Great ride, best of the big brand bicycles, knowledge of the area. Joe is in the business for over 15 years and all expectations where easily exceeded. English speaking made it very informative about the surrounding nature that was realy astonishing beautiful. All senses were served and I felt sorry the day went by that fast. Certainly not the last time to go with Joe. Just go there, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Joe, see you soon some time 🚲👍

Perfect and enlightening trip!
My first (definitely not my last) trip with Joe --- A+ guide, excellent English, encouraged my fellow rider and I take things at our own pace, customized our journey as we requested. Took us to beautiful trails that would have been impossible to find otherwise. Great trip! Highly recommend!

Big Day Out with a Tigers & Cougars
Ok so no tigers or cougars but our guides nickname was Tiger and he was good fun! We couldn't pronounce our drivers name so called him "Cougar" who we trusted implicitly as he weaved the minivan around the chaos of Vietnam traffic. We had a really remote experience in the hill tribes in the Sapa region. The accommodation was really good and the food was good - noodles isn't my ideal start to a big day out so Tiger was very flexible and took us to another local eatery who made Vietnamese style pancakes which pretty much was a large round pancake shaped noodle- very clever cos it worked for my headspace. He then took us to the best coffee shop and there are many!! The coffee in Vietnam is sooo goood - rich, dark and choclatey.

Wonderful bespoke 4 day ride in North Vietnam
With only a 7 day window to organise our first trip to Vietnam for my 18yo son and I, Joe at Marco Polo travel was able to help us arrange a magnificent riding experience through the mountains of the Da and Red rivers, west of Hanoi. Thankyou very much to Hieu and Mr Goh, our wonderful and knowledgeable guide and support van driver (a retired engineer enjoying being out in the countryside!). They were always making sure we had what we needed and worked tirelessly to ensure our happiness and complete satisfaction.
We had a great ride with just the right amount of time on the bikes allowing us to experience the wonderful local cultures. Visiting the Bai Dinh temples and Pagoda was off our original schedule but was one of the highlights that Hieu added to our trip on "the run" . These temples are set 1klm in length up the hillside, with 500+ Buddha statues a "must see" and largely off the tourist map. The MTB bikes were fantastic too: Cannondale Scalpals with XTR groupset and Rock Shox adjustable suspension. I will be back and I couldn't recommend Joe and his company highly enough to arrange the next tour! (If you are trying to decide to ride from saigon or hanoi, the North enjoys the spectacular limestone foothills and jungle mountains which provide wonderful views and is generally cooler. The van was right behind us (or in the vicinity when we were offroad) if we needed more water, gels or simply a "lift" or a "sticky bidon". We were met in each village by welcoming families, often with fellow "bike riders" joining us with beaming smiles and greetings of "hello").

A meaningful day
We were introduced to the hotel one day tours around Hanoi and finally chose one day biking. What we are most worried about is the traffic in Hanoi, it's very bad. Mixed traffic and dangerous. We were very fortunate to be guided navigation and safety to us. We have so many places to visit in Hanoi for 1 day, enjoy a variety of Vietnam's dishes. We like the most is to be eaten PHO and beer in the old quarter. Thanks for the company and guide named Tom.

Definitely worth it
We love the trip to Hoa Binh. It was a really beautiful and peaceful province. Biking helped us to better observe the daily life of the people there. Hope to visit Hoa Binh again someday. Thanks a lot Vietnambiking tour.

Excellent bike tour
We had a great bike tour from Hanoi. The website has recommended trips. I emailed our own wishes and they customized a trip for us. Countryside morning tour was great. Tour guide were so friendly and knowledgeable, the guide spoke great English. We stopped to visit homes of local people and learned about their lives and their trades. It was great to get off the beaten track and learn about the Vietnamese people. The tour guides were fantastic. This is HIGHLY recommended

Ready to see the real Vietnam?
We did a 7 day trip from Hanoi up into the then mountains and valleys of Northern Vietnam on the 100cc bikes. Each hour, of each day, became more beautiful and jaw dropping. I would think to myself, "How can this get more beautiful?" then within the next hour we would drive into another magical landscape. The people and families we met and stayed with were just as amazing. It would be hard to describe all of my adventures with Joe, but in a few words: lakes, mountains, rice wine, national parks, drinking rice wine in national parks until one blacks out, waterfalls, jumping off waterfalls, sleeping beside waterfalls. What an amazing trip!

Real Vietnam
We went to Hanoi and had the motor bike tour booked with Marco Polo Travel. I didn't expect that I was going on a tour that was going to be the 12 days of any holiday in vietnam. It was a different world, the scenery, food, people, traditions, culture was all amazing and I believe the only fault was the end of the trip. The Guide is a great guy, shows you stuff that normal guides don't, he was very patient with us, we were all learner drivers and understood what we were capable of.
