thoughtfully

I design all of own itineraries, carefully and hard work for each new route. I constantly review my tours to ensure that we offer the best of my experience for cycle. My cycling tour is one of very few cycle tour in Vietnam. If you search in the Internet you will see my itineraries, store, photos appear on some other Vietnamese websites.

 I have been working with some oversea cycling tour in USA, Australia, Europe... But I don’t agreement for Vietnamese travel agent resell my itineraries and bike component, cloth, accessories, bike part, bike hire... That mean they stolen my photos and information. Imitate and steal ideal are a part of life in Vietnam but please be careful with this.

Thank

Joe
