Great group if youre interested in a lot of travel and partying- not enough time spent in one place with many hours of travel time. A good way to see the country and hit all the highlights, but not enough time to really get to know a place. Im on the older end of the 18-45 yo spectrum and could adapt to the frequent drinking/party nights by just going to bed early - but it also meant we didnt get going early enough in the morning for me. The tour coordinators are young social friendly people but not very knowledgeable about a region (not tour guides - but the local tour guides they use are very knowledgeable). Also I would have liked a more detailed itinerary- probably wouldnt have signed up if I knew that most dinners are at 20:00 and there are several nights that are meant for late night partying- but I was okay just doing my own thing and going to bed early. For reference I did Epic Asia (Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia)
This trip was a great exploration of Vietnam, from big cities to rural villages. The roads selected for our rides were quite good and smooth for the most part, with a few bumpy sections. Bikes provided were comfortable, of good quality and well-maintained. I've had this trip on my radar for a couple years and it did not disappoint.
A fabulous experience, not least because Vietnam is such a varied and beautiful country with vibrant, hectic cities, enchanting villages and wonderfully welcoming people. This trip gives you the chance to experience all aspects of life in Vietnam and the excellent service you receive from the tour leader means that you can relax and fully appreciate everything on offer.
