Itinerary: Motorbike Ho Chi Minh Trail, Vietnam
Date: January 16 - January 30, 2010
Nationality: American & United Kingdom
The 4 USA and one British biker want to say what a great trip we had with Active Asia on our 1,857KM motorbike ride from Hanoi to Nha Trang. The trip was excellent, we saw unique things, met friendly people and it was the best experience anyone had ever had. What a great way to see the country of Vietnam and learn its history.
We want to especially thank the travel coordinator Sunny who helped us make the whole arrangements, and especially thank Kenny, Luc and Quyen our guide, drive and mechanic for the trip. We became great friends during our travels for 10 days and really enjoyed their company.
As far as the trip itself we had great bikes and problem free. They were the Honda 250's and ran great. The overnight stays were all fine, we lived rural and it was great fun roughing it. Only one hotel probably needs to be dropped from the list and that was the one in Tan Ky. But other than that all was fine on the accommodation and food side.
Feel free to check out our web site which we created for the trip which has many pix and videos. It is peterb.yolasite.com
Thanks to Active Asia for a great trip!

Paolo Bencivenga | Sapa | Vietnam
Itinerary: Biking Sapa
Date: October 01 – October 05, 2009
Nationality: Italian
Hello Sunny,
I am back in Macau and back to work. I had a very good time in Vietnam and enjoyed my time with Hung the guide and Nam the driver. Please send me updates of the trips that you organise, if I can, I would like to come back and do something similar. Hung also told me about the chance to go trekking on the mountain (I think it's called Fansipan). Please let me also have Hung's email because I want to send him some of the pictures that I made.
Thank you again and good bye,
Paolo

We thoroughly enjoyed the trek, it was even more amazing than we had hoped for! Our guide Thanh was exceptional, he had great knowledge of the region and took us on routes which many others do not see. The trek stretched us but it was wonderful experience. We really love Sapa and the surrounding area!
