Excellent- Julie Fonua and Sione Fonua
Very well. Information was very detailed and well chosen for us. No problems at all. Coco Riverside Lodge was excellent we would have loved to have stayed longer in this beautiful place and enjoyed the great hospitality. Service was extremely good. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable and the driver was very good and safe. Every place we visited we were taken care of very well. Hope to return again in the future.
Excellent cultural exposure to the areas. The trip was full of cultural and educational information and experiences. The bicycling allowed us to get to places otherwise not available. Logistics were handled excellently. Guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Overall a wonderful experience.
This was our first trip with Explore - and indeed our first Group trip. Everything was amazing. The amount of cycling was perfect, rest stops, support teams, photo opportunities, planning.....everything. A group of four people is a little 'intense' however on the whole we navigated the relationships well within the group. One of the highlights for us was Binh himself. He was such an amazing Guide/Tour Leader - words don't really convey how important he was to our enjoyment of the experience. For us, his personal stories made Vietnam's history come alive, and yet he took care to convey many perspectives on the recent history of the country and people. We were able to meet his parents and visit his home which was really a very special moment. Binh is a real asset to Explore. He is articulate, skilled, very caring and respectful - to the people of Vietnam, to the tour participants and support teams, and to the organisation Explore. With development and growth opportunities he could go very far as a mentor and leader in the company and in the tour industry.
