    What a great trip, really got the essence of Vietnam. A bike trip allows you to take in the sounds, smells, energy and culture of this country. The people on the tour with me were outstanding. Had an awesome time. Loc, the guide along with the team made the journey a dream and could tell they were proud of their country
