Without a doubt cycling is one of the finest ways to discover a country where hospitality comes as second nature. Our complete service includes comfortable geared cycles, a support crew and backup vehicle, and nights spent in well appointed hotels where the local cuisine will be sure to delight. Leaving the Hanoi where better than Halong Bay to start this amazing adventure, then heading south to Hue. Pedaling at a steady pace we explore an ever-changing landscape of tranquil highlands, palm fringed beaches and country roads that lead through mango and coconut groves. Stopping at wayside tea stalls the villagers' curiosity often translates into invitations to visit their homes. We also savor the French styled town of Dalat and the bustling, cosmopolitan café culture of Ho Chi Minh City on this unforgettable adventure.
