Our cycling trip was wonderful. Our trip leader, Nguyen, was absolutely superb and so was our mechanic and crew. Thank you.

The Buffalo Tour staff adapted to our needs, likes and dislikes and became great support for us cycling through mountains and cities. They taught us language, about culture and became our close friends. Thank you to each of them – from my heart.

Responsible Tourism in Mai Chau:
Buffalo Tours are the leading promoters of responsible tourism in Vietnam. We have been very proactive in Mai Chau, pioneering trekking and homestays in the region. Buffalo Tours run volunteer projects and medical treks to the region, plus regularly donating water buffalos. Our 8 year low impact involvement with Mai Chau has enabled us to develop a harmonious relationship with the people and brought much needed income and services to the local community.
Every effort has been made for Mai Chau Lodge to have a positive and sustainable impact on the communities. Independent studies were undertaken to ensure hill tribes were happy and involved in the Lodge development. Mai Chau Lodge educates and employs local hill tribe people thus helping to alleviate poverty in the region. The monthly income for Lodge staff is equivalent to a yearly income working in the fields. By staying at Mai Chau Lodge you will be financially supporting the local people and helping them to stay in the region.
