  • Cycling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. This 17-day trip covers some of the most amazing scenery and sites in Vietnam.

This tour has everything – mountains, beaches, national parks, UNESCO sites, trains, riverboats, and inner-city tours. Our favourite cross-border cycling tour is the 16-day trip from ‘HCMC to Siem Reap to Bangkok’. There is no better way to take in the extraordinary sights and sounds of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. You’ll get to see the famous Ankor Wat temples, too!
