The itinerary, guide and most of the hotels were superb.
The cycling, the food, the additional activities - especially Whale Island and Halong Bay. Cycling around the cemetry was very memorable.
Linh was excellent. He was extremely thorough and offered support, suggestions, information, entertainment and organisation throughout the fortnight.
All round excellent holiday
The Exodus team accompanying us on the tour where first class. Great organisation, friendly, very helpful and great fun to be with
Such a pleasant guy, good fun, excellent local knowledge and superb planning skills
Enjoyed everything. Our guide Lok was amazing everything was so well organised. We were able to see and experience so much
The long rides and Whale island
Loc was the best leader, he could not do enough for you and had so much knowledge and was helpful in every way
First and foremost the success of this cycling holiday was down to the Leader LAM NGUYEN and his support , the back marker doubling up as mechanic and the bus support driver . We were without doubt in safe hands .
We were kept fully informed as to what was happening during the day and the following day . Lam gave us written details each day in the format “Daily Ride Plans”
This was so useful as there was a lot to take in , could refer to these when saving our ride on Strava and even now , a month after , I use when describing our holiday to friends.
The hotels were all of a good and high standard
The trip notes were very thorough giving lots of information
The daily rides were planned well visiting many interesting places , giving us a good appreciation of the areas we were cycling and the distances cycled were good and achievable
The bike that I had was good , just right for the roads we were travelling on ( I normally use a road bike but the mountain bike worked well)
The stops during the ride were well thought out and worked well
The snacks that were provided during the ride were excellent and plentiful
During the rides Lam , the tour leader , stopped where necessary to give us more information at the right locations
Also , importantly , many happy bushes were found !!!
All in all a fantastic holiday in a fantastic Country
Four really …. Ha Long Bay - An amazing and beautiful place with the limestone peaks. We were fortunate that the weather for both days was beautiful and blue skies and calm seas . We were able to see this in all its glory and also to Kayak in the waters The Cu Chi Tunnels- again an amazing place and experience and to hear the stories Boat cruise from Whale Island and snorkelling and swimming in the beautiful clear seas Finally , inspired by all the Vietnamese people in Ho Chi Minh City on scooters. It was amazing !!! . I never tired of watching the people on the scooters. Many carrying all description of things and / or with two or three passengers , including children !!!! An amazing sight . No picture adequately show how it truly is !!!
The Group Leader , LAM NGUYEN , was excellent He led the group really well . He got to know all the members of the group quickly and helped everyone when necessary His instructions for the days were clear and it was good when they backed up with the Daily Ride Plans . He described the routes , during the days , clearly paying particular attention to safety when necessary…. “No Dominos” being his description and perfectly described what he didn’t want to happen. There were no accidents throughout the trip …. when you consider there was 17 in the group this shows he ran it perfectly His knowledge of Vietnam of the places we cycled and visited and of the history was very extensive . This made for the trip to Vietnam to be really interesting and memorable. Yes … Lam was an excellent Group Leader , and as said ably supported by the mechanic and bus support driver
Go for it !!!! Do not be put off by the trip notes where reference is made to the times spent on the bus . Whilst it can be a few hours there is always plenty to see thereby giving you a full appreciation of Vietnam
The cycle trip was a great experience with a fantastic tour leader and great like minded people
There were many highlights on this trip including Our leader and support crew, the homestead lunches with Vietnamese families, Whale Island, Halong Bay boat, Hoi an, passing through Vietnamese villages.
Tung went above and beyond in all aspects of managing our trip so we got the best enjoyment from the experience. He also led his team with mutual respect. He is an asset any company would want in their values and culture
We loved the varied places we visited and the travelling between them. Our leader, Loc was fantastic and we learned so much about the country, its agriculture, history, people and their way of life. The bikes provided were of a high standard and our mechanic, Y kept them clean and running perfectly. Our drivers Cen and Nien were waiting so often with delicious fresh lemonade and fruit. The enforced changes to our itinerary were communicated and handled well. We could appreciate how much work was going on in the background to make sure we had a great experience even though our original plan wasn’t possible.
Cycling through the countryside and small villages. Seeing so many happy smiling faces as we rode by. Climbing the Hai Van pass. Visiting Ha Long Bay.
Cannot praise Loc highly enough. His enthusiasm was infectious and he kept us so well informed and entertained along the way. He helped the group gel together and gave great recommendations for places to eat when we had to feed ourselves. He is a credit to your business
Tri Nyugen our leader and his support team were the best we’ve encountered – he found interesting routes to cycle, places to visit and eat as a group – the hotels were good quality and we had 2 massages in hotels that were excellent- had laundry done by local contacts for very low price and experienced local people harvesting dragon fruit in the fields- we stopped and sampled the fruit/ interacted with the local people. Tri was spontaneous, thoughtful and even gave us all ides of what to do in Hanoi after he left for those extending their stays – he just kept giving of himself. One older lady had an injury, he took her to hospital for stitches and back again to get her stitches out. He made himself available 24/7. The roads were busy at times but the team kept everyone safe even standing in the middle of crossroads and roundabouts to get us safely across- it was very well orchestrated . We went on our own organised day trip with another tour operator after the holiday had ended with Tri and found the coach less comfortable, driver less safe, the guide less able to adapt to people’s needs / less caring and the content was more for mass tourism and less enjoyable. It was a stark contrast to the experience we had had with Exudus. We were with new Exodus clients and those who had tied many holidays- all said the same how good you are. This is our 5th holiday with you, walking and cycling.
The children along the way waving to us, riding their mopeds alongside us- excited to see us. The excellent hotels in places with roof top bars and massages, the quiet cycling on back roads seeing dragon flies and butterflies in abundance, the chartered boat on Hulong bay with sea kite birds diving int the water.
He was the best we have experienced and his team- made the holiday for us - a real treasure
From the first moment I decided to book the trip, the entire experience has been amazing. Everyone I have spoken to, asked advice from, made hotel bookings, everything has been taken care of professionally and in a very friendly manner. The trip itself must involve many people and a lot of organisation. I appreciated the effort that must have gone into that. All the staff involved on the ground; drivers, mechanics, your leader were nothing short of amazing. The itinerary, the hotels, food, every aspect of the trip went easy above and beyond. Tien and the rest of the team worked so hard to make sure we didn’t have to. I’m already looking forward to my next exodus adventure in February. Thanks to everyone involved in making the experience unforgettable.
Every single second, from start to finish. The riding, the island stay, the boat trip, the amazing team behind it all. It's so hard to single anything out
He was just amazing. He was one of a team who were all amazing??
This was my first Exodus cycle tour and an amazing way to get a real feel for Vietnam – I absolutely loved it. We did it as a family with our 19 and 21 yr old daughters and it was a huge success all round. From the first meet we felt super looked after by our amazing guide Lok, drivers Sau and Nhan and the mechanic Zee who was so often supporting me at the back of the group! Everything about the tour was very well organized and so good that 2 of the group were on their 3rd and 4th times respectively.
Probably completing the Hi Van Pass climb in really challenging heat, and then again the 30km decent a few days before was pretty inspiring
Our group leader Lok worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly and couldn't have been a nicer guy, as well as being very professional and informative .
Try and spend a couple of days in Ho Chi Mihn city before the start and in Hanoi at the end - both really interesting cities and Choose this tour it's a cracker!
We cycled from Ho Chi Min to Hoian. It was an incredible adventure
Completing the Hi Van Pass on a cycle.
Loc Pham was knowledgeable and patient. He was well organised and made us all feel looked after.
Non really, it was so well organised. If I did it again I would probably arrive the day before it started.
