Tung, our guide, & Nhan , our driver, made sure that they did everything they could so that we would have an amazing time & that all or needs were met.
The riding itself was mostly very do-able; we cruised around quieter streets in villages, & I believe we got to see parts of Vietnam that most tourists don’t get to experience. We did have one day of more demanding terrain, & Tung remedied that by changing the geared bike to an electric bike just for the hardest leg of the ride - what a luxury! The weather was very hot but we stopped every 15ks for fruit & a drink so there was no chance of feeling sick, & the offer of the air-conditioned van was always there!
We had an absolutely great time & the tour certainly allowed us to create memories in a country we had never experienced while doing something we love!

The riding, although hot & steady, was offset by interesting and informative highlights of Vietnam’s vast cultural heritage. We had a wonderful driver, & an exceptional tour guide.

Our guide Tung and support crew Kenny and T were very professional, attentive and encouraging.Lovely, generous, kind, hardworking humans! Every detail was thought of and Tung adjusted the route according to the weather and our fitness. E-bike and van support always available. This is a unique (best) way to experience the food and villages of vietnam and Tung shares his vast knowledge of the history of the country. The hotels were 4-5 star and beautiful end of day destinations. A level of fitness required but you dont have to be a full on cyclist to participate although padded bike shorts recommended! Highly, highly recommend and highly recommend Tung and his team. They lifted the experience beyond a riding tour.

Tung’s knowledge of Vietnam history and current day Vietnam was excellent, enabling us to learn a lot on a relatively short time. The ride itself was great, going through some beautiful places and villages. Overnight stopover towns and hotels were excellent. Some parts of the ride are not for basic riders with hard climbs but worth it in the end.
Great experience, fun and good company.

We had a private tour of 2 people with a driver and an English speaking tour guide. Our tour was for 7 nights covering six different hotels, and four of the hotels (5-star) exceeded our expectations. The places that we were taken to by the tour guide for lunches and dinners were below our expectations, so we told the tour guide we would pick our own places for dinners instead, and they reimbursed us for the included meal costs - good that they could be flexible to meet our needs. We just paid extra if we overspent above the budget which was fair. We also did not like cycling in city peak hour traffic, and the tour guide was kind enough to organise for the support van to pick us up and transport us to a more quiet road to continue with our ride for that day. As we had only 2 people, they could provide us with an e-bike and a normal push bike each, so we could choose the bikes we wanted depending on how hard the ride was going to be for a particular day. Overall, we rated the tour well, impressed with the accommodation and logistics, well planned routes by the tour guide, and happy with the meals budget and flexibility they offered.
There are rooms for improvements, and these are:
1) Better locations for meals that suit the tour group.
2) Make all accommodations 5-star - have an option to pay a little more for this.
3) Tour guide should stop at lookout points for us to take photos. We missed some nice photos while riding in the mountains.
4) The support van should pick stops that either have a toilet and/or views so as we take a break, we can also take some photos of the beautiful scenery.
5) The support van should be in a better condition - charge more if you have to. The first van from Saigon to Dalat was great. Then we swapped to another van for the duration of the trip, and that van could be better.
6) Have better maintained bikes - charge extra if you have to. We had some issues with brakes on one e-bike and the gear shifting was not as smooth as our own bikes at home.
Having said the above, we would be happy to do another tour with the same company again, and happy to pay extra for better things. Well done overall.
Excellent tour! Support staff- from office administrator and communications to tour leader, group lead rider and driver first rate!!! Could not ask for anything more....

From the moment we booked, the service was exceptional. Our chief guide, Tung, took excellent care of us throughout the trip. He was incredibly responsive during the booking process, answering all of our questions almost immediately, which made planning the trip a breeze.
The route itself was very well-planned, taking us off the beaten path and into the heart of rural Vietnam. We had the chance to explore scenic landscapes and quiet villages, away from the typical tourist trails. It truly felt like we were discovering a hidden side of the country.
The bikes were in top-notch condition, and we always felt safe riding on the roads, even when traffic picked up. Tung and his team were attentive, ensuring that we were comfortable and confident at all times.
As for accommodations, all the hotels were carefully selected, offering 4- and 5-star comfort. Each one was excellent, providing a restful end to each day's adventure.
All in all, this tour was an incredible way to experience Vietnam, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an active, immersive travel experience.

Th accommodations were good and the food great. Tung made effort to introduce us to local specialties.
The riding was great, lots of back roads and lanes, through orchards and villages, along waterways and ferry crossings.
There was flexibility in the itinerary to deal with wet weather. Although it is the wet season, this added to the charm.
