Guided motorcycle tours in Northern Vietnam — for experienced riders

The ultimate private expedition through Northern Vietnam.
You and a mate out front; me in support talking you through the trip as we go.

Who’s This Ride For?

This ride is for experienced motorcyclists who enjoy riding with purpose — good pace, great roads, and days that feel well spent. It’s about strong, engaging riding through Northern Vietnam’s best backroads, without rushing the experience.

You’ll appreciate this if you value flowing mountain passes, quiet valleys, and routes chosen because they’re genuinely worth riding. One-on-one guiding allows the day to adapt naturally, keeping the focus on the road, the conditions, and the quality of the ride.

Solo or Duo: Your Private Expedition

Whether you are riding solo or grabbing a mate to join you, the ride is completely yours. You and your partner lead the way — no group pressure, no tour flags — just you two riding how you like to ride.

I’ll be right there in your mirrors in the support position, handling the navigation, scouting the road ahead, and managing the local logistics. We stay connected the whole way with Cardo Bluetooth communications, allowing me to talk you through the hidden turns and highlights without breaking the flow.

See a view that takes your breath away? You just stop. No schedules, no group rhythm — just the freedom to explore with a professional backstop ensuring every moment is captured and every mile is seamless.

Sapa & Hà Giang – Why We Don’t Ride There

Sapa is one of Vietnam’s most well-known destinations. That said, it’s also extremely touristy and heavily developed. Busy roads, constant traffic, tour buses, and crowds mean it’s simply not suited to the kind of relaxed, immersive motorcycle touring we believe in.

Hà Giang, on the other hand, is undeniably spectacular. Unfortunately, in recent years it has been overwhelmed by mass tourism.

On top of this, Hà Giang Province is now heavily policed. For us, that level of enforcement and congestion takes away from the freedom, flow, and enjoyment that make motorbike travel special.

Moto Viet focuses on quieter regions, lesser-known roads, and places where riding still feels natural, unhurried, and authentic — where the journey is the reward, not the crowds.
