    Our guide,Shu,, was excellent. He went above and beyond to help us. It was a really great experience. The only thing that wasn’t so good was that the first hotel we stayed at was in a poor area and appeared to be in the red light area. Our stay in the country was excellent and the people who let us into their home were excellent.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Just needed more hill climbing training. Being on the older side of things I would have been better off using an e bike but find they are too bulky. I preferred the lighter non electric bikes for maneuvering.
