Vietnam

Vietnam is an fascinating country and it was great to see it by bicycle. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable for everyone. Everything was incredibly well organized and all support staff were lovely.

Our guides, Dinh and Kha, were superb. Their English was excellent, and I appreciated their teamwork with each other and their willingness to share stories from their personal lives. They struck an excellent balance between the biking, which was easy - as advertised, and seeing important historic and religious sites. I was so moved by what the Vietnamese people have accomplished with their liberation, the beauty and fertility of the countryside, and the welcoming attitude of everyone we met! Bathroom breaks - very important to me - were well-timed and clean. I do agree with others' negative comments about tipping.The ride support was almost too good, but I especially appreciated it as I attempted Hai Van Pass.
