I requested some bike touring with great bikes, not substandard 60s era retreads. Based on wha we saw of others, Phat Tire came as close as one could to providing top quality equipment. In the US I would give the equipment a B, here it gets an A. Problems shifting, etc could be better but still better than the alternative.... More

My boyfriend and I were seeking adventure when we came across Phat Tires. We decided to do some abseiling on Marble Mountain. We had so much fun! We were fortunate that we were the only ones on the tour which gave us more time to rappel and do a few extra runs. I guess it pays to do the earliest... More

Boy, it's been something over 30 years since I have Abseiled, and my travelling companion Camm had never Abseiled in her life. These guys are fantastic, and really do put safety first. 2 decents, the second into Hells Cave at Marble Mountain. Camm was a natural (I thought she would crap herself, but no), and all the locals just loved... More

The first descent was 15m into a cavern, the second 25m and the third 55m into Hell Cave. All were exciting, ting and Jung were... More

Our family of 5 had a great day abseiling at Marble Mountain. Thinh Thinh was an excellent guide with great communication skills and Khoa was very professional and prepared a beautiful fresh lunch. Instructions were simple and clear and we ALWAYS felt perfectly safe. The drops went from 15m into a cave, to 25 m down a wall, then 55m... More

Him and the other guide whom i sadly cannot remember the name of, were truly proffesional, and very funny and laid back! So they ensured that everybody had a great time, and they pushed you to try your best, but not... More

My friend and I did the one day abseiling trip to Marble Mountain with our friendly, fantastic and funny guides from Phat Tire. The whole day was so much fun! They were professional and laid back at the same time. We were able to do 3 decents of differing depths. As there were only 2 of us in the group... More

My friends and I did abseiled down Marble Mountain with Phat Tire in March 2013. The price included hotel pick up and drop off, abseiling tour, and lunch. The boys were very friendly and put us at ease. They were very knowledgeable about safety considerations, and were constantly giving advice, without being stifling. Communication was not a problem at all.... More

Did the 42k cycle with Phat Tire to My Son. Excellent English speaking guide , stopped at small market on way and for rest when needed . Picnic lunch provided . Return journey by shuttle bus. Good value at 57 dollars, would highly recommend to any one with some level of fitness who wants to see the real Vietnam !
