Great cycle tour
We had a very lovely day
cycling around the villages- we made lots of interesting
stops (school, temple, Buddha statue, local hat making,
local rug making, rice paper factory)... The cycle was
sporty but very manageable and the bikes were very
lovely. Pham was a great tour guide and knew a lot about
nha trang and the surrounding villages. The lunch was
also absolutely delicious! Would recommend!
Countryside Cycling great day with Dung Pham
Fantastic day spent cycling
on well equipped BMX Hybrid bikes (suitable for terrain)
with Dung Pham. While it is flat a reasonable level of
fitness is required. Dung knows the place like the back
of his hand, very attentive to requests and questions on
local living and history. Excellent program included
visits to the local orphanage that is growing with
funding and teacher assistance, mat making, rice paper
making, conical hat making, big Buddha statue and a
memorable mud and mineral bath. Lunch is provided at a
river restaurant with commanding views of the
countryside and great Vietnamese food (including
seafood). Would highly recommend for couples or larger
groups of up to 5-6 people
“Great day on the bikes”
Took the bike ride into the country out of Nha Trang
with Pham in the lead. We had a great day - visiting the
local sights and 'industry' (hat making, rice paper
manufacture, ...). Plenty of stops for refreshments. And
a highlight was the lunch spot by the river, just before
we rode back into town - one of those places that you
need a local to find (given we were the only
non-Vietnamese people at the restaurant).
The ride is a little challenging - around 35 km, but
pretty flat (only the one real hill leading up to the
Buddha). Cycling and navigating thru the Nha Trang
traffic was interesting, but we never felt in any real
danger.
A great day, and it was great to spend the day with Pham
(and enjoy the hospitality of Pham and his wife in their
home after we'd finished the ride). Thanks for a great
day.
