The Living Legends: The Men Behind the Easy Rider Story

In Đà Lạt, being an Easy Rider guide is not a summer job or a corporate franchise. It is a lifelong calling dedicated to gentle Asian hospitality, deep cultural storytelling, and 30+ years of mountain pass mastery that no GPS or money can ever buy.

Historical Fact & Heritage

From Lonely Planet 1991 to Global Acclaim

When Vietnam reopened its doors in the early 1990s, the first foreign backpackers reached Đà Lạt and met a group of local gentlemen who spoke French and English. These riders began taking travelers pillion through uncharted mountain trails across the Central Highlands.

The legendary travel guide Lonely Planet featured them in their early Vietnam editions, officially establishing the worldwide fame of Đà Lạt's motorcycle guides. Today, some of our elder uncles are 70 years old and still ride every single week — keeping the genuine spirit alive.
