Fantastic Day!! Highly recommended

Review of Bike Tour to My Son Sanctuary from Hoi An

This trip was wonderful!! Tinh & My were our guides and managed to get us all safely though the road traffic! A feat in itself, if you've ever been to Vietnam, you'll know what I mean!! We then cycled through paddy fields, over narrow bridges and through villages to get to My Son (pronounced Mee Sun, not my son, your son our anyone else's son!!).

Tinh was very knowledgeable about the area and the My Son ruins. I learned a lot about the kings of the area and that modern day architecture doesn't stand up to what they were doing 1400 years ago!!!

We also saw the bomb craters left from the Vietnam War, no idea how the citizens survived those, but they did with their inbuilt resilience. Such lovely people who shout "Hello" to you from their homes that we cycled past.

On the downside, the bikes aren't brilliant, so make sure you pack some bike knicks or some sort of padding, 43km isn't that far, but you may end up with a numb bum!!!

Thanks to Tinh & My (& the English family we met on the trip). Very enjoyable day!!

Date of experience: February 2020

We keep coming back year after year

We did our first adventures with PTV in 2011. Since then, we have come back to Vietnam in 2015 and again in 2019, always making sure to come back to Đà Lạt so we can do more adventuring with PTV.
Our trips with PTV are always the absolute highlight of our vacation in Vietnam. They provide the safest and most fun trips around. The equipment, service, and food is always top quality. The guides are super knowledgeable and genuinely nice, fun people. We always enjoy spending time with them.
This year (2019), we did Jungle Boogie trekking with Khanh and Northern Exposure mountain biking with Tuyến. In previous years we’ve done many other day trips with PTV: canyoning (twice), hike and kayak, white water rafting, bike and raft, and other mountain biking trips. All of them were so much fun! Experiences and memories to last a lifetime!
I am a beginner mountain biker. The Northern Exposure biking day (2019) was super fun for me; I was able to bike the whole trail and have a great time! It was challenging, but not so technical that I couldn’t do it.
Jungle Boogie (2019) is a great hike with beautiful scenery; it makes for an awesome, active yet chill hiking day.
We cannot recommend PTV highly enough. If you go to Vietnam, go to Đà Lạt and do some adventuring with the PTV crew! It will be the best part of your entire trip!

Full day canyoning from hoi an.

We went on a day trip canyoning outside of Hoi An. We had a fantastic time with our 2 guides: we abseiled down 3 waterfalls, went down a rock slide and jumped off many rocks into pools. The guides gave good clear instructions and made the whole day very enjoyable! Afterwards they had made lots of food for lunch which was very tasty.

Canyoning

I could not recommend a day of Canyoning with Phat Tire Ventures highly enough. It was our first time doing such an activity so we were nervous about safety.

The equipment seemed very new and well maintained. Our guides Tuyen and Kanhn were so personable, spoke exceptional English explained each obstacle in great detail but also in a way which made us feel safe the whole time. 

To top it off we all sat together and had a lovely lunch to finish the day.

What a buzzz.

Bike ride to myson

I joined a group of 5 others to do this ride , it was absolutely awesome our guide ting was great there was a 10 year old in the group who did the whole ride but just needed the pace kept down which ting did admirably. I didnt mind the slow pace there is just so much to see on this ride . I would highly recommend this day out if you want to see rural Vietnam

Best tour I have ever had!

Review of Marble Mountain Rappelling Tour with Temple and Cave Exploration from Hoi An

My girlfriend and I did the Marble Mountains rappelling tour and it was probably the best tour, no joke, I have done in my entire life. 

We booked it in the morning blindly because we had no clue what to do on the day and it was such a great choice. We were picked up at our hotel in Da Nang on time and our guides were Thao and Thinh. From the beginning, they were very friendly and their English was the best we encountered on our month-long trip of Vietnam.

When we got to the Marble Mountains, they gave us a quick training course on abseiling, some brief information on their equipment and maintenance (which was A-Grade and to the international standard) and a short explanation of their training in abseiling.

Once that was out of the way, we were scaling down sheer cliffs and dark caves, all the while in perfectly safe hands. It was a major thrill and I'd definitely do it again.

After it finished they treated us to some fruits and a quick snack and showed us around the 19th century caverns and shrines.

I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends and family visiting Da Nang and wanting to look for an adventurous thing to do. I also want to commend Thao and Thinh for their excellent people skills and friendliness and encourage them to keep it up and continue the great work they do!

High Safety Standards

Review of: Viet Nam Rock Climbing Tour at the Marble Mountains

My family had a great time with the Phat Tire crew. I’ve been involved with planning for school field studies and these guys know what they are doing and maintained High International safety standards as we climbed and rappelled. Wonderful and friendly staff. I highly recommend this group. Climbing amongst the temple complex was fun as well. Good shade throughout the day. 

Canyoning tour

Awesome adventure for my 14 year old son and I with Phat Tire. The guides are amazing - patient instructors, committed to safety, and fun! All of the gear is top quality and in excellent condition. The guides are very experienced and love what they do. Highly recommended!

Hikiking, biking, canyoning - Phat Tire is Awesome:

Experienced, friendly, and safety conscious guides set phat tire apart from the other companies. We were traveling with an 11 and 14 year old. The bike from da lat to nah trang was really an experience. Kids made it the first 50 k then opted for the van after lunch. They had good books with them and didn't at all mind waiting for us to finish the ride!

Highly recommend phat tire.

Holy Moly cycle to My Son
What an amazing experience to cycle across all the countryside visiting the local villages and seeing the local way of life, amazing views, whilst having a great time with our tour guide Ting. You need a reasonable amount of fitness for the 40k+ ride, but mostly it is on the flat. It does sometimes go across terrain, but nothing strenuous. Cycling through the villages, little bridges, seeing weddings, rice noodles and rice wraps being made, local children running after your bikes, and then finally getting to the My Son ruins was just the best day. Ting was such a great guide. Often water breaks and photo opportunities. Even some light entertainment to break the ride. 

The ruins are so interesting and again, the guide walks you round explaining and answering questions. 

This whole day was one of my highlights of our travelling. Bikes are in tip top condition and they supply gloves and hats. Plenty of water throughout the trip, and then a nice local lunch just as you hit My Son. Which you will need after that ride.

Would highly, highly recommend.

We had high hopes for our 70km cycle from Dalat (the outskirts) to Mui Ne, and Phat Tyre managed to exceed them. Such a professional service. Our guide, Linh, was brilliant - he set a pace that suited both my husband (after exhilaration) and me...More
