This is one of the best trips ever – and I’ve done plenty! Excellent guides, excellent route and came straight back and booked another cycling trip!
Cycling around Angkor Wat and surrounding temple complexes was a way to see the sights that made you feel a part of it in a way that being on a bus would not have come close to.
Superb.
Do it!
A great trip with easy cycling on flat terrain with mostly good roads. Lots of stops for fluid and carbohydrate intake. A wide variety of sights to see and the guide and local guides were very professional and informative.
The friendliness of the people in Vietnam, especially the children who greeted us with cheery 'Hellos' in every village. Not inspirational but memorable were the visits to sights of atrocities in Cambodia and Vietnam. Very upsetting but something that had to be experienced.
Very professional
No real problems to prepare for on this trip - just enjoy!
Fab way of experiencing new cultures, foods, peoples whilst staying active
Cycling the paddy fields of Cambodia and Vietnam
Absolutely fantastic
None really.
The Cambodia part was great, the Vietnam part really nice too, however the first few days in Thailand (300km or so) was just tiring and a bit uninspiring with little to see – high mileage when everyone was jet lagged and short of sleep. The Mekong delta in Vietnam was lovely although some of the roads were really quite busy and it felt a bit too rushed at times with too few opportunities to take photos. More time in Cambodia and Vietnam to replace the days in Thailand would have suited me, plus more quiet backroads and tracks.
The temples at Angkor, the sunset on Tonle Sap, the homestay / guest house on the Mekong and the friendly local people everywhere.
Good fun and well organised but could have been more aware of health and safety issues and less dismissive of customer concerns.
Get bike fit - although it is very flat, the roads can be a bit rough and it is hot and humid! Don't go if you want to have a relaxing holiday. Most of it is quite early starts and some days are quite hard work.
A great way to see and experience 3 countries in 2 weeks. Good weather, good food, good company. Well managed by local guides
Loved the floating village (optional trip). Can see the appeal of this as an alternative lifestyle!
Simply the best. I've been on several guided trips and Wasan is a real star. Kept us on schedule "you can have as long as you want as long as it's not more than 10 minutes". Led us well, looked after us well, made sure we regularly fed and watered.... Nothing seemed too much trouble. Trying to manage a group age range from 20's to 70's is a real challenge, my impression is that no-one was disappointed.
Just do it!Need minimal amount of clothes as regular low cost laundry available. And of course you can stock up on cheap clothes in Saigon.
523.3km cycled in 30+ Degree heat (Im pretty sure that was the number! Definetly the 500 and .3km is correct thanks to Colins GPS), phew, luckily snacks and juice and wet icy towel always available at every stage. This was due to first class organisation and the talent and expertise of our trip guide Wasan who always made Plan A work out, but also always had Plan B up his sleeve just in case! If anything I wish we had cycled more as this was the best part of the holiday. Merit is also due to the more mature ladies of our group who kept up throughout. When I am 75 (the oldest of them) I will dream of being able to do half off what they did. Hotels were also better than I expected and good quality throughout. It appears the trip is about to go through a reorganisation of local staff though so I cant vouch for its future maintenanence of the allready extremely high quality.
Cycling around the temples of Angkor Watt were worth the price of the ticket alone. It was a truely magical experiance the first day there in the afternoon sun at the end of a long and hot cycle ride heading back to the hotel just stumbling through one wonderfull sight after another.This is not to say that the myriad other wonderfull cultural wonders that litter the trip were of no significance as our emotions were sobered by the experiance of the recent past of cambodia and Vietnam but raised again by the wonderfull optimism and energy of the people.
What can I say about Wasan! His deft use of humour to keep us on track was masterfull and his organisational abilitities second to none. The only black mark was the huge hug he gave me at the end of the trip. I am an engineer so such blatant shows of emotion are anathema to me, yuech!
At the home stay watch your Mosquito control. I made the mistake of too many beers and must of set the Mozzie net incorrectly and forgot to spray my deet. 40 bites in the morning later...........
What a unique fusion of culture, cycling and great company!-This holiday had everything that can be fitted into two very full weeks. A classic experience.
What inspired me most was the sheer resourcefulness and drive of the less-affluent locals, who seemed very much in harmony with their surroundings.
Wassan oversaw the holiday in an apparently seamless manner, always at hand if necessary. His knowledge of the locals proven invaluable in securing a great holiday.
Arrive with an open mindLaundry can be done on route.Don’t be put off with the amount of cycling-its paced with plenty of breaks-and there are contingencies.
This trip renewed my faith in group organised holidays. It was well planned, adaptable, encouraged everyone to try new experiences, and showed the very best of 3 countries.
Due to the flooding in many areas it was amazing how much of Cambodian/Vienamese life doesn't allow these adverse conditions to affect their day to day life. We had a trip to a river market and drove through some very small flooded towns, and each person was carrying on, generally smiling as though this was quite normal. I loved the make do and mend attitude of each country to absolutley everything aspect of life. And I was also inspired by my fellow cyclists, those who probably hadn't spent a lot of time on a bike but carried on and the 4 people who fell off, they brushed themselves down and jumped back on again. Awesome.
Al was a great team leader, he was always calm, very organised, knew exactly when to stop and give us all a rest from the heat or the cycling. Pre-warned us on upcoming hills etc, and you could always trust his recommendations when it came to food and/or restaurants. He was friendly without going over the top, didn't pick favourites which can be a very annoying habit in a leader, and involved himself with everyone at some point or another on the trip. He was well trusted
If going on this trip, bring some mudguards as 1 person bought them on our trip and we were all jealous of his relatively dry rear end. If you can get a lot of $1 notes for Cambodia, and on a negative, watch you back if you're in Tuk Tuk or Cyclo as one of our group had their bag nicked by a passing motorbiker.Forget all your highway code as it's worth zilch in these countries and to cross a road in Vietnam, go slow and sure, don't run or stop and everyone will move around you, believe me it works.
Great trip from start to finish
Sounds trite but there was something to amaze me everyday.Obviously the temples-but the friendliness of the people, the motorbikes and how organised everyting was!
Al made the holiday -much more than a leader a friend too!. Nothing was to much trouble-everything was so well run that it seemed so relaxed.Poor Al was the only one to come off his bike on a very wet, slippery bend- only bruised thankfully
Money from atms no problemSunscreen, a hat, and insect repellant vital!
This trip was great and was the first one for me as a single traveller I couldn’t have had a better time.
I can't pick one inspirational moment as it was all equally good.
Al was absolutely fantastic nothing was a problem.
Don't take a waterproof you won't need it, its so hot that if it rains its welcomed!
