VeloAsia - Vietnam Highlights Tour

More Information

CYCLING ABILITY:

Most of our scheduled tours are designed for all cycling abilities although conditions may vary by destination. A high degree of strength and stamina are not pre-requisites for our trips, although you should be skilled with bike handling and comfortable cycling roads typical of a developing country. If you have NOT traveled in a developing country on bicycle before, you should not begin in Vietnam, but try our Myanmar or Thailand trips. Ask us if this this trip right for you? We would also be glad to put you in contact with past travelers, of all abilities, if you would like more feedback. We can also arrange custom, private tours designed for preferred activity level balanced with cultural and other interests.

LANDCOST:

Please see introduction. Your tour fees cover almost everything, except international airlines, required visas and a few dinners on your own where there are choices (recommendation made). Landcost always includes emergency medical and air evacuation coverage through SOS International which operates clinics in Vietnam and throughout Southeast Asia. All equipment, including imported kayaks and newer model Raleigh USA, Trek and Specialized hybrid bikes are also included in tour cost. Pre- and post-tour travel planning is our pleasure to provide.

ACCOMMODATION:

No surprises, these are the best luxury or three and four-star boutique hotels available, chosen for comfort, character and location — our favorite places.

AIRLINE:

We can assist with securing international airlines. Also click here for Vietnam Airline Travel Information. If you want to use your miles, Cathay is a member of One World Alliance which includes American Airlines.

NOTE:

Our destinations reach far beyond the historical and scenic sites we offer on our itineraries and we encourage you to explore on your own at anytime during the tour. Day trips with the group and riding days are always optional. Additionally, no two tours are the same! The route above will likely differ. We constantly modify our itineraries to keep every tour unique and spontaneous.

GUIDES:

Native cycling guides are the top of their profession have lead trips for a minimum of five years. Cultural guides are native of the area visited (in Hanoi,for example, your guide would be from Hanoi). Guides are critical to the quality of your tour, in each country we cycle there are but a handful of capable ones specializing in cycling with the needed skills. Western guides co-lead specific trips. We would be happy to put you in contact with past travelers regarding your guides.
