I've now done two major tours with Saigon Scooter Centre, covering a large chunk of Viet Nam in the process. We rode along the stunning coast line from Ho Chi Minh City all the way to Hanoi and did the legion of loops in the North on a separate ride. Words can't describe the amazing experiences and sights that come with riding in an international group of like minded folk through one of the most beautiful countries in all of Asia. It should be on the bucket list of any true scooterist for sure, especially considering the actual cost of the ride. Most international motorcycle tours will easily cost three times as much for a 14 day trip. Pat and Linh are absolutely amazing hosts and organizers who run a tight ship and make a great team. There are countless scooter and motorbike places in Saigon alone, but SSC has to be the creme of the crop. They are simply the best in South East Asia when it comes to classic scooters a la Vespa and Lambretta. You can buy/rent a classic or book a tour, they even offer customized ones. If classic is not your cup of tea, go with a twisty, they've got those, too. Pat hails from the UK and runs his business like a true professional. To top it off, he also manufactures a ton of of his own parts for the classics and offers a host of electric scooter options as well.
