Ca Mau is very new to tourists. The province has been well-developed recently. It’s an opportunity travelers love to explore new places and meet locals who have seen Westerners on television only. We pedal across salt fields, shrimp farms, and thatch houses along the forest before we stop at Ganh Hao for lunch. This afternoon gives you a chance to experience daily activities where the waterway is the best choice for people living here.  Locals use small and long composite boats with long-tailed engines. Locals love to use these transport because they go fast and go on shallow water rivers and canals. It is because country back roads here are not suitable for vehicles. We take it easy and ride unique narrow routes alongside mangrove forest and irrigation systems, see farmers doing fishing on both rivers and canals. Many shelters along the country back roads are small for ducks, cows, buffaloes, and we could stop for the photo taken. We will end up our ride today in the outskirt of Ca Mau city and get on A/C van/bus for driving to Ca Mau city

Hello Tam,

I enjoyed the cycling tour very much. We had no issues with the bicycles, the gears changed smoothly, the brakes worked well and they seemed to be well aligned and maintained. Overall the bicycles were very comfortable and handled the paths and trails well.

We enjoyed the sights and foods of the Mekong delta. The first few days the scenery seemed quite repetitive if there is a way to provide a bit more variety and variation that may be more enjoyable. We did very much appreciate the flexibility of our tour and it was great to be able to do the morning cycling routes and after lunch transfer to the hotel and then Mr Dat would take us on a walking tour in the evening before dinner. That was a great way to experience more of the culture and we got to eat more street food. We very much like being able to eat like the locals. Our driver was very nice and helpful and we felt safe on the rides. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable, patient and happy to provide the flexibility to our tour. We did find the afternoon cycles a bit too hot for us as we are not used to the heat of the region. The mornings were fine and it was nice to be able to relax in the afternoons at the hotel.

Although we weren't able to do the homestay we appreciated the alteration to the tour and got to see the coastal area and even got to take a swim in the ocean. Another suggestion for when the homestay isn't available might be to have 2 nights in one stop and perhaps some other sort of cultural event, that might give cyclists an option to have a day off the bike and either do their own thing or have some other option of activity. But what we did was fine as well. We really like the food and Dat would try and find us new things to try throughout the tour. A food and cycling tour might be something to advertise this as or an idea for other tours as well.

I really don't have anything else to add that is negative. The tour was well organized and we will highly recommend your company for any of our friends or relatives who would like a cycling holiday in Vietnam. If we decide to have a holiday in Vietnam again in the future we will definitely consider trying another of your tours. 23 - 31 Mar 2023

Thanks
Sincerely,
Diane
