Tour Guides & Drivers
Our tour guides & driver support team are the best!  We frequently receiving amazing feedback.  They are locals and it's important we use local teams as part of our commitment to giving back to the areas we travel in.  Guides are trained and certified, have very good English and know the area and history very well. 

It is worth noting, due to tourism regulations, we are required to change your guide and driver team when crossing into Cambodia.  This can be a little unsettling if you have made a connection with the team, but it is a positive in that it ensures we use local teams and both the Vietnam and Cambodia guides and drivers are equally amazing. 

Airport Transfers
Airport transfers are included and are very handy in these busy Asian cities, but we do need to limit these to the start date and end dates of each cycling tour.
