Because this tour is by SCOOTER , so we will have 2 options for you:
First option: The rented scooter fee is 7$ USD = 180k per scooter, you drive it by yourself. If you prefer to ride a scooter yourself, you must have a valid international scooter/motorbike license. Additionally, you will be responsible for your own safety and any accidents that may occur during the tour. After the tour 4 hours, if you don't want to return the scooter, you can keep it as long as in 24 hours. Or you can rent your own scooter and join the tour with us. .
Second option: We will be your drivers & tour guides, you will sit behind our scooters, each tour guide will drive each guest, including the insurance accident. This option is a private tour, so I can even conduct the tour with 1 guest.
(if you can not do the first option, you can consider choosing second option or choose other walking tours if you feel it inconvenient)
