Joshua B – United Kingdom

My Tour guide was Lo, as part of Hong Hao tours, we had a group of 9 people and it was probably the best experience I have ever had abroad, as a group with all our guides we clicked so well being able to play music and games as well as take in the most amazing views I’ll ever come across. The roads can be scary for someone to ride as I had a license and did it myself whereas everyone in my group had an easy rider, I did unfortunately have an accident not fault of anyone in the group but how supportive they were and how it pulled us all together as a group of friends now was something you’d struggle to forget. The actual tour was not rushed and you had so much time to just enjoy every part of it, anyone going to Vietnam this trip is an absolute must. Thank you to Lo and his team and those who I was in a group with that made this trip of a lifetime.
