“What more we can say... First time in Vietnam, and the whole experience was incredible. Vietnam was gorgeous in many aspects from nature to people. I was totally amazed by the spectacular view of the caves in Ninh Binh and Halong Bay, while my parents liked the Hue countryside tour. Vietnamese cuisine was excellent, from local street food to seafood buffets. We tried egg coffee, and it was so good, you must try it when traveling to Hanoi. We bought lots of souvenirs for our friends. We bought conical hats in the village, which was making them for a very long time, and we even saw the entire process of making them. We also recommend you to look at the products with mother-of-pearl decorations, you will be pleasantly surprised with the price for it. Thank you, travel specialist for making my visit memorable.”
Utterly amazing!

“The tour group was utterly amazing! Our leader was so much fun to be around and stuffed full of knowledge. He really got to know each of us in our group and this then made it so easy to ensure no one was left out and we all got stuck in together. On this trip, we got to experience so many bucket list activites and created lifelong memories with amazing people. Me and my husband had the greatest time with people from all over the world. We can truly say we experienced all of the wonders of Vietnam through the tour operator.”

Travel Tips for Vietnam Bicycling Tours
Make sure to hire or bring a bike with decent suspension. The road and trail conditions in Vietnam are not always ideal and are famous for tricky potholes!
Bring a puncture kit with you. When you’re cycling in Vietnam, it might be hours to the next bike shop, especially in rural areas, so having a puncture kit handy — and knowing how to use it — can be a lifesaver.
Join guided Vietnam cycling tours. This way, all your accommodation and routes will be sorted out for you in advance, and there might be the added benefit of having your bags portered ahead for you.
Make sure you have easy access to water while on your bike. Whether that’s a bottle clipped into a designated holder on your actual bike or a Camelbak day pack on your back, you need to stay hydrated in the Vietnamese heat and humidity.
Book appropriately sized transfer vehicles for your cycling holidays in Vietnam. If you’re bringing your own bike, the majority of the cars and taxis in Vietnam’s major cities are going to be too small to accommodate a bike. Make sure you think ahead and book a larger taxi or small van to ensure you and your bike can get to your tour starting point.
