Fantastic day with Cuong who was a great guide. He was informative and funny. The bike ride was the highlight of the tour- I'm not a great cyclist but was able to manage and the group waited when I was a bit slow. We weren't bothered by touts which was a relief. The scenery on the bike and boat trip was superb. The boat area was quite crowded with locals being a Sunday. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic time, met some wonderful people, saw some wonderful sights, and made some great memories. Highlights of the trip would be Halong Bay and Hoian. Each excursion ran like clockwork and we were very impressed that the guides ran the day to suit us and that we never had to queue very long to get in anywhere. No hesitations in booking our next trip through this travel operator-amazing experience, hassle-free, and great value."
Cycling Vietnam was an amazing and fun trip from start to finish. Beautiful scenery and varied landscapes with a good mix of urban and rural cycling. Delicious food at every point. The Vietnamese could not have been more welcoming - especially the excited kids that cheered us along the country roads.
The tour was well organised with team leader (Lok) and support team (Xiu, Nhan and Truong) providing outstanding service throughout.
The tour covers a huge distance from south to north (with bus and train support!) and along the way we had the chance to soak up Vietnamese culture and history - paddi fields, cashew nuts, traditional fishing methods as well as the legacy of colonialism and war. The city stops varied from chocoloate-box-perfect Hoi An to cosmopolitan Hanoi and everything in between (including a few hair raising roundabouts!).
The cycling was a joy throughout. A great way to visit a great country!
