Tours
LP-Mototour offers you a unique and tailor-made programme based on your driving proficiency and dependent on whether you are looking simply for a beautiful experience or for a more demanding adventure.
Our approach is to provide the biker with an unparalleled experience combining riding through the most picturesque villages and national parks or simply discovering the open road wherever it leads, the choice is yours. The bike riding will be complemented by staying in beautiful hand picked individual hotels along the Mekong or in the middle of the jungle where you can experience the diversity of both local and international gastronomy.

We aim to build the adventure around you so as to ensure that the tour is specifically tailored to meet your individual needs. This includes the following:
- All tours are predefined before your arrival to ensure that all your expectations are fully met;
- Provision of high-quality bikes based on either Honda CRF 250 L’s or Honda XR 250’s along with equipment and accessories dependant on your riding proficiency, size and specific needs;
- As no luggage is allowed on the bikes we will collect and take your luggage on to each stage of your trip (which will allow you to travel more freely and safely so that you can fully enjoy your trip);
- By request, the possibility of transporting your non-biker companions/family to pick-up points and hotels selected for overnight stays;
- There will be some riding on dirt roads and fording of rivers, though nothing too difficult, and always respecting individual riding proficiency;
- Tours combine riding reasonable distances with time to relax when arriving at your accommodation;
