First things first: Hieu is not trying to scam you or take your money, you are safe with him.
My name is Chris and I'm a 25 year old civil engineer from Canada. I just finished the Hue City Tour and the 2 day trip to Hoi An via the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Both were Amazing.
You will get the following if you decide to use Hieu:
SAFETY - His bike is in good shape and in 3 days i never once felt in danger.
SERVICE - Hieu cleaned my silverwear, buckled my helmut and stopped where ever I wanted.
FOOD - Hieu knows amazing local restaurants at dirt cheap prices, he picked my food for me for 3 days and I did not have a bad meal or spend more than 25,000 dong.
THE REAL VIETNAM - Doing the 2 day trip to Hoi An was one of my best travel experiences to date.
The country is beautiful and the best way to see it is from a motorcycle. The wind in your face and the ability to look around, Plus he will stip whenever you want for photos.
The minority groups you will see are real. The don't try to sell you anything - they just want to come and say hello. They are easily the friendliest people I have seen in my travels.
If you don't take the tour with Hieu you will not see the real Vietnam.
For the price of a pair of nice pants you can have something you will never forget, Don't worry about the money. Just do it!!
Thank you so much Hieu.

Such a brilliant way to see Vietnam!! It sure beats sitting on a bus.
Linh and Quy are very safe and experienced drivers and I would recommend them to anyone who would usually be completley scared of speeding through the open road on a motorbike (ME!)
The stops along the way were beautiful - we felt like we had them all to ourselves. Just do it, even if its just this once - we weren't sure at first but now we don't regret a thing.
The scenery is far more beautiful when you have the wind blowing through your hair! So much fun, I will remember it forever.
Thanks Linh and Quy!

Tam and Quy were great, seriously great guys and you can totally be yourselves with them.
I was travelling with my girlfriend and whenever we wanted to stop to take photos, swim, look at cows etc ... the stopped.
We also met some of the indigineous people on the road and they helped us greet them (translate)!
These guys are cool, easy-going honest folks and you'll be very happy with them.
