Ngoc was the man. The guy only has one mood, and it's happy. He was on top of every single aspect of the trip for every single rider. You left something. back at the hotel? He found it and got it back to you. Your ATM card got sucked into the machine ( my case ) No worries. He finds a workaround for hotel payment. Is your bike acting up? No sweat, take mine and we'll figure it out later. And in between, you'll get amazing and detailed history lessons on Vietnam. Really enjoyed my time with him.

The astounding scenery of Vietnam. The variety of excellent accommodations for the overnights (exceeded my expectations). The local knowledge and historical perspectives of Vietnam and Indochine histories imparted by Ngoc throughout the trip was incredible.
