This was an excellent trip: tour group leader and support team were superb, hotels generally of a high standard, local restaurants serving really tasty food. The cycle routes for the first two days were rather dull and dusty but after that they just got better and better. Quite a lot of transfer time between cycles but because the temperature and humidity were so high, we were all appreciative of the cooling off time in the air conditioned coach. I think maybe at these temperatures (38C)the cycle rating should be a little more towards the difficult end of the spectrum. That said the back up team provided everything we needed – regular pit stops, plenty of rehydration, snacks (the fresh mango was to die for!) and even chilled wet wipes to the back of neck!
Highly recommended.
Hai Van Pass Off the beaten track villages Cycling in the late afternoon through huge cemetery - so atmospheric. Halong Bay overnight boat - great food, fun kayaking and dancing into the night.
Calm, well organised, great sense of humour. Excellent steers to local restaurants. Chi could not be faulted.
Expect the heat, pace yourself and enjoy!
We had a fantastic holiday. The guys on the trip led by Long Le were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile. The experience was heightened by Longs patience in answering all our questions and guiding us
Cycling in to Na Trang in the middle of evening motorbike mayhem. It was a complete rush but yet very safe as Lee who acted as sweeper watched out for everyone
He was very patient and did an amazing job from early morning to late at night.
Just Do it. Vietnam is an amazing country
This trip exceeded our expectations. We had previously done cycle Cuba and loved it but this trip was better. Everything from the hotels, the glorious food, the mix of cycle days/rest days, the trip leader Long, the endless smiles from children and families as we cycled through their villages and the really lovely group we were part of all made this a trip to remember.
There were 17 in the group which sounds very large but as we all got on, everyone mixed and everyone supported each other, it turned out to be the backbone of why the trip was so successful. The crew lead by Long also made the holiday.
Everyone who attempted it getting up Hai Van Pass including myself as I was one of the slowest. The group stood at the top cheering me on as I reached the summit (thank you everyone)
Long was informative, cheery at all times and just ensured we enjoyed our holiday. He was great.
You cannot prepare for the heat and humidity but just ensure you do some cycling preparation, even it is just getting used to gear changes. You get fitter as the days tick by. The holiday was not as expensive as we thought on day to day spends as you get a lot for your "Dong". A nice surprise.
Amazing trip with wonderful people in an exciting country and the best support team ever. Everything was well organised and we had complete confidence in all the Exodus team. They were brilliant.
When ALL the group who started out on Hai Van Pass reached the top.
Lam did an amazing job. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He attended to our every need with absolute professionalism and good humour. He was very supportive and really fun to be around. His local knowledge was excellent.
It can get quite hot so be prepared.......but it is well worth it.
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,
Gaynor
Lots of it-the downhill 35K and the 10k up, Halong Bay, Hoi Ann, Hanoi
He was excellent-great fun, knowledgeable, fit and could not do enough to make our holiday brilliant
Enjoy
Great country, great leader, lovely hotels, fantastic organisation by Danh, superb group, endless fun and good cycling.
The endless fun provided by Danh.
Fantastic, unusual combination of superb organisational skill, fantastic networking, and a great sense of fun.
Go with Danh!
Excellent cycling, food, scenery, group of people , experiences and very likeable and knowledgeable leader, Lam.
Quite a few. Cycling the back lanes and seeing the locals in their field of crops, also the Van pass both up and down. The food was excellent throughout, Lam taking us to many good local restaurants. The overnight train journey and stay on the boat in Halong Bay together the kayaking to see monkeys on the cliffs of one of the peaks were memorable. The food on the boat was best of the holiday. The hotels were all comfortable but we stayed in two 5* ones which were both magnificent and totally unexpected as part of the trip.
Lam was sociable, knowledgeable and a very good leader. Always enthusiastic, smiling and was the perfect host for the group.
Go & enjoy it. Prepare for the 300 miles of cycling, whilst much was on the flat you still need a reasonable level of fitness, to cope with heat. You are able to have 2 laundry services along the way which are well organised and cheap.
Fantastic tour well organized from beginning to end
Wonderful way to see the country and sample the culture
The team spirit and the support and encouragement of fellow cyclists given to me particularly on the cycle challenge of the hai van pass
Lam was efficient friendly and totally supportive attended to every need of the group
If you are thinking of doing this cycle holiday book now ! All hotels are of a very high standard so everything is provided toiletries towels hair dryers etc
I think this is the best thing I have ever done is was challenging, different and I feel I personally achieved something I will look back on and be pleased I did.
Getting to the top of the hill on the hardest part of the ride, and being cheered in by the rest of the group and escorted by Chi who had come back to meet me. Sailing in Halong Bay very atmospheric, just the sheer fun of doing something so very different.
Chi was brilliant such a sense of humour, very knowledgable and good fun
Take as little as possible and just enjoy the whole experience you won't regret it. Get yourself fit to get the most out of it. I don't mean cycling for miles before you go but being cycling fit helps. I did gym sessions a couple of times a week and maybe one longish cycle ride a week.
We selected to do the Cambodia extension before the Cycling Vietnam tour. We also added a few extra days in Cambodia and in Hanoi at the end – well worth it. The time spent around Siem Reap visiting the sights at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom is amazing plus having a knowledgable guide to provide information as well as the best times for each of the many sights to see is essential. The hotel was changed from orginally planned, but it turned out better as the location was closer to the town center – City River Hotel.
The Cycling tour from Saigon to Hanoi was great as we lucked out in having a small group – can’t imagine it with more than 12 people as the schedule is pretty tight and the guide has to keep you on track. The hotels are better than we expected with very helpful staff everywhere. The route is varied from nice smooth roads by the coast to almost cart tracks in the country, but it provides for such a close up view of the Vietnamese countryside. Support from the guide, mechanic, bus and truck drivers was exceptional as they ensured that the group was safe, fed and watered, mechanically sound and ready for each day’s adventure. It is a good combination of biking, sightseeing and water activities. Also the train ride from Hue to Hanoi is fun and a good way to further interact with other travelers.
Visiting the many sights around Angkor Wat and listening to some of the stories of our cycle guide. Also the museums associated with the killing fields of Pol Pot around Phnom Penh.
Both our guide in Cambodia and on the Vietnam cycle tour were excellent. We learned much more than the basic information of specific temples or sights, but insight to life in general in both countries. In addition the support of all the drivers and mechanic was great - timing was good and always with a smile.
If you are planning the Cycle tour up Vietnam you should spend a few extra days at the beginning and the end to see both Saigon and Hanoi and also get over any jet lag. You don't need lots of clothes as its a very informal tour and washing is easy. Also adding the Cambodia tour is worth it if you have never seen the Khmer sights.
