An excellent fortnight exploring Vietnam by foot and bike.
The cycling was relatively easy and relaxed (even the chaotic bits in the cities) and Binh our guide was very safety aware and led our routes well taking time to stop and explain the views and attractions along the way.
The hotels were mostly good (one was a bit lower standard but even that was fine) and the food available varied and tasty.
The itinerary was varied and covered all the key features and was flexible enough to accommodate the wishes of the group.
The included food lunches or dinners were all excellent.
We did the optional extras and the cookery class in Han Oi was superb.
We had 2 weeks of splendid weather - one day of rain which meant that the itinerary that day was changed to a walk from a ride - we would have preferred to have cycled but safety awareness prevented this.
Some small tweaks to the itinerary could improve things for us but overall the itinerary was both well planned and varied.
We were a small group and we had an excellent time with our fellow travellers and Binh.

This is a fantastic tour which covers many food experiences as well as culture, history and scenic areas. It is a packed itinerary, but very well organised. The food experiences ranged from street food tours, cooking and food prep, meals with local families, banquet, organic farm visit, markets, local delicacies demos etc - were all highly enjoyable. The tour guide, Bac, was outstanding and worked tirelessly to ensure the trip went perfectly. We had quite a lot of rain between Hanoi to Hoi An - during December - so bring quick drying gear if you have. If you have time, I'd recommend you turn up 1 or 2 days earlier in Hanoi, to allow some relaxing time to enjoy this city before the start of the tour, as the tour only spends 1 night in the hotel there. I would highly recommend this tour - especially if you like to combine sight-seeing with enjoying and learning about the fantastic culinary aspects of this country.

This trip was once in a lifetime, we really felt like we saw a lot of Thailand. There was a lot of variety; city, history culture, waterfalls, rivers, railways, caves, wildlife and beaches. I would recommend staying an extra night before in Bangkok there is so much to do, we did a hidden Bangkok bike tour as well as the grand palace and wot pho, river cruise etc. The excursion to cheow lake is great, saw bats in cave, jungle walk, and scenery is beautiful. I would also recommend staying an extra night in Krabi so that you have time to do the 4 island boat tours. We extended out tour by going to Koh Yao Noi where we saw oriental pied hornbills for 4 nights, a perfected to a brilliant trip.

Japan in a week was incredible! The tour and the people were a blast and created memories ill cherish for the rest of my life! Tokyo and Kyoto were amazing, the Nara Deer park add on is well worth the money and day!
