Balkans Bicycle Trips

Our guide Dion was excellent. He was knowledgeable, gave us good information about Vietnam, was supportive and become aware of people’s requirements etc. He was essentially good when flooding became a problem for following the trip plan and quickly made the appropriate arrangements to change the trip plans to make it even better.

The trip was well organised and we were well supported at all times . Our tour leader Ky was excellent , he made the experience a once in a lifetime .

Our trip to Bangkok to Saigon with explore and our guide Ky Lee was excellent To see so much of this fascinating place had to be by bikes, and they were the best E-bikes I cannot say enough of our guide Ky and the team He was so knowledgeable, approachable new exactly how to make our experience of our holiday simply the best The hotels, food, itinerary and transporting us around was 5 star Explore has made this holiday for me the best experience I have had And I certainly would recommend them to my friend’s and family To anyone wants an experience of a lifetime, explores the one And Ky no 1 Lucy

Our recent trip was wonderful. We cycled Bangkok to Saigon and had a unique & very memorable experience. Our tour leader was Ky Lee; we were so lucky to have this lovely young man as our guide. He was outstanding in every respect !!

Had a great time in Kerala, with a fabulous bunch of fellow Explorers and a very knowledgable guide in Sam. Weather was kind, despite rain being forecast for the whole trip, only one heavy shower which was quite welcome in the very hot and humid conditions which made the cycling a little tougher. Accommodation was of mixed standards, had more cold showers than hot! Often welcome tho. A/C or fans throughout and much needed. Backwaters just as expected, lush and green, teeming with flora and fauna, binoculars useful, also enjoyed blowy coastal rides and the start of the trip in hippie vibe resorts of Kovalam and Varkala, excellent restaurants overlooking beach and lots of shops selling clothing and fabrics. Trip ended in Fort Cochin, iconic fishing nets ‘Cheena Vala’ didn’t disappoint along with architecture left by Dutch and Portuguese, nice feel to the place - an excellent trip with lots of good and cheap food, a few G and Ts too.

Our guide was excellent - well-informed, and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. He also got us quickly and resourcefully out of what could have been a tricky situation in Hoi An when it flooded. A flight to Hanoi and an alternative to our original schedule were quickly arranged, and the 50k pedal around Ninh Binh and a 'Homestay' lunch turned out to be quite the highlight of the trip! Ha Long Bay is ridiculously over-touristed. Nice little boat, great food, but the excursions were rather horrific. could there be a less frenetic alternative?
