What is the ao dai motorbike tour?
The ao dai (Áo Dài) is Vietnam's traditional dress, and ao dai riders are local guides who wear it and lead the way by motorbike. Da Nang has a lot of motorbikes, and riding yourself on unfamiliar roads isn't safe. Sitting behind a rider lets you see the city the way locals do, and it's easy to stop by the roadside for snacks and photos.
Lanytrip's Da Nang Ao Dai Motorbike Tour is one-on-one with your own rider and includes hotel pickup and drop-off, so there's no meeting point to find.
