Reviews of 3 week Bicycle Tours
- Hanoi Motorcycle Tour to Saigon via Hoi An, Da Lat, Nha Trang on Ho Chi Minh Trail and Along Coast
16 days on the road from Hanoi to Saigon. Can’t recommend highly enough. The whole operation from initial query to riding into Saigon was handled with the best service. Công was an expert guide and always there to look after whatever we needed. I’ll be recommending to friends and family and I’ll be coming back for more.
- Vietnam South to North: Saigon to Hanoi Cycling Tour
Super organized trip from Saigon to Hanoi. Everything was just perfect- the bikes, the food and the accomodations. I saw and learned a lot about this interesting country. The two guides Truong and Minh are just amazing- helpful, motivating and very professional. The motivation was sometimes needed as there are many climbs to master. I can highly recommend Mr. Biker!
- Cycle Vietnam
I am reluctant to give an excellent award as I think it is overused by reviewers. However, in this case I have no hesitation. What makes it excellent is the level of organisation that goes on beforehand and during the tour. On a cycling tour much depends on the back-up team of the truck driver (for the bikes) the bus driver (for the riders) the mechanic who rides behind and most of all the tour guide who leads. I have met many tour guides in my time but none have come close to Dahn. Needless to say he lectures in tourism and has won an award for his tour guiding. It was his ability to deal with everything from tired bikers to chefs and waiters in local restaurants that make him special. But most of all it was his ability to bind a number of strangers into a cohesive group with his personality and sense of humour that made the tour wonderful. The standard of the bikes was very good as was the level of comfort of the hotels and the overall quality of the food. What is best of all is the backroads taken through rural landscapes, villages and small towns where most tourists do not get to see. There have been discussions about the level of fitness to enjoy the tour; the average pace was about 20-22k and if you can keep that up for an hour or two you will be fine. We were told emphatically that we had to bring our own helmets which we did at some inconvenience and loss – we donated them at the end. Others on the tour did not and they were supplied.
What our customers ask about 3 Week Cycling Tours & Bike Trips
What destinations and highlights are covered on a 3-week bike tour?
Three week bike tours take you across multiple countries with lots to see along the way. On the Balkans route, you'll ride through Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia, stopping at places like Lake Ohrid and the Bay of Kotor. If you choose Vietnam, you'll pedal from Hanoi down to Ho Chi Minh City, checking out Halong Bay, the old town of Hoi An, and villages in the Mekong Delta. You'll sleep in comfortable spots like the Sky 2 Hotel in Tirana and Hotel Gjallica in Kukes, so you can really get to know the local culture while having a nice place to rest after riding.
When's the best time to take a 3-week bike tour in Asia?
The sweet spot for timing depends on where you're going. In Southeast Asia (Vietnam and Cambodia), aim for October through March when temperatures are a comfortable 75-85°F with less humidity. For India's Rajasthan region, October to March works well too, though nights in December and January can get chilly at 40°F. If you're headed to Mongolia, plan your trip between June and September when it's usually 60-80°F. One tip from experienced travelers: skip Southeast Asia's rainy season (June-September) and avoid India's scorching summer (April-June) when it can hit over 104°F.
What kind of places will I stay at during a 3-week bike tour?
You'll mostly stay in nice 2-3 star hotels and local guesthouses, with some unique spots mixed in. Take the Vietnam Bicycle Travel tour - you'll split your nights between hotels like the Comodo in Nha Trang and family homestays in country villages. Over in the Balkans, you'll rest up at places like Hotel Millennium in Ohrid and Hotel Tradita in Shkodra. As one traveler told us: "The places we stayed were picked for their handy locations near the good stuff, and they struck just the right balance between comfort and local flavor."
How far do you usually ride each day on a 3-week bike tour?
Most days you'll cover between 30-100 kilometers (19-62 miles), usually landing around 50-70 kilometers (31-43 miles). The Vietnam South to North tour gives you a good idea - some days you'll do longer rides like the 100km stretch from Da Lat to Nha Trang, while others are shorter like the 30km cruise around Hoi An's countryside. The routes leave plenty of time to stop and explore, and there's always a support vehicle nearby if you need it. One rider mentioned: "The daily distances felt just right, with lots of chances to stop for photos and chat with locals."
Where do most people go for 3-week bike tours in Southeast Asia?
People love riding Vietnam's coast from Ho Chi Minh City up to Hanoi, exploring Thailand's beach areas near Bangkok, and biking around Cambodia's temples in Siem Reap. Travelers especially enjoy cycling through the Mekong Delta and stopping at markets like Cai Rang, riding around Angkor Wat, and pedaling along Thailand's coast past fishing villages. The ocean views from Hai Van Pass in Vietnam and the coastal roads between Kampot and Kep in Cambodia get lots of praise for mixing great scenery with just enough challenge.
What are good places to do a 3-week bike tour in Asia?
You can't go wrong with Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, where you'll ride along the Mekong Delta and pass ancient temples. Mongolia offers something totally different - picture yourself cycling across wide open grasslands and camping under starry skies. In India's Rajasthan, you'll pedal through vibrant villages and see incredible places like the Taj Mahal. For breaks along the Vietnam-Cambodia route, travelers recommend stops at the Nesta Hotel in Can Tho and Victoria Chau Doc Hotel. Just remember the weather varies a lot - you might get 86°F days in Southeast Asia while Mongolia can drop below freezing at night.
