2011 Cycling Vietnam - 19 days

2011 Cycling Vietnam - 19 days

Information supplied on this page is based on our 2010 itinerary and is subject to change; 2011 itinerary information will be updated in October 2010.

There is no better way to truly get to know Vietnam than on two wheels. You don’t have to be a champion cyclist – you will have the help of your Western tour leader and local guide, cycling mechanic and support vehicle along the way. We travel from north to south, covering the highlights and some extra special experiences – like an overnight stay on Halong Bay aboard a private junk, a chance to cycle the spectacular coastal roads between Hoi An and Nha Trang, and a rural homestay in the Mekong Delta. Ride as much, or as little, as you want.

Ask our Travelers: "Cycling Vietnam definitely exceeded all expectations. We felt like one happy family, and were sorry when the time came to go home. When cycling in the country all the children lined the street and everyone would sing out “hello” to us."T. Wallace - Australia
