Overview

Challenge yourself on this epic 14-day guided cycling tour of Vietnam and Laos. Cycling is a fantastic way to explore Northern Vietnam and Laos. The roads are mostly tarmac, and you're just as likely to pass a herd of buffalo as you are a vehicle. This guided cycling tour takes you through some of the most stunning scenery of Vietnam and Laos, with plenty of challenging rides along the way. You’ll appreciate having transfers some days to shorten distances and/or remove some of the less spectacular parts of the ride. You’ll bike up to high mountain passes, down to fertile valleys and through tribal villages. You'll explore rural areas that few tourists reach, and get a real sense of what life is like in these remote places. Meet local people, enjoy fantastic food, and welcoming homestays, and round the whole trip off in style in one of Asia’s most magical destinations, Luang Prabang. The tour can be customized for you, and prices depend on group size, room types, trip customizations, and date of travel. This guided cycling tour is always run as a private tour for your group only. This tour includes a good balance between comfortable 2-3* hotels, guesthouses, and homestays. Hotels are well located, with comfortable amenities. Homestays are basic accommodation. They allow you to learn about local culture by staying with an ethnic minority family and living and dining in the traditional way.
