We had an amazing time on this tour, and it more than beat our expectations. The support vehicle allowed us to avoid the "less than ideal" roads to cycle on and allowed us to spend our time enjoying the nicer more interesting routes. We rode through beautiful Rice fields and villages, along the river, through rural areas. There were lots of additional activities included such as the floating market and floating village, plus a few additional things we weren't expecting. Ngan/Mr Leo was an excellent guide, and was one of the best we have had on any tour. He was knowledgable, communicative, approachable and led the cycling at a pace that suited us well. He even invited us to his home and introudced us to his family for dinner. He is a great asset to the company, and we feel very fortunate to have had him as our guide. It is worth noting that this tour was advertised as being with e-bikes. However, standard mountain bikes were provided (Trek Marlin 5). This was not an issue for us, as the area is very flat, and we are used to cycling 50-60km a day. However, those who are relying on e-bikes should confirm that these will be provided. Additionally, although mountain bikes are appropriate for the rough and bumpy terrain found on parts of this tour, It might be worth the company replacing the mountain bike seats with more comfortable touring seats. Mountain bike seats are not designed to be sat on for 50km at a time, and even with the gel covers provided, they were painfully uncomfortable by the third day. The only critical feedback we would give is that the hotels are quite high end, and a budget accommodation choice would have been appreciated as a reduced cost option. Also, more importantly, we felt the bikes could do with receiving a little more maintenance, particularly given this is a 5 day tour. On one of the bikes we had, the brakes barely worked and had to be pulled very hard to slow down, and they made a very loud noise when applied. This is not really ideal for a 5 day tour, and could have been very dangerous. On the other one, the handlebar grips were perished and breaking away into rubber flakes and caused blisters on the hands and needed gloves to be worn (although it was too hot for them really). Overall the trip was one of the best trips we have taken part in and one of the best experiences we have had whilst travelling (over 80 countries). We wouldn't hesitate to reccommend it to anyone (and already have).

Our guide Mai Thieu was fabulous and meant we had a great time and saw parts of Hoi A that we would not have accessed on our own. He was the perfect guide and happy to match the riding to our needs. Couldn’t recommend him and the whole tour more highly. Fantastic way to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!

Lee were both excellent. We learned a lot about Vietnam, which was very interesting- history and culture.

I went on Mr Biker's Central coast tour with my brother last year and we both had a great experience. Our guide Trong was really friendly and knowledgeable and totally fluent in english. The locations we rode to were memorable and authentic, and the food was delicious. Were both experienced riders and the route had a good balance of tough terrain and long flats that we could just cruise along while enjoying the incredible scenery. The tour made me fall in love with Vietnam so much that I've been living here over a year now and have gone on a few Mr Biker tours during that time.

We had a small group of 3 plus a guide from Hanoi to Saigon. Mr Dong and the DNQ Travel company are very professional so have no fear of the trip not being well organised or fraud. Their communication with customers is also very prompt. Our guide was excellent, breakdowns like flat tyres or clutch cable breaks - he managed. The bikes were Honda CRF 250cc and were fantastic over any terrain. We biked through 2 typhoons and other wet weather - well one was mostly on a re8st day!

All pretty good really. A couple of easy points though: Our guide was absolutely terrific but (so blame whatever on him please) we didnt have any chance to look closely into any active religious events, spaces, ceremonies, or temples, an important part of the country's culture. There were several rather too similar visits to ex-palace museums and mausoleums, so I think one or two of these could be substituted by something interesting or ceremonial in different current local religious practices/venues. The 'snorkel event' needs further thought. Nice day out on the boat, sure, but the sea bed in the snorkel site is nothing to write home about and the water isnt too clean. There are health and safety issues too as the vessel was anchored some distance from the snorkel site and the weather was a little breezy and choppy. Given that most of the group I was with were 'senior citizens', I found it odd that there was no safety swimmer standing by and no obvious recovery line/float system.

Go now before Vietnam changes. It was an epic tour into small towns and villages where people stopped to stare at us, ask to have photos taken with us,and where children ran to the road to wave and shout hello. The scenery is beyond description. The towns are changing rapidly as the Ho Chi Minh Highway brings the desired economic development to this region of Vietnam. In a few years it will be impossible to repeat this experience.

This was our first trip with Explore - and indeed our first Group trip. Everything was amazing. The amount of cycling was perfect, rest stops, support teams, photo opportunities, planning.....everything. A group of four people is a little 'intense' however on the whole we navigated the relationships well within the group. One of the highlights for us was Binh himself. He was such an amazing Guide/Tour Leader - words don't really convey how important he was to our enjoyment of the experience. For us, his personal stories made Vietnam's history come alive, and yet he took care to convey many perspectives on the recent history of the country and people. We were able to meet his parents and visit his home which was really a very special moment. Binh is a real asset to Explore. He is articulate, skilled, very caring and respectful - to the people of Vietnam, to the tour participants and support teams, and to the organisation Explore. With development and growth opportunities he could go very far as a mentor and leader in the company and in the tour industry.

Having been to Vietnam before, we booked this tour as a new way of experiencing this wonderful country. It did not disappoint. With Tung's expert guidance we explored the highlands and central coast, mostly using little-travelled backroads that took us through grand scenery and busy villages, through rice fields, across passes and along countless shrimp farms and monuments to ancestors. We cycled a total of 500km in the 10 biking days, but the daily amount is flexible as the van accompanying us would enable a shortening (or extending) of daily distances. Taking our food preferences into account we were guided to local eateries and street food vendors where we experienced the best local dishes. Accomodations were excellent and the fact that we had nothing to worry about at all during the whole trip made this tour absolutely the best way to visit Vietnam. I wholeheartedly recommend their tour to anyone who is keen on some active exploration of Vietnam and hope to be able to return myself to do some more exploring with them!
