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

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

This is long cycling tour in Mountain of North West is undoubtedly the best place to cycle in the country. The roads see virtually no tourists and avoid Vietnam's notorious highways. The landscape is stunning, amazing karstic rock formations, stilted houses with thatched roofs, mountains nestled between limestone outcrops and the highest concentration of hill-tribe people in the country.

We pass through villages of H'mong, Tay, Dao and Xa Pho. Vietnam has the richest and most complex ethnic make-up in the whole of south east Asia. These minorities, whose markets and festivals add such color and character to the areas we cycle through.
