This was a well thought out trip and the bike equipment , the bike team support in each country was superb and the route was brilliant which allowed us to see many sights along the way, in addition to that we had a guide with a passion and enthusiam for her job.
Best vacation experience ever From booking to stepping off the plane back in the United States, this travel specialist seamlessly took care of my every need. There were zero issues because every time something changed, they were on it immediately. There were a few things that happened that were out of anyone's control (weather) and plans had to change. They were there at every turn making sure we were placed in a new experience immediately. I work out every day. Our hotel in Saigon had a gym that was under construction at the hotel. I contacted our concierge and within 5 minutes they had the hotel directly across the street inviting me to work out whenever I liked. The excursions were informative and fun. The agency was always ready to answer any questions and had great suggestions for our free days. They were concerned and caring about our safety and overall experience. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this agency and our trip. Mrs. Hein, Dat, Johnny and Tina were amazing and made a major impact on me personally by making this experience the best vacation I have ever been a part of.
While it’s ostensibly a cycling holiday, there was much more to the trip than that. My highlights:
- snorkelling off Whale Island
- the cycling descent from Da Lat, we descended from over 5,000ft to sea level in only a couple of miles
- cycling through Hoi An and Hué
- kayaking in Ha Long Bay
- the food, it was invariably fantastic
- the hotels which were far more luxurious than we had envisaged
- Cu Chi tunnels
- War Remnants museum in Saigon - very harrowing
- cycling up and down the Hai Van pass
- children in the villages and small towns shouting and waving at us
The whole trip was just one massive and immense experience - unforgettable.
