Vietnam

The exquisite beauty of this country is astonishing. I love cycling in every country I’ve been to. You really feel and see the local way of life. I enjoy experiencing local culture up close and with local guides.

Our guides, Dinh and Kha, were superb. Their English was excellent, and I appreciated their teamwork with each other and their willingness to share stories from their personal lives. They struck an excellent balance between the biking, which was easy - as advertised, and seeing important historic and religious sites. I was so moved by what the Vietnamese people have accomplished with their liberation, the beauty and fertility of the countryside, and the welcoming attitude of everyone we met! Bathroom breaks - very important to me - were well-timed and clean. I do agree with others' negative comments about tipping.The ride support was almost too good, but I especially appreciated it as I attempted Hai Van Pass.
