When visiting other operators websites we noticed many inconsistencies , contradictions and add on fees and charges ( helmets , transfers, etc ) making it difficult to know just how much a tour actually costs , we have done our utmost to clear up this process so you know just what your getting and for how much.   Our touring concentrates on the central highlands areas of Vietnam which is without parallel in Vietnam for scenery, diversity and pure riding pleasure, away from the well worn tourist trails and busy highways other operators seem stuck to.
We want to show you the REAL Vietnam, first hand and we have the knowledge and facilities to deliver. Australian owner/operator Jason Thatcher has used his 30 yrs  of riding and touring experience along with his immense passion for Vietnam to make every tour , standard or premium, long or short, one that will stay in the hearts and minds of each customer long after the ride has finished.
