Rider Reviews
• King had an extra guide come along to help with an inexperienced rider. This guide was extremely patient and accommodating. • King is easy going and smiles easily. • Tour route took us through some beautiful regions of the central Vietnam, small village roads where possible.... amazing. Saw many things I'd never seen before (and I travel quite a bit.) • Good variety of road terrain and rickety bridges. • My husband really liked the off-roading excursion.
