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
