Experience Vietnam the Local Way – With a Full-Time Guide

At Vietnam Backroads, our guides are more than just leaders—they're local experts. Each one is professionally trained, fully licensed, and deeply knowledgeable in Vietnamese history and culture. Passionate about cycling and adventure, they love sharing the hidden beauty of Vietnam with travelers from around the world.


No matter what type of trip you choose—a short ride, a day excursion, or a full multi-day tour—our itineraries always include a dedicated, full-time guide. For longer tours, your guide will meet you right at the airport upon arrival. They’ll help with your luggage, ensure a smooth check-in at your first hotel, and stay with you every step of the way. From the first pedal stroke to the final farewell, you’ll be in the care of someone who speaks the local language, knows the terrain, and understands the cultural nuances that turn a good trip into a great one.


Your guide becomes your trusted companion—offering insights, handling logistics, translating conversations, solving unexpected issues, and keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and engaged. Their presence ensures that your travel experience is seamless and immersive from beginning to end.


Vietnam Backroads is all about authentic experiences. Our guided tours are designed to take you well off the beaten path. With your guide leading the way, you'll explore rural villages, lush rice paddies, bustling local markets, and family-run workshops—places rarely seen by tourists.


Without a guide, these hidden corners of Vietnam might be difficult to find or understand. But with their help, you’ll gain a deeper connection to the places and people you encounter. They’ll introduce you to locals, explain traditions and customs, and bring meaning to the sights around you. What might seem ordinary becomes extraordinary through context and storytelling.


This isn’t just sightseeing—it’s meaningful travel. You don’t just observe Vietnam; you experience it, interact with it, and come away with memories shaped by genuine human connection.
