Bogate tradycje Hue na skuterach Vespa
(4h: 8.00-12.00 or 13.00-17.00)
Kick off the day with a Vietnamese coffee or fresh juice at a local cafe, where you’ll meet your tour guide and get ready to get off the beaten path of Hue. Your first stop will be a family temple, where you get to learn about the strong traditions and responsibilities that come along with Vietnamese family culture. Then take a stroll down the street, learning about the French colonial influence on architecture and the struggle the locals have to preserve their beautiful riverside homes. The short stroll will finish at a local bustling market, where you get the opportunity to see the daily hustle of Vietnamese women and the selling point of ancient worshiping materials. After the market, hop on a small ferry to cross the Perfume River, where you’ll find our Vespas waiting on the other side.
Zoom through small countryside streets, finding yourself getting further from city life. We will stop at a small workshop producing worship materials. Next stop- get a chance to make your own small folk art print while sipping on some green tea. Then make your way through the vibrant rice paddies by Vespa and a local ancient bridge hangout where people of all ages go to relax and enjoy the cool river breeze. You’ll get the perfect opportunity to mingle with the locals and interact with them.

Smaki Hue na skuterach Vespa
(4,5h: 17.30-22.00)
Hue is a city that boasts over 1,000 specialty dishes. We’d love to try them all in one Hue food tour, but we have found the perfect amount to give you the best Hue has to offer. Kicking off with cocktails or cold beer, you’ll meet your tour guide and get ready for an evening of dining & learning about Hue cuisine. From here, take a short stroll to a family owned Banh Beo restaurant, where you can give a go at rolling your own “cake”. After attempting to master this art, sit down and relax with a beer and get your first tastes of Hue cuisine. Next, take a ride through the city and get a beautiful view of the Perfume River, ending up at our next stop- a bustling local restaurant. Try some classic Vietnamese dishes such as grilled pork skewers & Vietnamese pancakes– Hue style. From here, nighttime has arrived, so you’ll zoom through the lit Citadel walls and by the local riverside stalls. This ride will bring you to another local favourite where you can try some more daring dishes if you’d like (you’ll be pleasantly surprised!). After this restaurant, you will enjoy the final stop of the food tour, a popular Vietnamese dessert shop to taste some things on the sweeter side.

This rural tour of Hoi An gives a real insight into the lives of local residents. We set off from Cafe Zoom, cross the bridge to Cam Kim island and along the river into beautiful rural landscapes. The first stops are the House of the Ancestors and the traditional yard of the shipyard, before we set off to explore the sleepy villages on the island. You will drive with us through the breathtaking landscapes of rice fields and arable fields - enjoy the cool breeze! Then you will learn from local family friends the art of weaving mats, growing and how to make (and eat) the perfect Banh Dap rice crackers. Meeting local families is a must to see the real lifestyle in Vietnam.
After eating rice crackers, we will visit a local cafe to drink coffee and learn the art of smoking. Then we go to the coast by the mouth of the river Thu Bon, along the roads planted with Casuarina pine and cashew nuts. Finally, we will enter high on a new bridge, which offers a spectacular view of Hoi An, which will lead us to Cam Thanh, and then to a local lunch at a restaurant in a picturesque area.

IMPORTANT: This route is a one-day trip. The adventure begins in Hoi An and ends at your hotel in Hue. We can help you arrange private transport if you want to return to Hoi An this evening. You can also start this route in Hue and end in Hoi An. Baggage transport is included in the price.
We begin our adventure when our experienced drivers lead you out of Hoi An along a coastal road, stopping at the northern end of the world-famous Da Nang Beach to see local people involved in fish trading. Then, after a short break on a hanging bridge with a view of the city of Da Nang and the fishing port, we sail along Da Nang Bay, where we stop at the fishing temple. Guided by motorcycle on the famous Hai Van Pass, we enjoy the amazing views of the bay before we stop at the top to see old war blanks and bunkers and learn about the fascinating history and strategic importance of the pass. We'll also have coffee in a local style. Then we go down to the Hai Van Pass, a winding road in the hills, and then we will make a short stop to enjoy the amazing view of Lang Co Beach and the lagoon from the pass. After driving across the lagoon decorated with stilt houses and oyster farms, we will have a well-deserved Vietnamese lunch in a charming local setting.
Our fascinating ride continues when we head north to a calmer coastal road, passing wonderful rural landscapes. We pass many family houses and tombs that play an important role in Vietnamese culture. Then we jump down from Vesp and go to the Buddhist pagoda at the top of the hill with a beautiful view of the great lagoon. After a break in a local cafe we will visit and learn about the history of the thousand-year-old Cham Temple and the Kingdom of Champa. Our last episode to Hue leads us through even more beautiful rural landscapes and local villages, we visit the local family making fish sauce, we pass many decorative tombs and ancestral houses and local boat building workshops.

FAQ, which is what you ask most often
Each of our trips is worth the price. Most companies that provide similar services smuggle in hidden costs without providing the highest level of service. With SaigonRides you can be sure that our goal is not reaching into your wallet. Each of the trips also helps local families with whom we cooperate. If you are interested, please contact us!
Drivers are Vietnamese who have been driving for at least 5 years. They have experience in everyday driving in very heavy traffic, some of them work professionally as drivers.
Our trips start with at least 2 people.
Of course. We have already hosted many small guests delighted on trips on motorbikes. Children can travel alone or, if they are smaller, together with a parent, on one motorcycle.

Trips take place regardless of the weather, drivers have raincoats for everyone. Of course, we will not travel in heavy rains, but wait in one of the eateries with treats. After the downpour, we will continue our journey.
Of course. Vietnamese cuisine is extremely "friendly" for vegetarians and vegans, offering a whole bunch of dishes that will be suitable for your diet. We recommend private trips in this situation, where we can adjust all stops (eateries with food) to your eating preferences.
