thoughtfully

I design all of own itineraries, carefully and hard work for each new route. I constantly review my tours to ensure that we offer the best of my experience for cycle. My cycling tour is one of very few cycle tour in Vietnam. If you search in the Internet you will see my itineraries, store, photos appear on some other Vietnamese websites.

 I have been working with some oversea cycling tour in USA, Australia, Europe... But I don’t agreement for Vietnamese travel agent resell my itineraries and bike component, cloth, accessories, bike part, bike hire... That mean they stolen my photos and information. Imitate and steal ideal are a part of life in Vietnam but please be careful with this.

Thank

Joe

Vietnam Cycling Vacation

TRIP HIGHLIGHT

This classic cycle exploration of Vietnam, starts in Hanoi Capital and ends in the Hochiminh city in the south of Vietnam. Along the way we pause to visit the main sites in Halong Bay, HoaBinh, Hoi An, Hue, and finally  Hochiminh city.

What makes this tour special is our route hardly touches the frenetic Highway One, as we ride along quiet or little used roads to discover the real Vietnam. Taking time out of the saddle we have excursions by boat in Halong, and on Mekong river . After cycling through the incredible limestone karst scenery of HoaBinh and Halong bay. We flight to Hue then passing the HaiVan pass to Hoian Old commercial town from 17century.
