We found the guide (Hai) to be excellent. Even when the trip took a downturn due to illness, he appeared to be trying hard to make it enjoyable for us.
The drivers were also all very good, and we especially enjoyed the first driver (phuk?) who was very attentive.
The routes were enjoyable and had quite a bit of variation in them.
Our guide altered the route when road construction made an alternate route more appealing.

An excellent, well-chosen itinerary; I loved the variety and the fact that we didn't ride on major roads. I loved the 30 km and 13 km downhills and we certainly had some spectacular views. My husband and I had already traveled in Vietnam by bus from north to south and it was so much more interesting to visit many places by bicycle.
I think our group really appreciated being the only ones on the boat on Halong Bay. That made it possible for us to really relax and not worry about our belongings. That was really terrific.
Lastly, I'd like to say again how excellent Hai, our guide, was. He really helped make our trip an unforgettable experience and did his best to help us all when we were sick.

The trip as a whole was very enjoyable. The organization and transport was excellent. It was a great way to see the country. Thanks very much for a good travel experience.

The itinerary was very accurate and the routes were very enjoyable. We enjoy biking and visiting a country from a bike seat. Some days were long and some short but the experience was very good. We don't bike fast but we bike long days, which is perfect for the road conditions in Viet Nam.
The hotels were very nice. Everything ran very smoothly. Our itinerary dictates very limited time at the hotels and they were clean, efficient places to stay and get cleaned up for anther day.
Hung is a very gifted leader. We gained more respect for his abilities every day. He dealt with every issue with great positive energy and quick smile. Hung's communication skills are very good and he taught us a great deal about Vietnamese culture and history all while serving us watermelon snacks and loading and unloading our bikes and gear...he did it all.
We are very happy with our decision to use Spice Roads.

We loved the trip. We consider this one of the best trips we have taken. Our group size 7, was perfect and we have a new appreciation for the people and country of Viet Nam. We hope to do another trip with SpiceRoads and we will definitely recommend SpiceRoads to our friends.

Tuan was an excellent ambassador for both your company and country. He dealt with all aspect of the tour in a most professional manner never appearing out of his depth.

Enjoyed, the people, food and drinks. The riding and professional attitude of the tour leaders, the careful organising every day and attention to detail. Fantastic!

The route was well planned to take in a variety of scenery and to see different aspects of living in Vietnam, also gave a very good insight to the country.
