    Certainly cycling was at the top of my list-great bikes and routes plus a terrific support team that anticipated our needs and was eager to offer help. Our guide was really wonderful-a delightful, knowledgeable leader who added so much to the journey. Plus the group was just great- we came together quickly and enjoyed each other's company. What a delight.

    Halong Bay, the food, cycling meant that we couldsee things at a slower pace, look at the flowers and plants. We had lots of stops to take photos, look around local markets.

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      I am little bit scared about the quality of some hotels. I hope there is really a certain level, which is important for me. Even when the costs are reasonable, the tour shouldn t be impacted by bad overnight experiences. Day 5 with more than 1000 m uphill seems also to be challenging. Is there a chance to pick up for some meters the bus in case of ... ? Do we always have the same bikes ? Or do we get for each day after bus exit a new bike from the location ?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2025

      The majority of accommodations are rated as comfortable, with 9 nights in a comfortable hotel, 2 nights in premium hotel, 1 night in a comfortable junk and 1 night on a simple overnight train. There will be a backup support vehicle on day 5 of the tour, and on most routes during the tour where possible, you will also have the same bike throughout the tour carried by the support vehicle.
