What Is an Easy Rider Tour in Danang?
An Easy Rider is a Vietnamese motorbike guide who speaks English and leads private tours across Vietnam’s roads, villages, and landscapes. An Easy Rider guides travelers through the country with stops at local families, unspoilt nature, food stalls, temples, and historic sites. Tours are private and cover routes off the main highway, providing direct access to areas that group tours do not reach. For context, see our previous guide on Marca Registrada Tour 2025-2026: Mi Mundo by EVO, 12 Cities, and Ticket Prices Starting at $35.
Travelers ride as a passenger on the back of the guide’s motorbike or, with a valid International Driving Permit, drive their own separate bike. The rate for sitting on the back or driving your own bike is the same. Gasoline is included in all tour prices.

How Do You Book Mr. Vu’s Danang Tours?
Bookings are made through easyridersvietnam.org. Within 48 hours of booking, Mr. Vu personally emails to confirm the tour. Check the spam folder, as his email sometimes arrives there. Tours departing from Danang, Hoi An, and Hue can be booked shortly in advance. Multi-day tours, including the Ha Giang Loop, require earlier booking due to high demand.
The pickup location is confirmed at booking or updated before departure. Travelers who wish to drive their own motorbike must possess a valid 1968-version International Driving Permit, obtained in their home country before arriving in Vietnam.
Why Book Mr. Vu’s Tours Over Group Tours in Danang?
Mr. Vu’s Easy Rider tours differ from standard group tours in 3 measurable ways. Tours are private and limited to 1 traveler or small groups per guide, routes avoid highways and tourist corridors, and itineraries are adjusted in real time based on weather, traffic, and personal interest.
One reviewer described an 11-day tour from Hanoi to Hoi An, noting that Mr. Vu took the group off the beaten track to unique places alongside well-known destinations, ensured safety and comfort at every stage, and provided quality riding gear and helmet communication systems throughout the entire journey. Central Vietnam’s geography – connecting Danang, Hoi An, Hue, and the Hai Van Pass within a 100-kilometer corridor – makes it the most tour-dense region Mr. Vu’s team operates in, and the most accessible starting point for both day trips and extended cross-country routes.
Donald Reeves writes about Everglades City the way the place deserves to be written about: without the brochure language, without the manufactured wonder, and without pretending that a town of 400 people sitting at the edge of a swamp is something it is not.
He has spent considerable time in Collier County’s oldest settlement, arriving during stone crab season when the waterfront smells of brine and work, and returning in the off-season when the tourists are gone and the town goes quiet in the particular way that only genuinely remote places can. He has paddled the mangrove tunnels of the Ten Thousand Islands, eaten at places with no hours posted on the door, and spoken at length with fishing guides who navigate these waters by memory rather than chart.
His writing on Everglades City FL covers everything from tidal fishing conditions and kayak trails to lodging, local history, and the complex past that most Florida travel content carefully avoids.
He writes to give readers the honest version.
