Eastern Europe Bicycle Trips

This isn't just a cycling trip; it's a profound cultural immersion. Our two-week journey through Vietnam and Cambodia redefined what "active travel" means, trading tourist buses and crowds for quiet backroads and genuine human connection. If you're looking to be active paired with deep insight into Southeast Asian life, look no further. ​The adventure began in Vietnam, plunging us straight into the vibrant pulse of the Mekong Delta. Cycling alongside endless rice paddies and crossing tributaries by ferry, we witnessed the beautiful chaos of Vietnamese life. The smells of fresh cooking, the vibrant market colors, and the constant, friendly waves from locals made every kilometer fly by. The flat, easy terrain of the Mekong provided a perfect route, allowing us to focus entirely on the scenery. ​Crossing into Cambodia brought a subtle but powerful shift. The landscape grew gentler, and the atmosphere felt more tranquil. It was here, away from the city centers and main highways, that the true magic of the tour unfolded. Our routes took us down dirt roads and pathways, directly into the heart of rural communities. This direct access was the defining feature of the tour, fostering moments of authentic interaction that simply can't be replicated. ​It was during these stretches that the cycling felt less like tourism and more like belonging. As I recall those moments, a particular feeling stands out: "I felt like we were part of the community cycling alongside children going and coming from school, residents greeting us as we cycled by and witnessing farmers tending their rice paddies." This encapsulates the entire experience—it was a privilege to be a quiet observer, often pausing just to watch life happen, earning smiles and nods as we passed. ​The final days exploring the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat by bicycle provided a stunning historical and visual climax. Pedaling through the jungle trails to find hidden temples felt like we were uncovering secrets of an ancient world, a truly rewarding feeling after days of hard work. ​From the excellent, knowledgeable local guides who seamlessly handled all logistics to the perfectly curated routes, every detail was managed flawlessly. This tour is highly recommended for anyone who wants their travel to be more than just sightseeing—it's for those who want to feel the heartbeat of a place. It’s an unforgettable journey that will leave you physically rejuvenated and culturally enriched.

This was to be a trip of a lifetime and it truly delivered. With the first part into the national park to stay in the edge of the jungle this trip truly was very special. The itinerary was great with such a variety of things to do and see. The cycling took us through great landscapes showing Costa Rica at its best. Our Guides Carlos and Mos very informative and very attentive. On a personal note I asked them to come up with a special place that I could propose to my girlfriend, they more than delivered with a perfect setting with a perfect volcano as a back drop. Accommodation was mostly good with a couple of stays a little under par. Great country great people highly recommend.

Excellent cycling tour from beginning to end. It was everything the trip said it would be and so much more. Bing was a fabulous tour leader, always supportive and encouraging. His enthusiasm for his country and Cambodia shone through. He arranged wonderful places for breaks and stopped along the way to look in detail at things we would have otherwise missed. Thank you Bing for a memorable trip.

We had such an amazing holiday in these two wonderful countries. My favourite was Chile for the volcanoes and Argentina for the Condors! Easily, the most picturesque trip I've been on with Exodus! The accommodation was fantastic for the most part, with a mixture of 3,4 and 5-star hotels!

Carlos was incredible right from the very first day of the trip. None of us knew him yet, and I didn’t know what to expect, but he immediately stood out to me as someone who was extremely professional, organized, and thorough. Every evening, he gave me and the rest of the group all the details we needed — the route, the roads, the timing, the breakfasts and dinners, the weather, the excursions, the challenges, the highlights. He told us what to wear, when to use sunscreen, what to expect from the climbs, when the rain might come, when to prepare for heat — every little detail was covered. Because of that, I felt comfortable, confident, and fully aware of what was coming the next day. There were no surprises, and that was because of Carlos. And once he finished going through all the serious information, he would sometimes throw in a little joke. Just a quick comment or a funny line to lighten the mood. I didn’t expect that from him at the beginning, but those moments always made me smile, and they helped me relax. It showed me that underneath the professional guide was a warm, funny, genuinely special person. As the days went on, I got to see how much Carlos truly loves to ride. He lives for cycling. He rides long distances, he races all the time, and he never seems to get tired. His passion for biking isn’t something he hides — you can feel it in everything he does. And that passion made the trip even better for me. It made me trust him, and it made me enjoy the rides more. I’ve been on a few guided trips before, and I can say honestly: Carlos is the best guide I have ever had. Professional, caring, sharp, humble, funny, and unbelievably dedicated — he made this entire trip better for me in every way. Carlos is truly one of a kind

This is my second time coming to Cambodia, and I thought I already knew everything about it but this trip taught me so much more. All the experiences I join were excellent, with the Phnom Penh cooking class being my favourite. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to know more about Cambodia than just a classic experience.
