He spoke very good English and explained a lot about the local people and villages along the way and could answer any questions we had for him. My rider Thay was great, friendly and felt safe on the back of his bike and was on hand with the waterproofs, water etc. Would 100% book with these guys again 💗” - Reviewed on 2025-02-13
