This page brings together what you should read before booking a journey with MotoTours Asia: how to book, the booking terms and cancellation policy, the payment and contract procedure, our safety commitment, how we handle your personal data, and a full guide to taking a motorcycle across the Vietnam and China border.
MotoTours Asia has organised and led long-distance guided motorcycle expeditions across Vietnam and Asia since 1995, and holds Vietnamese international tour operator licence No. 0491/2006/TCDL-GP LHQT, issued in January 2006. It was the first operator in Southeast Asia to run a BMW GS adventure fleet, and runs three to four Yunnan–Tibet–Everest Base Camp rides a year; its founder’s longest journey was a 60-day ride from Hanoi to Portugal.
Booking guide
What to read and understand before you book: what the itinerary involves, who the trip suits, and the cancellation terms. Read this before you pay a deposit.
Booking conditions
MotoTours Asia’s booking terms: the obligations on both sides, and the circumstances in which the policy may be adjusted.
Payment, tour confirmation and contract execution procedure
The stages at Hidden Horizons Odyssey Co., Ltd: deposit, confirmation of your place, then signing the travel contract. On international routes whose permits take four to six weeks, these dates decide whether the trip can happen at all.
Safety first
Our safety commitment to guests and crew alike, and what we do so you can concentrate on the ride rather than the risk.
Data protection
The personal information you give us is treated as confidential and used only by the person handling your booking — including the passport and licence documents we need when arranging permits abroad.
Still not what you were looking for?
Every tour page carries its own questions and answers for that specific route: how hard the riding is, the best months to go, which documents you need and how long they take. Or call +84 979 900 800 — we reply within 24 hours.
Riding from Vietnam into China
Whether you can ride from Vietnam into China depends on where your bike is registered. Which plates may cross, at which gate, on what paperwork and in what order, plus an hour-by-hour account of a real crossing day at Lao Cai and Hekou.
