What people are saying
“Excellent experience in Hanoi with Ben Spill. He’s an excellent instructor, passionate, patient, and clear, even for a French whose native language isn’t English. The off-road lesson is well designed to give you time to practice. This is a fantastic concept for people who want to improve their riding skills or for beginners. And this is unique in Hanoi! Ben’s advice will help me with my next road trip. Thank you!”
Off-road lesson

“I booked a full day off-road tour with Ben and he took me to a fantastic area barely 40 minutes from the city, loaded with great dirt roads and forest trails. He gave me some good tips on body positioning, balancing, and how to control the bike. Just what I needed. What a terrific day. The Yamaha WR 155 I rode was perfect, and is an excellent machine for this type of riding. I can’t recommend this enough.”
One day off-road tour
— Derek P, 2025 ★★★★★
“I hadn’t ridden a bike for over 20 years so was a bit nervous to start. The following 2 days turned out to be an incredible experience. The routes and tracks we rode were perfect for me and my ability, I was challenged but never over challenged. This was no accident. Ben was a great guide, tutor, host and one of those genuine people you occasionally meet. The accommodation setting was spectacular, food amazing, and the more remote we went the more we were welcomed by the locals. Thanks again Ben!”
