“…Exceptional from start to finish. We could drive scooters but Ms Quynh Nguyen – our travel agent insisted that it will be better if we have private drivers. Turned out she was right, the four guys who drove us were extremely friendly and funny, stopping off at various local spots and places. You can, if up to the challenge, ride the bikes yourselves, but we decided to ride on the back of them. The benefit of this though is you can soak up the expansive views on offer as you wind up and down the mountains. 100 percent a must do…”
