The French were first responsible for bringing Vespas to Vietnam, and after they were expelled in the early 1950’s, their Vespas remained behind and quickly became a quintessential part of the Vietnamese culture. After the end of the American War in 1975, the Vietnamese government isolated its economy from outside influences, thus causing the Vespas to become status symbols for those who could afford them. With no new replacements available, locals had to maintain these machines as best they could, and they became experts at understanding the secret workings of the fickle Italian two-strokes.

Vietnam Vespa Adventures, HGH’s business partner, prides themselves on using Vespas that all hail from that Golden Era on our tours. When you go on a tour with us, we want you to get a locals perspective. As you ride one of our bikes, you are riding on a bike that has been in this country for 40+ years. By maintaining the bikes, we believe that we are maintaining this motorbike culture and that our tours can help our guests have a once in a lifetime experience and feel what it was like to zoom around Saigon and Vietnam on a vintage Vespa.

Whether you’re riding pillion on the back of a restored vintage Vespa for one of our several local tours of Saigon or take the wheel yourself for our three-day and seven-day trips to oceanside Mui Ne or Nha Trang, you’ll find we’ve tailored each journey to take advantage of the most authentic sights and experiences Vietnam has to offer.
