I had Sai for this adventure and he was the best tour guide I could have asked for!
The cycling was very leisurely and started in the city - visiting a huge local market and trying one of his childhood favourite treats. Then we visited the countryside, where I saw his home, rice paddy and lotus fields, and how rice wine is created! Sai was super informative and his (mostly self-taught!) English was very good. But he was also a truly inspiring character, teaching children after work so they get better opportunities in life. I felt truly blessed to have had him and, as a solo female traveller, I felt in very safe hands.
