Nana was the most incredible tour guide. From the moment he picked me up from the airport, he welcomed me and the rest of the group with open arms and made us feel so comfortable and able to ask any questions. He was very informative with any of my worries or questions as this was my first trip to Asia and first tour that I’ve booked. I would 100% do it again. We did lots of fabulous activities and Nana always helped to provide the best out of every opportunity. I stepped outside of my comfort zone by trying new foods which he suggested, and encouraged lots of group discussion which made me make friends more easily. The transport was great, very comfortable and smooth sailing all the way. Over Songkran, Nana encouraged us to get involved which was one of the highlights of the trip. The environment made Siem Reap very memorable. He also gave us different suggestions for things to do in the various areas which was great as it gave everyone the opportunity to either do an activity or to have down time. As well as this, the boat trip from Koh Rong was stunning. The scenery and whole experience of snorkelling was magical, and the sunset was the best I’ve ever seen and would make me want to return purely for that. Nana is a very special person and truly made my experience of Cambodia altogether. My only critique was the homestay in Koh Rong, it was very unclean and the breakfast service wasn’t good at all. On our last day on checkout, we waited 45 minutes to be served our food by which point we had to leave for our boat. The location of it was great but I would maybe suggest trying another accommodation.
I honestly cannot fault anything of this trip. It was an experience I will never forget, and although apprehensive while on the flight to Ho Chi Min city, I was at ease as soon as I met our Tour Guide, Long Le, and the rest of the cycling group. All extremely interesting, kind and fun people. The cycling was perfectly manageable with bus option available throughout the day. The scenery, the food, the landscapes and villages we cycled through, the additional activities (snorkelling, kayaking, cooking, water puppet show) were all 10/10.
Moreover, Long and his support crew were enthusiastic , hard working, patient, friendly, thoughtful and above all made everyone feel happy and comfortable.
If you are in two minds about this trip, just book it. Don't think twice as you will not regret it.
Cycling Vietnam, departing 0 7.02.2016 A thoroughly enjoyable 2 weeks. We had 8 days cycling on great bikes and with the scenery getting more spectacular as days went on we were treated to an amazing number of different experiences. Our accommodation was of a high standard and lunches and snacks were always awaiting us at the right times. We were a big group (18) but as we all got on well and our leader had great support from his assistant guide and the bus drivers the large number was no problem. At least one supporter was there to guide us/ stop traffic at every junction.
