Cycle from electric Ho Chi Minh City to the thrilling capital of Hanoi, going beyond the guidebook to experience the true Vietnam. On this immersive adventure, we ride through fishing villages, folding rice terraces and jungle-cloaked mountains, while also climbing the twisting coastal roads of the famed Hai Van Pass. Off-the-bike adventures include an overnight cruise among the spectacular limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay, a two-night stay on the tropical Whale Island and countless interactions with smiling local people.
One of Our Top Recommended Trips for 2026… Here’s Why
If you’re new to small-group bike tours, this is the trip for you. It was one of our most popular cycling trips last year and consistently receives excellent feedback – just check out the reviews! Make 2026 the year you finally saddle up and join us − Sarah Puttnam, destination expert
Moderate: 8mph-10mph (13kph-16kph)
Terrain:Low altitude; 100 percent paved
The route is generally flat with some undulation with the exception of Dalat and the Hai Van Pass
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is an exciting and absorbing city where bicycles battle with trucks and temples stand defiantly alongside modern developments. Devastated by the Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh City is now a bustling free market city where anything goes. If you arrive with some time to explore, the Ben Thanh Market and Notre Dame Cathedral are within easy walking distance and highly recommended.
Around 6pm, say xin chào to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.
Your tour leader then ensures a big Vietnamese welcome by arranging a group dinner at a local restaurant.

This morning we drive out of the city, before riding to the Cu Chi tunnels. This offers a great introduction to cycling in Vietnam and a chance to fine-tune the bikes. The tunnels were Viet Cong sanctuaries, used by the guerrillas as living quarters and escape routes. The network covers three levels and approximately 149mi (240km) of tunnels. Some parts have been widened for tourists, but the tunnels were originally very narrow and it is still necessary to crawl on hands and knees.
If you prefer not to visit the tunnels you can have an unguided free day in Ho Chi Minh City. Places of interest include the Emperor of Jade and Giac Lam pagodas, the former Presidential Palace (now the Reunification Hall), Ben Thanh market and the War Remnants Museum.

After an early breakfast, head out of Ho Chi Minh City by bus and then start cycling towards the coast. We hit the backroads and head through tropical fruit and rubber plantations, also passing a small fishing village as we make our way closer to the coast, finishing our ride in time for lunch. We then transfer (approximately three hours) to Mui Ne, a tranquil white-sand beach where we can witness our first sunset over the East Sea. We spend four to five hours on the bus today.
Accommodation: Ocean Dunes Resort (or similar)
We cycle towards Dalat; the route is undulating with occasional climbs. Along the way we pass coffee and tea plantations, flower gardens and pine forests as we reach higher altitude. We rejoin the bus before the road climbs steeply to the mountain town of Dalat. We spend approximately 3hr 30min on the bus today.
Dalat is a pleasant hill station, formerly known as Le Petit Paris, and has been described as the most beautiful town in Vietnam. It was favoured by the French for its climate, and is now a popular honeymoon resort for the Vietnamese.
Accommodation: La Sapinette Hotel (or similar)
Today’s ride is predominantly undulating and approximately 19mi (30km) downhill through pine forests and paddy fields as we descend nearly 4,921ft (1,500m) and travel through Bidoup Ba National Park. This area is home to rare pine forests, plus small villages inhabited by the ethnic minority people of the central highlands. Once we arrive at the coast, we head by bus (approximately 90 minutes) to the coast near Nha Trang before boarding a boat to our tropical island retreat of Whale Island for the next two nights. Today you can cycle up to 55.9mi (90km) according to preference.
Accommodation: Whale Island Resort (or similar)
Relax and unwind today. Join a boat trip in the morning for snorkelling and sea swimming before a seafood lunch. During our boat trip, we pass a small fishing village and see the Whale temple on a small island (please note, only local people are allowed access to this island). In the afternoon, you have the option to relax on the beach or walk around the island to the viewpoint for a 360-degree view of the mountainous coastline and the surrounding coves and white-sand beaches.
Accommodation: Whale Island Resort (or similar)
We set off early in the morning and first take a short transfer from Whale Island through Dai Lanh and Ca Pass before setting off on our bikes at Vung Ro Bay, where we ride along the coast to Tuy Hoa and O Loan Lagoon to Chi Thanh. In Chi Thanh, we stop for lunch and a short rest before continuing to La Hai where we complete our longest ride of the trip (62.2mi/100km). From La Hai, we then transfer one hour to our hotel in Quy Nhon. We spend approximately two hours on the bus today.
Accommodation: Seagull Quy Nhon Hotel (or similar)
Leaving Quy Nhon this morning, we travel through a new economic zone over the Thi Nai peninsula and Nhon Hoi Bridge, the longest sea bridge in Vietnam. Getting off our bikes, we visit a market, where it’s not unusual to be pulled aside for a photo as this part of the country does not see many Western tourists. The coastline features secluded bays, dunes and beaches with brightly painted fishing boats bobbing on the East Sea. We cycle until we arrive at Phu Ly and stop for lunch before we drive (approximately four hours) to Hoi An.
Hoi An, the original European trading port in Vietnam dating back to the mid-16th century is now a living museum, with attractive wooden merchants houses and pagoda-style temples with Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and European architectural influences. It is also a marvellous place to wander around and enjoy the thriving riverside market. We spend two nights in Hoi An, which is also a fantastic place to buy local art or have some clothes tailor-made for you. It’s best to bring a picture or a sample of what you want made. We spend approximately six hours on the bus today.
Accommodation: Hoi An Sincerity Hotel & Spa (or similar)
Upgrade to a balcony pool view room today – speak to your sales representative for more details
This morning we take a guided walking tour of Hoi An to explore some of the structures of historical significance in the Old Town, including bridges, temples, wells and houses. Those less interested in architecture can cycle the 3mi (5km) to the lovely Cua Dai beach or to the Marble Mountains, which are 11.8mi (19km) from town. These five marble hills, formerly islands, contain many caves, some of which were used as Buddhist (and Viet Cong) sanctuaries.
Also nearby is My Khe beach, a R&R spot for US troops in the war, and Da Nang, where there is a Cham Museum, which despite being in poor condition, is very interesting. It is also possible to visit My Son, one of the most important Cham temple sites in Vietnam where Cham kings were buried as early as the fourth century. Although wartime bombing has destroyed much of the site, there are several interesting stone towers and sanctuaries.

Today we turn north again for the drive/cycle to Hue. The route traverses over the spectacular Hai Van Pass – the Pass of the Ocean Clouds. The views are stunning, though those who prefer to avoid the 1,903ft (580m) climb can always take a lift in the support vehicle. Once at the top it will all seem worth it as you plummet back to the ocean, then continue through small villages and timeless rural scenes to the outskirts of Hue, from where we transfer to our city centre hotel. We spend about 2hr 30min on the bus today.
Accommodation: Park View Hotel (or similar)
Hue is often claimed to be the cultural and historic centre of Vietnam and there is plenty to see. We take a guided tour of the city and surrounding tombs. The most memorable site is the citadel, with walls 6mi (10km) in length: inside are the palaces and halls of the Mandarins, and the remains of the Forbidden Purple City, where only the emperor and his eunuchs and concubines were allowed. We then take a boat along the Perfume River to the elaborate tombs of the Nguyen emperors, who ruled Vietnam from Hue. Tu Duc’s Tomb is very elaborate and set in beautiful gardens. Along the way we will visit the Thien Mu Pagoda, which has a centre for anti-government protests in the early 1960s. It also houses the Austin car that transported a monk, Thich Quang Duc, to Saigon in 1963 where he burned himself in protest against the president. The photograph of his self-immolation was printed in newspapers around the world. In the afternoon we will board the Reunification Express for the overnight ride to Hanoi, 428mi (688km) to the north.
Accommodation: Overnight train
We usually arrive in Hanoi in the early morning and stop for a local breakfast and a stretch of the legs, before we are met by our bus for an approximate four-hour drive to Ha Long Bay. This is one of the most beautiful sights in South East Asia with around 3,000 limestone peaks rising directly from the clear emerald sea. We cruise among this amazing karst scenery, stopping to kayak in the sea (weather permitting), allowing us to get to places inaccessible by boat and enjoy a seafood lunch on board. We overnight on board in twin share cabins with private facilities.
Accommodation: Overnight boat
Visit Me Cung cave and enjoy further time cruising the many islands of Ha Long Bay. We then return to Hanoi in the late afternoon. This charming city contains many beautiful old buildings and the atmosphere is completely different from that in Ho Chi Minh City, mainly due to the much more conservative nature of the northern Vietnamese. Also, unlike its industrial counterpart, the centre of Hanoi has a faded charm with broad tree-lined avenues dating from the French period, plus attractive lakes and pagodas. In the evening there is the option to enjoy a water puppet performance.

It’s been an unforgettable cycling adventure through Vietnam, but this morning marks the last breakfast of the tour. It’s a great opportunity to reflect on all that you’ve seen and achieved and, perhaps, to start planning your next big adventure.

View Details
The accommodation on this trip is wonderfully varied. We stay in unique hotels (mostly three/four-star) for nine nights and a laid-back tropical island resort for two nights. We also spend one night on a junk-style boat cruising Ha Long Bay and, finally, have one night on the Reunification Express, a sleeper train that takes us from Hue to Hanoi. Below are a few of the standout accommodations on this trip.
Upgrades are available on this itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details.
Whale Island Resort
Our two-night stay on Whale Island is regarded as a highlight for many, though it is relatively basic. We stay in thatched bamboo bungalows, each with mosquito nets, fans and private bathrooms. The simplicity of island life and a secluded spot makes it idyllic, but be prepared for it to be a bit different to the hotels used for the rest of the trip.
Ha Long Bay cruise
Board a traditional junk-style boat to cruise among the magnificent limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay. Each of the twin-share cabins has air conditioning and a window out to sea, while the boat has a rooftop deck with chairs – this is where most of our travellers tend to gather for views over the bay. There’s also a dining room with glass windows so we can continue to admire this extraordinary landscape during lunch and dinner.
Reunification Express
Our sleeper train takes us from Hue to Hanoi – a classic journey in this part of the world. It’s an essential part of the tour, linking two special destinations without resorting to flying or a lengthy coach trip. However, trains in Vietnam are not luxurious and it’s best to come prepared to maximise your experience – we’ve found extra warm layers to combat the air conditioning and ear plugs can provide a little more comfort! On the sleeper train, you may be sharing a compartment with members of the public depending on how the seats are allocated. The trains here are safe but, as with any trip, we recommend you keep valuables with you. Snacks are normally offered on board and most trains have Western-style facilities, but some are equipped with squat toilets.
Worth knowing
Venture deep into the Mekong Delta, where traditional life is still shaped by the ebb and flow of the waters. This immersive adventure takes you straight to the soul of the Delta: drift along the canals on a sampan fishing boat, meet skilled silk weavers, scale the sacred Sam Mountain for sunset views, and witness traditional life in action at Long Xuyên floating market. Along the way, and with the help of your expert tour leader, you’ll also share meaningful interactions with the local people, encounters no guidebook could arrange.
The detailed itinerary is here, or speak to your sales representative for more details.
Rediscovered enmeshed in the Cambodian jungle in 1860, Angkor, the ancient capital of the powerful Khmer empire, is one of the finest archaeological sites in the world. Built between the ninth and 13th centuries, the wonderfully preserved sprawling complex of temples and palaces is on a par with any world monument, with magnificent towers, sculptures and bas‐reliefs.
The detailed itinerary is here, or speak to your sales representative for more details.
This trip is rated Activity Level 3 (Moderate) and classified Road. For more information on our trip gradings please visit our Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.
Terrain and route: Road surfaces are mostly well paved. The route is generally flat with some undulation with the exception of Dalat and the Hai Van Pass. Vietnam can be very hot and humid, which can make cycling more demanding at times, but rests and water are readily available. You should be comfortable riding in traffic during parts of the itinerary.
This is a busy trip that involves early departures from hotels on cycling days; anyone not wanting to cycle all day can use the support vehicle.
Please be advised, that on any of the cycling days, if your leader feels the itinerary is running behind schedule and has concerns about arriving at the hotel at an appropriate time, they may ask some or all members of the group to finish their riding for the day and transfer to the support vehicle. This will ensure the group still arrives on schedule around the approximate expected arrival times communicated to the group in your daily briefings with your leader.
E-cigarettes and vapes: These are banned in Vietnam with strict penalties, including large fines and imprisonment – we strongly recommend you do not bring these with you.
Start hotel: Victory Hotel Saigon, 14 Võ Văn Tần – 141 Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa Street, Võ Thị Sáu Ward, District 3
Phone: +84 28 3930 4989
Recommended arrival time: You can arrive at any time today. There will be a welcome briefing around 6pm at the start hotel
Airport: Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN)
The start hotel is approximately 25 minutes’ drive from the airport. We provide free arrival transfers to the start hotel from the airport for all customers.
We provide free departure transfers for all customers to Hanoi Airport (HAN) from the end hotel.
Please note, unless specified otherwise, the transfers will be to the start (or pre-tour) hotel and from the end (or post-tour) hotel and will be on the date on which the tour starts/ends; transfers to other hotels in the same city and/or on different dates may attract an extra charge. Transfers should be booked with your sales representative at least two weeks before the tour starts.
There are no mandatory vaccination requirements; however, tetanus, polio, typhoid, hepatitis A and diphtheria vaccines are all recommended. The Travel Health Pro website also recommends having a rabies vaccination for this trip, as cycling is considered a higher risk activity.
Additionally, the risk of malaria is slight on this trip, but you may wish to consult your doctor for further advice. Dengue and zika, both mosquito‐borne viral diseases, are known risks in places visited. There are currently no vaccines or prophylaxes available. We therefore strongly recommend you take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites.
Methanol: The FCDO warns travellers to be cautious of methanol poisoning when travelling in destinations visited on the trip.
UK passport holders normally do not need a visa to enter Vietnam for visits up to 45 days, while those with a US or Irish passport normally do need a visa to enter. Visa requirements for EU citizens vary by country.
Please note, visa requirements often change and it is your responsibility to obtain any required visas for this trip. Therefore, we recommend that you check with the nearest embassy or consulate of your chosen destination(s), including any countries you may be transiting or transferring through.
Some local governments provide guidance on what visas their citizens need. To help, we’ve gathered a selection of useful links below.

Thanks to the tropical climate, the long coast and the gigantic range of mountains, Vietnam is blessed with numerous varieties of culinary offerings and consequently maintains its reputation as one of the healthiest cuisines in the world that still packs a punch with delicious, fresh and fiery flavours.
Vietnamese food relies on fresh fish, vegetables, rice and a myriad of verdant herbs and spices; lemongrass, ginger, basil and lime all play an important role in the cuisine. The Chinese and French influence is felt throughout the country where you are just as likely to be offered a banh mi (stuffed baguette) as you are a hot steaming bowl of pho (noodle soup).
Each dish is prepared with the Asian principle of Wu Xing in mind (the five elements); meaning that the perfect combination of spicy, sour, bitter, salty and sweet is the ultimate aim. Be sure to also seek out the national beverages; Vietnamese coffee is served iced and sweet with condensed milk, a real sugar and caffeine hit, and beer hoi (local beer, brewed daily) is served on most street corners in the north out of large plastic jugs that are perfect for sharing.
Food is cheap in Vietnam and you can generally avoid the spicier food if you wish. Western food is readily available almost everywhere.
Vegetarians are well catered for but please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests. Please note that in South East Asia the availability of certain specialised products for restricted diets, eg gluten-free or dairy-free, is minimal or non-existent and we strongly recommend you bring these specialised dietary items from home.
You may find it beneficial to bring ‘cycling snacks’ with you from home if you have high-energy bars or gels that you like to use during a ride.
For those who wish to contribute, a kitty is normally arranged – fresh fruit, nuts, biscuits and local snacks are all provided from the snacking kitty along with homemade lemonade if the season is right.
The weather will be hot and humid throughout with temperatures during the day usually 28C-34C (82F-93F). It is only a little cooler at night. There is quite a range of seasons between the north and the south: the south up to Hue has a distinct dry season between December to April and then a rainy season from May to November when it tends to come in short heavy bursts with bright sunshine in between. Hanoi is cool in autumn, and even gets chilly between November and February (with drizzly rain).
There is no ideal time to visit Vietnam; it is quite pleasant at any time of year, though due to the shape of the country it is unlikely the weather will ever be perfect for the entire duration of any trip.
Please be aware that the boat trip on Ha Long Bay can be subject to short-notice change if certain adverse weather conditions develop during your trip. These could occur all year round, but especially in monsoon season (from October to April). Boat trips on Ha Long Bay are governed by the local authorities who are authorised to make appropriate safety decisions. If your Ha Long Bay trip is affected by adverse weather, this could either result in a reduced excursion on Ha Long Bay for your group, or less likely, the need to re-arrange the itinerary if it is not possible at all to go out on Ha Long Bay. While this is not a frequent occurrence, our local team and leaders are well equipped to handle such situations and have long offered appropriate options to groups in the instances where this may occur.
If you go to Cambodia for the Angkor Wat extension, the weather will be hot and humid all year round. The dry season is late October to May and the monsoon is normally between May and October; though there is an obvious transitional time between those settled periods.
The dry season is as it sounds, with hot days and generally clear skies, though you can expect the odd shower. The monsoon is characterised by short, sharp bursts of rain and is generally overcast all day though this does not detract from the enjoyment of the place; you just need to take an umbrella or buy a cheap local poncho.

First and foremost the success of this cycling holiday was down to the Leader LAM NGUYEN and his support , the back marker doubling up as mechanic and the bus support driver . We were without doubt in safe hands . We were kept fully informed as to what was...
Four really …. Ha Long Bay - An amazing and beautiful place with the limestone peaks. We were fortunate that the weather for both days was beautiful and blue skies and calm seas . We were able to see this in all its glory and also to Kayak in the waters The Cu Chi Tunnels- again an amazing place and experience and to hear the stories Boat cruise from Whale Island and snorkelling and swimming in the beautiful clear seas Finally , inspired by all the Vietnamese people in Ho Chi Minh City on scooters. It was amazing !!! . I never tired of watching the people on the scooters. Many carrying all description of things and / or with two or three passengers , including children !!!! An amazing sight . No picture adequately show how it truly is !!!
The Group Leader , LAM NGUYEN , was excellent He led the group really well . He got to know all the members of the group quickly and helped everyone when necessary His instructions for the days were clear and it was good when they backed up with the Daily Ride Plans . He described the routes , during the days , clearly paying particular attention to safety when necessary…. “No Dominos” being his description and perfectly described what he didn’t want to happen. There were no accidents throughout the trip …. when you consider there was 17 in the group this shows he ran it perfectly His knowledge of Vietnam of the places we cycled and visited and of the history was very extensive . This made for the trip to Vietnam to be really interesting and memorable. Yes … Lam was an excellent Group Leader , and as said ably supported by the mechanic and bus support driver
Go for it !!!! Do not be put off by the trip notes where reference is made to the times spent on the bus . Whilst it can be a few hours there is always plenty to see thereby giving you a full appreciation of Vietnam
This was my first Exodus cycle tour and an amazing way to get a real feel for Vietnam - I absolutely loved it. We did it as a family with our 19 and 21 yr old daughters and it was a huge success all round. From the first meet we...
Probably completing the Hi Van Pass climb in really challenging heat, and then again the 30km decent a few days before was pretty inspiring
Our group leader Lok worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly and couldn't have been a nicer guy, as well as being very professional and informative .
Try and spend a couple of days in Ho Chi Mihn city before the start and in Hanoi at the end - both really interesting cities and Choose this tour it's a cracker!
We cycled from Ho Chi Min to Hoian. It was an incredible adventure
Completing the Hi Van Pass on a cycle.
Loc Pham was knowledgeable and patient. He was well organised and made us all feel looked after.
Non really, it was so well organised. If I did it again I would probably arrive the day before it started.
My husband and I usually go on self guided bicycling vacations. Choose this one because its the route I wanted without any planning hassles. It was a great choice. It was fantastic that we had a group leader, named Son, and his team Lee, Tee and Saow, who planed every...
As we rode uphill, up the pass, everyone was waiting and cheering on each rider as they made it up. I was also inspired by all of the nice riders that were in our group. Nice getting to know all of them and their stories. Truly wonderful people
I would rate Son 20/10 if I could. Perfect leader. Always smiling, always organized, always safety first. He organized his team very very well also. I dont think the trip would be as fabulous as it was without Son.
Make sure you have some riding experience before you book. There is a long downhill, some traffic and a couple of longer days. Even if you have an E bike you still need that experience behind your belt
We have just returned from this amazing trip. Vietnam certainly lived up to and possibly exceeded our expectations. Vietnam is such a beautiful country - a true feast for the senses, so vibrant and joyful. The Vietnamese people are truly warm, friendly and engaging. The cycling landscape was very varied...
Being part of such an encouraging and caring team.
Son Nygugen is simply the best guide we have ever met. He has just the right balance of professionalism, skill and organisational skills coupled with such care, humility, calmness, kindness and humour. We felt so safe and looked after by him. Nothing was too much trouble and Son went above and beyond with his help, support and care for the team. This must have been one of the hardest trips to navigate and lead as unfortunately on top of my accident 11 out of the 17 in the group caught a virus. Son showed nothing but concern and care to each individual and provided any practical support needed. He truly is a hero and deserves nothing but praise. Thank you Son for being such a special person.
Be a confident and experienced cyclist, be prepared for the most awesome experience and hope and pray you are lucky enough to have Son as your leader.

Cycling from Saigon to Hanoi allowed us to experience the stunning landscapes such a Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hué, lush paddy fields as well as quaint villages. Pedalling through the villages enabled us to experience first hand the friendliness of locals. How can we forget the delicious food we had...
Riding through remote villages, groups of children laughing and waving at us as if we were in a race...In that moment, I realized that adventure isn't just about the destination: it's about the unexpected connections along the way. Travel is not just about landscapes. It's about the people who make a place feel alive.
Exodus is very lucky to have Lam as the group leader. He always had the interest of the group at heart. Lam was always checking that no one was left behind on the roads. At every stop, he made sure we were hydrated, allowed time for us to visit "a happy room" or a "happy bush"and be ready for the next stretch.Lam along with the support group: Saow the bus driver, Xiu the mechanic and Trang the truck driver, gave us confidence to push forward. With Lam leading the way, and the mechanic and bus driver closing the group, we never felt alone on the journey.
I would go back to Vietnam in a heart beat!
I loved this trip, a great way to see Vietnam…helped enormously by our excellent guide and great company! I broke my wrist going for a walk on the day off cycling so missed a week of the tour in hospital. Our guide lam took me to hospital and waited with...
All
Lam was funny, patient and very informative! Helped me through my accident and made me fell calm and safe, Thankyou Lam!
Book, nothing not to love… just don’t fall!
unforgettable experience with a fantastic group of people.
Cycling through quiet paddy fields,shrimp farms and out of the way villages.
Couldn't fault Lam,Organisational skills,knowledge of country and attention to detail outstanding but best of all was great company and fun.
Fantastic trip with wonderful variety.I am not a regular cyclist and was very glad I booked an e bike !
This is a busy fast paced trip that covers Vietnam from bottom to top. My husband and I loved the journey. The cycling was fabulous though challenging at times with the heat and humidity. The morning starts are early, and the day quickly fills with many "xin chaos" from the...
We really enjoyed all the cycling routes and even coming down from Hai Van pass in the monsoon like rain had its own beauty. My favorite afternoon was cycling through the small paths through the rural areas dodging the water buffalo.
Lam Nguyen and all the support staff were exceptional. This trip has many moving parts and an itinerary that includes bikes, buses, boats, trains, and kayaks. The fact that 17 people were seamlessly guided through 2 weeks for this with a minimum of chaos speaks to a lot of behind the scene organization. We really appreciated that the check in at the hotels was prearranged and within minutes of our arrival we had our room keys in hand. The cycle breaks were frequent, well timed and there was always plenty of the signature ice cold lemonade, snacks and fresh fruit. We enjoyed Lam's ever cheerful Xin chao and " short stories" that explained the next leg of the trip. At first I was concerned that I might find the time in the bus long but usually I was happy to sit in the AC and rest while I took in the passing countryside. Lam was also good at giving us some information and insight into the parts of Vietnam we were seeing. Thanks for that Lam!
We did the Angkor Wat/Cambodia extension before the cycle trip and I would recommend both the trip and doing it before you start cycling to get some time to acclimatize to the climate and time zone. As Canadians we required a visa to get into Vietnam. We had done this at home and it is simply a matter of sending in the information and $35. What we did not notice however that despite sending a copy of his passport, two letters in my husband's name were inverted. On noting this the Cambodian airline staff would not let us board our flight from Phnom Penh to HCM city. We were able to get a "15 minute urgent visa" for my husband from a business in Hong Kong and catch a later flight but all this was stressful and very expensive. So just a tip that if you need a visa for Vietnam triple check the spelling of your name. As others have mentioned if you have the time arrive in HCM a day or so early and spent some extra time in Hanoi at the end of the trip otherwise you really won't have time to see much of either place. Once again if time allows and you have the interest try and read a bit about the recent history of Vietnam. I was born in 1958 and as a child growing up heard a lot about Vietnam but never really understood what the conflict was all about. Thanks to this trip I now can put this information in context. It makes me wonder if in 50 years someone will be standing in a museum In Kiev listening to school groups tour through and marvel at the absurdity of war.
