Summary
I have traveled the world on motorbikes, always on a rental with a well-planned route. I have the flexibility to choose the food I want and the hotel I want, be it cheap or expensive.
When I run into people on motorbike tours, the biggest complaint is spending lots of money and being put into the cheapest hotels and cheapest restaurants. They often complain about missing out on what the country has to offer in terms of quality.
When I travel the North of Vietnam, I struggle with accommodation and food. I do not like hard mattresses, and I also require a Pizza from time to time!
Therefore, I would like to try a new pricing structure that allows the client to try and buy themselves out of the dorm room style homestays that have existed for years serving budget tour companies.
- Tour Guide per day (has his own bike) – 3,500,000VND
- Motorbike Rental – Choose your motorbike from the Tigit site. Prices are here.
- Hotels, food and everything else – paid by the client. Please cover the tour guide’s expenses)
Tour Highlights
- Choose your own route
- Choose when and if you want a proper hotel
- Have the guide recommend restaurants and hotels
- Have the guide check the motorbikes in the morning
- Have the guide as a backup motorbike for if you breakdown or crash
- Send the guide home anytime, because you don’t need him anymore!
Who this tour is for
Anyone or any group wanting to optimize their time in Vietnam. The guide can make sure the holiday goes smoothly.
Motorbiking is not cheap, and in Vietnam, motorbike tour companies tackle this problem by hosting dorm room-style homestays that allow for very cheap bulk accommodation. Homestays may have character, and tour companies get away with it in terms of negative feedback by calling it “someone’s home”. It isn’t good and it is not the way I would want to travel Vietnam.
There is too much variety in Vietnam to build a package, so it is better for the client to figure it out as they go, and to have a guide assist them!

Tour Guide
Tigit Guides
Tigit guides are local enduro enthusiasts. English is average at best. Passion lies in driving and motorbikes. A tour is a way to escape the Tigit office and be out there on the roads. Be assured they are enjoying the trip just as much as you are.
Tigit guides are selected based on their motorbike skills, we hope, that they have enough skills to get both themselves and you out of the mud!
