Vietnam’s millenia-long history and sophisticated culture can often seem as vast as the country’s great expanse from north to south. Our Vietnam Heritage by Bicycle tour reveals the essence of this intriguing fusion. The cycling routes blossom from the ancient settlements of Hue and Hoi An that have borne witness to pivotal events in the life of the country, arcing across the legendary Hai Van (Ocean Cloud) Pass on one of Vietnam’s iconic coastal roads. This makes for diverse, gorgeous riding through a nation at once imbued with tradition and always in motion.
Each day brings a stellar mix of cycling and cultural exploration. At Hue, imperial capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, wander feng shui gardens surrounding ornate monuments to the emperors. Cross the Perfume River, enjoying the tropical scent of flowers which inspired its name, and ride to the impressive Thien Mu Pagoda in its majestic location. Witness the timeless agricultural life of Hue province, then cycle down the coastal road across the storied Hai Van Pass and visit My Son, built by the kings of Champa between the 4th and 14th centuries, now the site of the most extensive Cham remains. Explore hidden villages to meet artisans making colorful incense, rice wine, and wood carvings. Mingle with the market vendors amid the graceful architecture of old Hoi An and sample the local delicacies prepared with pride by local chefs.
Join us on this evocative 7-day cycling tour and experience the many aspects of Vietnam’s heritage by bicycle!

Vietnam with intro was such an incredible experience thanks to our fantastic leader Michelle! Honourable mention to Jas and Tim as leaders-in-training who will be amazing. The whole trip was so enjoyable and engaging, and I genuinely cant remember the last time I had that much fun. Michelle was amazing in any scenario thrown her way, and nothing was ever too big of an issue to solve! I consistently felt so safe and reassured with the team. From cultural experiences of war tunnels and walking tours to incredible boat rides and fun nights out this has been one of the best holidays of my life. I would absolutely recommend to anyone solo travelling because you will meet such amazing people along the way. I wish I could do it all over again!

I just finished a month long of travelling with Intro Travel Thailand and Vietnam legs.
I really enjoyed the tours and the activities that were offered as well as the opportunity to meet some amazing people (both guests and group leaders) from all walks of life and around the world. In short, this experience was life-altering and has shaped my cultural understanding of Thailand and Vietnam as a whole.
In particular, I want to give a shoutout to my Vietnam group leader, Danny. He was truly amazing and catered to all your needs as a friend first then a group leader after, AND I WAS NEEDY ‚.
P.S, Rhi (My group leader from Thailand) was amazing too when I was feeling homesick and down!

For a truly authentic Vietnamese experience, why not travel the country the local way, by bicycle? Take your time to savour the unique culture and diverse landscapes of Vietnam as you cross it in a slower, more deliberate way. The tour will take you from the bustling streets of Hanoi, through the charming scenes of Central Vietnam where you will get to enjoy locations like the caves of Phong Nha, the old Imperial city of Hue, and finally the gorgeous World Heritage Site of Hoi An.
