Vietnam Cycling Tours

This was a really incredible trip! From North to South you get to see the ins-and-outs of this beautiful country, the beautiful sights, the friendly people and the tasty food! I feel that it was the perfect duration for the locations visited - I didn't feel rushed on any days but also don't feel that we were roaming around aimlessly at any point! Just an action packed trip from start to finish and one that I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking about going for it... you won't regret it!

This was our first organised tour holiday and it exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The information provided by Explore before the holiday was highly accurate, the itinerary was as described and the “premium” hotels were well worth the little extra cost. Explore also organised our flights and the whole experience was seamless. Our tour guide/leader was exceptionally knowledgeable, providing an interesting and educational dimension, from local insights through to the history and language of the country. Perfection.

Fabulous trip. The cycling was very leisurely giving us the time to really enjoy our surroundings. All of the support staff were great, so helpful ensuring that our trip ran very smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble. The Vietnamese and Cambodians were all so friendly and really pleased to see us!!

Superb guide, Son. Very good standard of accommodation and lots of variety including a night on a boat and a night on a train. Great moments and always something to look forward to . Very varied from Hectic Cities, historical Palaces , lunch with local family, markets, Buddhas and countryside with paddy fields and water buffalo.

Leader was great, support crew was excellent. We had a great time overall and would do another explore.biking trip. My only issue is that Explore suggests bringing US$ and quotes the tips in US$ once in country. Not one of us was from the US and many people thought that they needed to have US$ so changed these these in advance and then either paid in US$ (which is bad for the local currency) or had to exchange it into local currency (which cost them more money,). Everything should be quoted in local currency--especially anything that Explore is in charge of.

I undertook the trip despite not having been on my bike for 2 years. I had intended to do some preparation but the winter weather was so awful it never happened. Despite this I managed the cycling with no issues - it was advertised as easy. The itinerary was excellent although I would have liked a bit more exposure to local cuisine. Granted we had the choice on the nights off but we were ofter guided to more popular 'tourist' restaurants. This is not a criticism as it would likely suit many groups. I visited the museum in Siam Reap at the end of the trip but wished that I had done this before visiting the temples as I feel would have had a better understanding of the history. Something that I could have got by reading more myself before the trip. A learning curve for me.
