Our 16-day Vietnam Explorer and the two-day side trip to Halong Bay take us from Hanoi in the North to Halong Bay and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in the South. Its many ethnic minorities and 2,200 years of history make it rich in culture and heritage. Enjoy bicycling with the locals on quiet country roads.
The tour includes a flight from Hanoi to the ancient capital of Hue, two nights in the lovely town of Hoi An, two nights by the sea at Nha Trang, the temperate Central Highlands, and two nights at Dalat.
As with all our tours, we stay at very comfortable, character places and bike on minor roads. To avoid the highway, we drive part-way most days.
Optional extra includes a leisurely 4-day Mekong Delta cycle tour that starts and ends in Ho Chi Minh City.
