Dear Anh,

Thank you so much for your fantastic service and friendly advice, on everything from using the bikes, where to ride, and where to go for coffee. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with offroadvietnam.com. I will be certain to post some comments to this effect on the LP Thorntree.

Kind regards,

Oliver.

I just returned from an amazing 12-day motorbike trip around the northwest corner of Vietnam - from Mai Chau to Dien Bien Phu and on to Sapa before returning to Hanoi. In order to put my solo trip together, I contacted Anh Wu, the owner and operator of Offroad Vietnam. Anh set me up with a reliable motorbike, maps, and appropriate safety and rain gear, for what I thought was a very reasonable price. Anh is a great guy, extremely personable, helpful, and - ideal for foreigner visitors - speaks English fluently. While traveling, I felt very comfortable knowing that I could contact Anh via phone or e-mail if any problems arose. None did and other than a little adverse weather here and there, I had one of the most memorable adventures of my life. Vietnam is a spectacular country filled with friendly and welcoming people. I highly recommend both the country and Offroad Vietnam Adventures!

Sincerely, Evan Tea from the USA.

Dear Anh and Chi,

We really enjoyed our short 'safari' (In Swahili, the main language in Kenya, Central Africa 'safari' means 'journey') with Chi. He has a great knowledge, likes to share his views and stories with us and informed us on many things we did not know about Vietnam. We also enjoyed the Honda 160cc, it handles quite well for the small machine but I will not swop my BMW!!

Anh, I could not upload pictures to your website but here is a few attached.

Kind regards,

Testimonial

My girlfriend and me rent a motorbike (Honda 160cc) from Mister Anh Wu, from Offroad Vietnam shop last April 2008 and we did a trip to North Vietnam. Contacting with Mister Anh Wu by email was really fast and easy. He quickly understood the type of travel we wanted to do and provided us with all we needed. For example, he gave us extra tools and spare parts that could possibly break or be damages during our trip (we were traveling without a guide and only on one bike). However we only had one flat tire in our 9 days trip, and repairing it only took us 15 minutes in a local repair shop. Unless you go to very remote areas, there are motorbike workshops everywhere.

We depart from hectic Hanoi up to the calm and green North Vietnam. All the roads are enjoyable to ride. Vietnam is perfect for riding! The motorbike did an excellent job, very smooth, a very comfortable riding position and with enough power to carry me, my girlfriend and 2 side bags with our luggage. We are not a very weighty couple :) so we manage to ride comfortably.

About our trip, we rode directly to Bac Ha because we wanted to go to Si Ma Cai, a small town just on the border area with China. The road from Bac Ha to Si Ma Cai is the most beautiful we did in all our trip. If you want to go there be sure to get a Special Permit in Bac Ha to ride next to the border with China. Ask mister Anh Wu about this.

Me and my girlfriend had a incredible experience riding in such beautiful country like Vietnam. I would like to recommend the services form Mister Anh Wu at Offroad Vietnam because he was extremely professional and friendly.

Ride safe, respect nature and interact with people!

Thanks from Roger and Indri!

Subject: RE: I'd like to rent a motorcycle

Anh,

I wanted to thank you and your wife for such a truly memorable experience. The entire reservation process was extremely simple and I felt very comfortable about the rental as well as the quality of the motorcycle provided. Once outside of chaotic Hanoi, the roads and highways in North Vietnam were very manageable and easy to navigate. In the event I fell off course, the local people along the way always pointed me in the right direction notwithstanding the language barrier. For those interested in a very special experience, I recommend Ha Long Bay and an excursion out to the numerous beaches and/or floating fish markets by boat. While ashore, I stayed at the Thong Nhat 3 Hotel along the main road in Bai Chay, which proved inexpensive ($15 USD) and very easy to find. Overall, I recommend the experience to anyone, independent or with a group, with a penchant for the unique holiday. I’ve attached a handful of pictures below, enjoy.

Thanks again,

Michael
