Subject: Offroad Vietnam Motorcycle Tour

Hi,

Towards the end of last year myself and my girlfriend undertook a 7 day North-West Vietnam motorcycle tour (~1,100 km) with Offroad Vietnam as part of our holiday in South East Asia. It was definitely the highlight of our 3 week trip, and will be a trip that we will always remember.

It was basically the local knowledge of the guides that made the trip, as well as their obvious care and passion for their country's people. Giving books and pens to poor children and meeting people from different cultures was very rewarding. It was also great to see the effort that they are putting in to give back and help out the struggling communities. And of course riding a motorcycle through some of the most amazing and beautiful scenery also helped. What they're doing is fantastic, and I hope that they keep up the good work.

Regards,

Rupert Walker.
