Can I change my booking?

It is possible to make changes to your booking if you let us know ahead, however, it depends what the possibilities are:

Change tour: based on availability of guides, it is possible to change your tour to a different one. The deposit for your original tour is non-refundable. You pay one hundred (100) percent of the total amount due of the new tour in cash to the Easy Rider(s).
Request specific sights: it is possible to get from your starting location to your destination via sightings of your choice. Please discuss your wishes with your Easy Rider at the start of your tour.
Change startdate: based on availability of guides, this is possible, free of charge.
Add person to booking: based on availability of guides, this is possible. Please book again, just for this extra person, and add in the comment section of the booking that you are travelling together. Mentioning the order number of your initial booking under ‘Remarks’ on the booking form is much appreciated ;-).
Cancel booking: we discuss that over here.

Most asked & answered

What is an Easy Rider motorbike tour?

An Easy Rider is a Vietnamese guide on a motorbike. Our Easy Riders are English-speaking, licensed tour guides who know the ins and outs of Vietnamese roads, nature, history and culture. Touring with an Easy Rider means that you comfortably sit on the back of the motorbike behind the guide – wearing protective gear – while you travel from one city to the next, stopping regularly to enjoy sights, local experiences, drinks and meals.

Tours start between 8 and 9 AM, and end between 3 and 5 PM. Your Eay Riders picks you up and drops you off at your accommodation. Multiple day tours include overnight stays.

➡️ More info: How do I pay for the tour? | Why do I pay in Euros?

Confirmation
You receive an automatically generated booking confirmation. Within 48 hours of booking, our head Easy Rider Mr. Vu will also email you to confirm your tour.

⚠️ Please check the spam folder, as sometimes his email ends up here.

How far in advance should I book?
You can book tours departing from Dalat, Hoi An and Hue shortly beforehand. For popular multiple-day tours (like the Ha Giang Loop), we advice you to book ahead. It’s okay if you don’t know your pick-up or drop-off location yet, you can let us know later.

Self-driving & International Driving Permit

On the tour, you can drive yourself if you are:

a party of at least two people; on every tour at least one person sits behind an Easy Rider.
in possession of a valid motorcycle license (A1 or A2), and;
in possession of a valid 1968-version of the International Driving Permit (IDP), obtained in your home country;

We will make sure to get you a well maintained motorbike (manual or clutch) and protective gear. The rate for sitting on the back or driving your own bike is the same, gasoline is included.

For safety reasons, we don’t allow passengers on the motorbikes for self-driving.

Luggage

Each person can bring one (1) backpack or suitcase (max. 20 kg / 44 lbs) and one (1) daypack or handbag on the tour. Even pretty big hard scale suitcases can be tied to the back of the motorbike as long as they are not over 20 kg (44 lbs); it’s more about weight distribution than size.

All luggage is put in waterproof bags and tied to the front or back of the motorcycle.

Is it a private tour or do we ride in groups?

On most occassions, it’s just you and your Easy Rider(s): a private tour.

During peak seasons (July & August, November – February), we sometimes combine multiple bookings to a small group. This group then consists of all the guests who have booked the same route on the same date(s). This is most common on our popular day tours (covering the Hai Van Pass).

Our Ha Giang Loop tours are always private tours. For us, this is an important way to distinguish our tours in this region from the awfully big groups some operators ride with.

If you are travelling by yourself and would love to join another group, here’s what you can do.
