    At around 8:30 am, The Ho Chi Minh Trail Motorcycle Tour starts from our shop in the western outskirt of Hanoi. With other people, the first day is difficult day but for us the first day ride to Mai Chau is the highlight of this motorbike tour. We head up to the west of Hanoi on the free way where the traffic looks busy but you can have safe motorbike ride to move out of Hanoi. After just about 1 hour ride, we will be in the mountain area of northern Vietnam where we can enjoy an interesting motorcycle tour in North Vietnam through some peaceful villages on the back-roads that offer you amazing view of green mountain and rice fields, and remind you about Halong bay.
