Rider Reviews
Tell the guide whether you want a difficult or easy route. If you choose a difficult route it probably is not for beginner . Easy route will be more of highway into and out of the rural are. View in the mountain is excellent. Beware of thousands of curves you are going to enjoy. Hotel in first day (in Phu Yen) was not clean as expected. Water dripping sound in toilet. Hostel in second day was excellent, you will stay in a bamboo made house in a village in Mai Chau. Many farms and traditional shops around. All food are traditional Vietnam food. The guide is very enthusiastic. He will take you many photos and introduce his friends on the way.
