TESTIMONIALS
16 Unforgettable Days - Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) - Hanoi
- "Thank you so much to Vietnam Bike Tours for making this an unforgettable experience for my wife, my daughters, their boyfriends and me. On bikes you really get the opportunity to feel, smell, taste and hear the country.
Both before and during our holiday the planning and communication from Ly at Vietnam Bike Tours was excellent. This has been an important factor for us to allow us to fully relax and enjoy.
The cycle-guides (Tien from Ho Chi Minh to Hue and Zang in Hanoi) were world-class. There were happy, caring, informative, flexible and pleasant. On the first 11 days of our trip we were followed and supported by a very service-oriented and safe driver, Ngia. All meals were selected to allow us to taste as much of Vietnam as possible - and always tasty and well-prepared - both is street kitchens and high-end restaurants. One highlight was a lunch at Tien's parents home.
We can warmly recommend Vietnam Bike Tours and hope to be back in Vietnam soon."
