Fantastic and unique. Seeing and experiencing the dramatic changes in language, food, culture and environment as you sweep up through the clouds and down over land boarders was amazing. Being on bikes in this part of he world seems natural, even if the lacals treated us as celebrities or family or both!! I got to drink rice wine and beers with a Sharman in Laos and mixed it with the trendy travelers and locals in Vietnam.

Each different country was accompanied by a local guide and support crew, bringing with them their own unique flair and incites. I was looking for a taste of everything in this slice of Asia and was definitely not disappointed.

The redspokes inaugural 4 countries tour appealed to me as it was my 10th year cycling anniversary cycling through 4 distant lands, combining adventure and mystique. For me it was my third redspokes tour. I find the tours good value for money and go on the road less traveled by the other big travel companies. so different This tour gives a taste of it all..from cycling in the high country and magical scenery with cyclist from far afield that soon become friends..to super downhills, and snacks enjoyed in the shade.

The tour has hills, and more hills, but it also has long stretches of flat passing though remote villages where people's lives can be seen and experienced, cooking, working, and even rice wine distillation in the back shed. The tour is relaxed, but the attention to detail behind the scenes on this tour makes it all work like clockwork, just turn up, cycle, and have a fabulous time - "I would like to say a big thank you to Dermot, who was the glue that held this tour together, a person who irons out many wee bumps so we can just enjoy the cycling.

Despite the difficulties to smoothly go through 3 borders crossing I have enjoyed being part of this inaugural tour for various reasons:

- the beauty and diversity of the regions visited 
- the warm welcome of local populations
- the true as close as possible contact with a village inhabitants in Laos
- the challenge represented by such demanding roads on the 1.400 Km long trip
- the very friendly spirit within the cyclos team including Dermot and the various agents teams in the 4 countries visited

It was great to be on the inaugural 4 country trip, and with a terrific group of riders. Starting in Kunming and heading for the hills , the trip just got better and better as each day came and went.

It's amazing how the food, local people , and scenery change so much in each country. I know this trip was difficult to organize due to logistics, and maybe it was a one time thing, but if it ever goes again from China or Vietnam, I highly recommend it.
