When we got more confident we sampled the local 'bia hois' where a glass of beer is available for less than 10p!

Also recommended is Highway4 restaurant where we were either ultra-confident or drunk on their rice wine and tucked into local scorpions, bugs, ostrich and crocodile!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14806 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14461
I have made three such journeys (I'm 61 years old) and look forward to yet another tour with this group.

While on the surface it appears to be a bit pricey, when you consider that the tour is all-inclusive it makes really good sense.

The guides are all extremely well acquainted with the country and its people. You will see a Vietnam seldom experienced by the routine traveller. The food, rooms, equipment and companionship are incredible.

Trips ranges from just a couple of days to 21 days depending on where you want to go. The northern part of the country should not be missed.

From easy riding to the adventuresome rough roads, there is something for all levels of riders (my wife journeyed down the Ho Chi Minh Trail with me last year).

It's a trip you will remember the rest of your life.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14461
