The worst thing about the tour was the lack of detail supplied before departure. A dated itinerary with the departure hotel name would have been a no brainer, most of the participants were unsure of whether the accomodation after the initial 6pm meeting was included. It was never explained that we would be sharing rooms in hotels,fair enough in homestays but a bit of a surprise for the hotel stays. Also the tipping part of the trip..the guide was asking for around $800 US from the group for tips, surely the hotels and drivers were getting paid ok? I've rarely seen tipping in Vietnam before. Its an American practice that is offensive to Australians. That's a lot of money in Vietnam. Our guide BB was excellent and read the group well, the mix of electric bikes ensured every one kept up,and apart from the last day the pace was brisk and entertaining. The last day was led by the mechanic at a very boring walking pace that no one appreciated. I would recommend the trip but would like to see the above points addressed for future groups.Show more

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us on your Cycle Vietnam trip, Greg. We are sorry to hear that your pre- trip experience was disappointing. All our trip information can be found in our Essential Trip Information available on our website, however, we don't share a hotel list due to possible changes. Regarding tipping, this information can also be found in our Essential Trip Information and it has been found that it is the easiest way to manage tips for tour leaders and drivers, so their services can be recognized and appreciated. We are pleased that your tour leader was excellent and you enjoyed your trip overall. We look forward to welcoming you on another Intrepid trip in the not so distant future.
