Fietsen Saigon - Hoi An

We took a somewhat short notice two-week trip and had to come and go on specific dates. We were able to book a custom tour and it went pretty much perfectly. We went form Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) To Hanoi via bicycle Van and train. We travelled by bike train and van. Because it was just the two of us, we were even able to even make small changes to the schedule along the way. Tung, the owner of Vietnam Bicycle Travel was the van driver and Saran was our bike guide. This was a really posh situation for us, but we loved it. We had a sag wagon too something i haven't used before, but it was nice reassurance as i was not in the best of bike shape after months of bad weather at home. We hope to go back with a group of friends in a few years and book another custom tour to a different part of Vietnam.

We decided somewhat last-minute to take this cycling trip in Vietnam. We booked too late to join a group for a pre-scheduled time period but Tung was able to accommodate our schedule for a private/custom guided tour, with Tung as driver, Sarane as bicycle guide, my husband and me. Everything about our experience was top-notch. Tung's English is excellent so communication was never a problem. He booked us into excellent hotels in perfect locations. Sarane was a great guide, always ready with thorough explanations about customs, culture, history food, geography; and was great at accommodating our cycling pace. They were always punctual and very well organized; he was really on top of all the details. The bikes were high-quality Specialized mountain bikes in excellent condition, very well-maintained. There were no schedule problems or hiccups. Everything went smoothly. The entire trip was very relaxed, social and enjoyable. We also learned that our trip with Vietnam Bicycle Travel cost less than half of what larger, US-based companies are charging for large groups. Tung's company is a bargain and well worth every penny!
