An interesting destination with a fascinating culture.
The cuisine is delightful and this Explore trip gives you an insight into the preparation of the local food.
The flora is very colourful, but bird watchers will be very disappointed. There is more birdsong in my garden than two weeks in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese are extremely friendly and helpful. The traffic is daunting.

This trip was excellent. Our guide was great, the accommodations were varied but all very good, the food was good too. We really enjoyed the riding, it was varied and through lovely countryside on quiet country roads and lanes. The riding through the cities and towns was a bit more challenging, but the traffic was very considerate and we were well guided through by our guide.The organisation, along with attendant bus and driver, and truck and mechanic, was outstanding. We were very grateful for the electric bikes, some of which were better than others. Felt we had a very good experience of Vietnam. Thoroughly to be recommended.

Great trip from Bobobudur, through Java and Bali. Some really un-touristy places on both islands ending with uber touristy Ubud and Sanur so a good mix.
Pieter our leader was amusing and knows everything there is to know.
Always plenty stops for drinks and to stretch the legs on travel days .

The trip to Saudi Arabia was amazing. It was a full packed trip with a variety of experiences. There were so many highlights for me - The Prophet's Mosque, Hegra, Yanbu (boat ride and snorkeling), the Camel Market and seeing so many camels along the way, just to mention a few.
Our tour leader, Daniel was incredible! He was very organized, knowledgeable, thoughtful and created an enjoyable and informative experience for everyone. The local tour guides were also great and answered so many questions. I was impressed by how welcoming and friendly the Saudi people were to us. It was a memorable and eye opening experience that I will treasure.

Yet another excellent trip with Explore. Each day was a new, diverse cycle ride providing a real insight to Vietnam - off the beaten track. Our guide Bình was so kind, full of knowledge and enthusiasm which he was so willing to share with the group.

A superb trip, incorporating cycling with plenty of opportunities to see various sights and the variety of landscapes around the country. All of the accommodation was excellent, comfortable and welcoming. The trip was supported by a great team who did everything possible to make it enjoyable for us all. In particular, our main guide worked tirelessly to ensure everything went well and in sharing his local knowledge, enhanced the overall experience.
All in all, a great way to enjoy everything that Sri Lanka has to offer.
