A really enjoyable trip. Fascinating cultural experiences in the tribes, spectacular and relaxing Halong Bay, the madness of Hanoi, and the sights of the rest of Vietnam. A couple of days of trekking, but more walking after that. Still tiring due to the heat/humidity, early starts and some long bus rides. Well worth the experience.
This trip was amazing as we spent time dodging scooters in large cities like Ho Chi Min City and Hanoi as well as being in extremely beautiful rural environments too. The hotels were of a fantastic standard and the country has so much interesting history and culture and we learned so much in between the more serious cycling. Following the coast road was wonderful as the sea breeze cooled us down and the views were magnificent. The 10km climb was fun and all of the group except two who were a little poorly made it to the top. A 35km downhill was absolutely exhilarating.
Overall I would highly recommend this trip it was so interesting, colourful, wonderfully guided and I have not yet mentioned the cuisine -I am a piscatorian and the food was exquisite...the train ride was great fun and words fail me to describe the immense mystical beauty of Halong Bay,

Want to bike through Vietnam - choose Exodus Our experience booking a trip with Exodus was great. From the time of booking the trip to our return flight, after our trip, was working out perfectly. Thanks to a wonderful, amazing tour guide, mechanic, truck- and bus driver we had a well organized trip. Not once did we have to wait for a connection. The hotels were wonderful, the bikes we had, were in perfect shape and the mechanic, on a lay-over day, changed all our chains. Lunches we ate were supporting smaller restaurants in many rural settings.
We highly recommend this trip.
