Overview

A 12 day, small group tour, fully guided, starting in Ho Chi Minh City and ending in Siem Reap. With eight days of cycling, between 30-60km per day. More fun than fitness, more culture than cols. This twelve day Vietnam and Cambodia cycling holiday is a small group tour, using a mixture of bikes and private bus transfers to cover some of the most spectacular landscapes and cultural sites of Southern Vietnam and Cambodia. Getting around by bike is definitely one of the most pleasant and and local ways to experience these countries, and we have endeavoured to create a cycling itinerary that takes you to both classic sites and off the tourist trail. On this trip we use comfortable geared bikes and cycle at a steady pace, with a support crew on hand at all times. So you can enjoy the landscapes at a gentle pace, but also take a break with the support crew at any time. As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts. Our cycling tours in SE Asia have all been designed with sustainable travel principles firmly in mind. On tour, we travel in small groups of maximum 16 cyclists, led by a locally employed and trained leader, to minimise our impact on the communities we visit. We also aim to maximise the financial benefits to local and remote village. We do the latter by purchasing and preparing food locally and providing home stay opportunities, where appropriate, which provide the local villagers with an extra source of revenue. We assist the home stay visits by providing the required sleeping needs for our travellers to the communities. With the assistance of our local guides we distribute donated clothing, books & stationery supplies to the children living in remote hill-tribe villages. We also support our local partners clean-up program in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay.
