The reason why i built this site

Click here to go to the Website of the EasyRider we traveled with.

In 2004 My wife and me went from Dalat to Nha Trang with Thao(Paddy) en Nguyen, two members of the dalat's easyriders.
We became friends on the way with these guys who have found an alternative way into exploring the real Vietnam as it is now, letting you see things you wouldn't see if you travel with the big tour buses. Explaining everything in an articulate way. and letting you meet people of various kinds along the way with keeping respect to anyone.

Tour with Paddy and Than
185 Reads
 
 
I visited Vietnam 4years ago and was blessed to meet Paddy in the first week of my journey. I was travelling on my own and had never been o/seas beafore. Paddy was so helpful and absolutely made my trip a 'journey' never to be forgotten. My travels with Paddy were the absolute highlight of my 3 months in Vietnam!!

I have now returned to Vietnam, and spent 9 days touring from Hoi An to Dalat along the Ho Chi Minh trail and through the central highlands. Then on to Nga Trang. Once again.... the BEST part of my travels!!!! Paddy is such a generous, witty, kind, funny and knowledgable man. I have a friend travelling with me this trip, and the four of us did the journey together. Me, Paddy, Vicki and Than. Both Paddy and Than are incredibly articulate and share such a wealth of information about their country. It is the only way to travel!!!
If you choose to travel with either of these wonderful men, you will have memories that fill your mind and your heart with joy and wonderment.
Paddy.... I am so grateful for your kindness and your generous soul!!!

1 Day tour of Dalat

As a last minute, quick trip, three friends and I were connected to the 'real' Dalat Easyriders by our hotel: Dreams Hotel. For $20 USD, the four of us were escorted by Mr. Paddy Do Thao (do_thao_guide@hotmail.com) and his friends around the countryside surrounding Dalat for the day. We were able to see manys.

The Highlights of Our Journey from Saigon (Vietnam) to Shangri La (China)
203 Reads
 
 
I organize trips whenever I travel with my small group of travel buddies, packed with activities like mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, diving and trekking. I tend to choose the roads less travelled.

One of the best roads we've taken was in Vietnam, where we were very lucky to engage an Easyrider, Mr. Paddy Do Thao (do_thao_guide@hotmail.com) to bring us from Dalat to Hoi An, across Central Vietnam and through HCM trails. We've had bad experiences with a few other "fake" easyriders whom demanded for a higher price than agreed and most of the time, they could not

Hi, Peter and Gail here! We recently had a 7 day private tour in an immaculate 4WD from Hoi An to HCM City, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy cities, through the Central Highlands and along the Ho Chi Minh trail. Our guide, Hong, and our driver, Huang - both Dalat EasyRiders, are two of the nicest people we have met in our travels. They are very caring and compassionate towards

Arlette and I have been in Vietnam for 3 weeks and really loved it! We did so many great things... The best we did was a 3-day motortour with the easyriders from Dalat. We had two great guides (Do Thao and Mr. Tu). They showed us so much about real Vietnamese life and were very nice for us!

Me and my girlfriend just returned from a trip with Mr Thao (aka Paddy) and Mr Tu through the countryside surrounding Dalat. We were a little nervous about doing a motorbike tour, never having ridden motorbikes in our lives, but we went ahead and booked and were very happy we made the right decision. Both guides were

We have been in Vietnam for two weeks and have found most people to be honest, however, we were scammed when leaving hue train station, being offered a bus ticket (by a seemingly helpful person, right at the ticket office) to be picked up when we arrived in Danang- NO BUS WAS THERE!! We were saved by "The brilliant easy riders" who kindly put us on the right path, Thank-you very much for the FREE map and your HONESTY. Sorry for being so skeptical, but after our last experience we were weary. We strongly suggest to use their services, cheaper than cabs, very safe and once again, HONEST!!!!!! Thanks a million "Easy riders" xxoo

A captivating ride with Mr. Thao and Mr. Quy.
660 Reads
 
 
My son and I shared a leisurely ride with Mr. Thao (a.k.a. Paddy) and Mr. Quy from Dalat to the beaches of Nha Trang.

Mr. Thao is a wonderful host with a passion for life in the countryside; he has a vast amount of knowledge of it and shares that with you without becoming overbearing.
He has an excellent command of English and so we learned a lot about the vegetation along the route, the tea and coffee plantations, the minorities and their habits, the food, the history.

The views along the way are

A Day Trip with Paddy
437 Reads
 
 
On a recent trip to Vietnam we had the good fortune to meet Do Thao (Paddy) who took us on a day trip around the Dalat countryside.
Paddy is a real gem, he is friendly, speaks excellent English and is prepared to take time to make sure that we had an informative and enjoyable trip. He was very patient with an apprehensive passenger and successfully built the confidence of his passenger.
Thank you very much Paddy.

Nha Trang to Dalat
484 Reads
 
 
David Bourne and Shannon Rose ( Australians) travelled with Thao and Ly from Nha Trang to Dalat.

We have just returned from a 3 day tour from Nha Trang to Dalat with Thao and Ly. Having been in Vietnam for 3 weeks prior to this trip we wanted to see the country from a local perspective. This 3 days gave us this opportunity and was definitely the best 3 days of our trip to Vietnam. We saw so many things that would not be possible from a train or bus and these gave us a more holistic understanding of Vietnamese culture. The guides were fantastic. They rode safely, provided invaluable information about sights and made every effort to make us comfortable and happy. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is considering using the Easyriders, especially Thao and Ly.

It was a really great experience to ride on the back of a bike in that beautiful landscape near Dallat and Lac lake.
And Thao and Thien are really wonderful guides!!!
We had good discussions and laughed very much together. And we got in contact with many people of the country and learned much about Vietnam. Great Fun and interesting days!!!

We were in Dalat in December and had the opportunity to ride with Thao and Mo to Nha Trang. Those guys were fantastic and I have no hesitation in recommending them at all. They took us to out of the way areas where the tour buses didn't go and we got to see the real Vietnam. They also doubled as interpretors which is a huge bonus.

I've traveled 3 months true south-east Asie, and the best thing I did was going on tour with the easyriders! It's not because I didn't do nice things during my trip, but because this is one of the best things you can do!

I did a trip during 6 days. We went from Dalat to Hoi an, and that was almost 1000 km! I didn't had that much fun without my easyriders HONG & PADDY ( Thao )! The showed us the real vietnam! We came to different kind of places trought the central Highlands and we didn't saw any tourists except us! The best thing we did was eating with Hilltribes, who had never saw a tourist before, except 1 time! The whole villages came to see us, we ate with them, we drunk ricewine, everybody was singing and dancing! IT WAS AMAZING!
