Vietnam - Cambodia - Thailand In 22 Days Vietnam was incredible. Despite the initial setback of my lost suitcase, our tour operator went above and beyond to help me find medication. From there, the tour was simply magnificent. We explored Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, Cambodia, and Bangkok, enjoying seamless organization and comfortable travel throughout. Thank you—we'll definitely be back for more!
This was a great adventure and very good way of seeing a real slice of the country rather that just the tourist hotspots. The trip is full on in terms of keeping moving from place to place and packing a lot into the two weeks - so dont expect a relaxing laid back holiday. The up side of this is that you are constantly seeing new things/places/people which makes for a fascinating time. Dont underestimate the cycling - especially given the heat/humidity - and 100km on a mountain bike is a long day even if you are an experienced cyclist. However, the support is great and seeing the team ready with iced 'Lemon Lemon' every 15 to 20km was a very welcome chance to take a break and chat in the shade. The road traffic can be hectic in the towns, so you need to be vigilant for errant scooters/trucks/cows/ dogs etc but the other road users are generally aware of cyclists and give you enough room. Most of the time the support bus takes you in/out of the bigger cities, thereby avoiding the need to ride through the mega busy areas. However, if you are not confident in traffic then you might find some of the riding a bit intimidating.
A busy trip, which gave a great overview of Vietnam, but with enough activities so that It didn't feel a sightseeing tour. There were journeys to be made but there was always a fun activity to look forward to. Vietnam is a fascinating country, and we met lovely people along the way.,
