Vietnam Cycling Tours

Fantastic trip, city, towns , beach and rural areas amazing contrasts . Could have been better informed as Explore booked flights and we missed the Saigon tour - to have had the option to come earlier as not to have missed the tour - even at extra cost I found the holiday a bit stressful as there seemed great competitiveness with in the group to finish first - a holiday - not a competition - the E-bike seemed hard work too Also it was suggested that I should not have booked a cycling holiday as concerns that I would be able to do it- I did the whole thing and did not need any support - a bit discouraging really as age should not be an issue - if it is not to be allowed to book in the first place The leader and especially the cycling support team amazing Excellent 10 to 15 km cycling breaks provided with great snacks and refreshments Lastly our flight home was not booked until late evening which enabled us to explore Hanoi - we had a fantastic day - so like the beginning to have that extra time even at an individuals own cost / to be given the option More info - things like the water puppet show - not sure how to get tickets etc and having only one night there made it difficult Overall the most fantastic holiday I have ever had Amazing country, culture and a very cost effective holiday Hotels, food , Vietnamese people lovely Cruise just amazing and the food outstanding Highly recommended have lots of photos but on my phone The train street was fabulous

We had an excellent tour guide: helpful, informed, receptive and with a good sense of humour. Most of the hotels were excellent....some slightly less so (Nha Trang for example). The service on the trip was exceptional. The support team of transport, bag carriage and a cycle mechanic were also excellent. Vietnam is fascinating and being on bikes we saw all aspects of the country. We saw its beauty, we saw the industry and pride of its people who were universally very welcoming. We also saw all sorts of things normal tourists, arriving in a large group with little language ability, would not be able to see. Some of the best things were stops in markets, or by rice fields, or at very basic homes or cafes. We saw a lot and visited a lot of different places: a 'grand tour' if you can do such a thing on bikes! The country certainly has issues, in my opinion, with rapid over-development (in the south particularly) with endless giant resorts half finished, being built or built and empty. It also needs to address the issue of litter. It is not alone in facing these issues! I am also certain it has the ability and determination to address them.

Had the best trip! Enjoyed every moment, everything was so carefully thought out, travel, transport was so smooth, any issues was sorted by Ada quickly, she was very informative, professional and friendly! Booked onto another trip to Vietnam looking forward to it!! Accommodation was incredible, day trips to the islands was my favourite. Thanks so much Ada ¸

An incredible trip from start to finish. Excellent balance of cycling, sight seeing, city experiences and local culture. The local team were fantastic I cannot recommend this trip more highly.

Review This was our first, small group holiday ever and so pleased we chose Explore - we enjoyed it enormously. The organisation around the whole trip was very professional from the team in England to the very end. The itinerary was well thought out and provided very interesting insights into the daily lives of the Vietnamese and Cambodian people alongside the extensive history of the two countries we visited. Our tours guides were very knowledgeable and amusing - always happy to answer questions and providing many light hearted moments. Our team leader guide Binh, was wonderful and so professional. Always doing everything he could to make our holiday run smoothly. We chose a cycling holiday and this enabled us to visit small villages off the beaten track. There was always a mechanical support team with us who were also lovely. Would definitely recommend Explore to anyone - and we are already looking at other trips.

We had a fantastic trip with explore! Starting with a brief intro to Thailand with professional friendly experienced guides Koi, Tri and the fab support Team (Bus driver, cycle team-always smiling and helpful!) travelling through the local back streets of Bangok and the waterways around the city, seeing the impressive Temples and Grand Palace through to the border of Cambodia. This is where we met are new guides Sum (bursting with enthusiasm, knowledge and fun), Seda (knowledgeable, humble and kind) and another great support Team (Bus Driver, cycle supporters-smiling and helpful) our guides provided an amazing insight into the kind and humble people of Cambodia, the interesting culture and history, with beautiful scenery and impressive historical sites of the Angkor's temples onto the border of the Vietnamese Mekong River Delta. Our professional, friendly guide Huan and new support Team (bus driver and cycle supporters (friendly and helpful as always!) who had been with us throughout the tour ensuring each day ran smoothly, from hotels, bikes/cycling needs, sight seeing, transfers, to additional ideas/options which made for an amazing dive session on Phu Quoc island, much appreciation to Huan and all the Team for a most memorable and always treasured adventure.🫶🚲
