Hi Tin,
The bike trip was great. We had a good time in Sapa and they were able to modify the Sapa portion for my mom--we did some trekking instead of biking. We had some good weather and some bad for the bike trip itself. The driver did an excellent job on sometimes scary roads. The guide (Dao) was helpful and friendly. The route was beautiful and definitely worth the trip.
We do have a suggestion--we found the set meals that they ordered for us at first to be simply too much food. We don't eat much meat and felt bad about wasting so much food. (Later they let us order off the menu instead.) Perhaps we could just be given a set amount to spend as we needed on food and drink per meal or per day.
Other than this, I was very happy with the tour. Thank you for all your help.
Sincerely,
Karen Rayle

Hi! Thank you for the tour. Would like to say that we loved it. We would recommend the tour to our friends and would consider coming back for another one. I wish you had tours in our countries. Our tour guide was excellent. He was a gentleman, who was easy to talk to and really helped us understand the city. I have to say we would give Vietnam Bike Tours a 10 out of 10. Thanks.

Dear Vu
I just wanted to drop you a quick note saying that Jeannine & I had an incredible time in your fascinating country. Our very positive experience in no small part stems from the very professional way Vietnam Bike Tours handled our tour. Your organization of all the details was incredible, your choice of accomodations and restaurants was excellent and your staff of drivers and guides were courteous, very friendly, organized, and very informative. I especially would like to acknowlege "Swing" our second guide from Nha Trang. You really have a "gem" representing your company in "Swing". He did an extraordinary job. I would also like to thank you personally for your patience in answering all my questions so promptly and thoroughly. If any of our friends need some expert help in planning a trip to Vietnam I certainly will be sending your way. Again thank you for your help in making our trip to Vietnam such an amazing adventure.
Yours Sincerely
Blair & Jeannine Wick

Dear Anh,
We have just got back from our holiday and would like to thank you for a great day out on our cycling trip. It was one of the best days of our holiday. Hui and his driver did everything we could ask. They were on time and took us to some wonderful places. We met local people at a dragon fruit farm, boated across the Mekong and had a local meal at a river side restaurant. We also visited a coconut plantation and were priveleged to see and hear a local singing group perform some beautiful music. It really was a fantastic day. Even the drinks were supplied which was very welcome. I am sure many other people will enjoy the tours you arrange.
Once again many thanks to all concerned.

Dear Huy and Tin,
Forgive me for taking so long to write: I spent another week in Bangkok after finishing our bike ride, and then, after returning, made a work-related trip to San Francisco. I am only slowly settling down to my regular routines.
You should know that all three of us had a *fantastic* time during the bike ride. It really was one of the best trips we had taken. The organization of the trip was very good, and the people of Vietnam made it simply memorable. Plus, Trung and Boeun were just a great pair of tour guides. They worked very hard to make everything perfect!
I am likely to spend considerable amount of time in Singapore, starting later this year. It is not yet confirmed, but I am working on this plan. If the plan comes to fruition, then I'd like to take another trip with you: after all, Vietnam is very close to Singapore and I can easily come over for a few days.
Huy, on facebook (which I dont use very much), you'd apologized for the travelers checks. You shouldn't apologize at all. Every such incident makes us learn about Vietnam. Thanks to your not being able to cash these checks yourself, we spent a wonderful three hours in a small bank in some small town (whose name we have forgotten), where we learned about banking in Vietnam, and where we talked to the cashiers in the bank at length and learned about their lives!
Thanks both of you, and please pass on our appreciation to Trung and Boeun as well! (I've attached a picture of the three of us for your records!)

Dear Tin,
Thank you for arranging the trip. We had a good time there in Vietnam and Sinh did a wonderful job, he went out of his way to go to less travelled roads (not so many trucks) and brought us to scenic sideways to enjoy the trip all the way.
Our expectation was actually to ride a bid more on farm ways or off road away from all the honking and dust whirling trucks and buses. If not for Sinh's efforts to bring us to quieter places we would not have enjoyed the trip so much. Perhaps next time we shall try biking around Sapa.
All in all it was a nice experience and we will surely be back in Vietnam on of these days. Your staff is well trained and eager to make the travellers day a memorable one.
Best Regards from quiet Singapore (no honking) and merry Christmas

Just letting you know that Kevin Helt came in today and let me know that he had a fantastic time on the bike tour and his guide Sang was great.
Sang went above and beyond his duty with them and made the tour a great experience.
Thanks for your assistance with the booking and I will use again in the future.

Hello Tin,
We enjoyed an excellent bike trip along the central coast with your company and would recommend your tour group to anyone. Your employees were all first class and Viet Nam is a fabulous cultural experience. Your prices were also very reasonable. We have submitted a very good review to Trip Advisor. Thank you for your outstanding service.

Dear Tin,
Thank you for your email and I am sorry for my late reply.
We enjoyed our time in Dalat and like the scenery very much. Cycling on the first day was beautiful and easy - good warm up. However, for myself, the 2nd day was too hard because of a lot of steep hills + slippery from the rain. I normally like rough terrain but it's a bit too tiring for me.
I hope the guides would not be bored as I got off to drag my bike many times but at least I survived till the end.
Anyway, it was a fun trip and thank you for all your help.
Warm regards,
Pannida Sunananta

Hello,
My name is Andrew Edwards, and my friend and I have just returned from a tour with your company from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap. I wanted to thank you all for a fantastic holiday that was made even better by the way we were looked after by our guide, Trong Huy. Huy made our trip so special and interesting and we had a fun time with many laughs shared. Huy is a great guy and is a real asset to your company. His professionalism is outstanding and he went way beyond the call of duty to ensure that our tour was a success. Our driver Phuc, was also very helpful and always ensured that we had cold water and plenty to eat on our rest stops. The tour was great and we saw so much that we wouldn't have been able to see from a bus window! The people we met and sights we saw will be remembered always! Vietnam is a very beautiful country with the friendliest people in the world - we will be back, and we will be using vietnambiketours.com and Huy!
Thanks again, and best regards,
Andrew Edwards

Dear Mr. Tin :
I was very happy with the arrangements for my Mekong bike trip. Huy was a capable and friendly guide. The food was very good. The arrangements at the comfortable home stay were quite sufficiant and the hotel in Can Tho far exceeded my expectations.
Here is my one suggestion. On all of these organized trips, with your company and with most others I have used, there is at least one night where the dinner is taken at a restaurant frequented by Western tourists. On the Mekong trip it was at the Can Tho Market restaurant. It was full of tourists. I would prefer to go to a restaurant frequented by the local people. The food at the local people restaurant is always the best.
I am traveling to see local culture as it is lived by local people.
I would recommend your company to my friends.
Thank you for your inquiry.

Hello Kim Anh,
The biking tour through the Mekong Delta with Vietnambiketours was a real success! We are completely satisfied with your service. Mr Van, our guide, was a very motivated and professional guide. He knows very nice places and little paths where to bike, we had several stops to taste local fruit etc. I would highly recommend this tour to everybody going to Vietnam, it was one of my preferred tours in Vietnam (we did several little organised tours)! I could not tell you what to improve, it was really perfect.
Thanks again to your company and Mr Van,
Best regards,
