My family and I have had the pleasure of doing several tours with Mr. Biker Saigon. Thai and his crew are THE BEST -- they are experienced, organized, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the routes and local communities. One of our trips involved a group of 14 riders with different abilities. Each day during the four-day tour, Thai and his team provided us with several options to make sure everyone felt comfortable and also challenged. We lived in Vietnam for three years and these bike tours with Mr. Biker Saigon were the highlights of our stay in this beautiful country.

First encountered Thai and team (aka Mr Biker) on same charity tour as Horacio (see review). Then the Mai Chau - Pu Luong - Ninh Binh one. Each time Thai and his expert team of experienced riders (Thai, An, Trong and co.) and professional support team have made the tour experience effortless, even if the riding has been challenging - just the way it should be. That's why I can't wait to ride with them again - next stop, I hope, Ha Giang loop.

While living in Saigon I went on a large number of Mr Biker tours; as many as I could really. The organisation was always efficient, the team couldn't be more friendly, and the choice of routes was breathtaking every time. Mr Biker showed me the absolute best of Vietnam and that's saying a lot because it's a stunning country. Mr Biker trips were the highlight of my four years in Vietnam. Would recommend to anyone.
