Vietnam & Cambodia Bike Tour – Private Departures and Guided! Get on a bike and explore the beauty of North and Central Vietnam from cities to the countryside. The journey starts in Hanoi, the 1000-year-old capital of Vietnam then continues in the Hanoi countryside, where the mountains and the rice fields form splendid trekking and cycling routes. The next stop is the famous Halong Bay, where some 1900 islands and islets create a spectacular marine landscape of limestone pillars, an idyllic place to enjoy sessions of kayaking and swimming. Then fly to the Centre of Vietnam, home to Hue, the former imperial capital of the country, and Hoi An, the charming UNESCO World Heritage Site. Avoiding the hustle of touristy sites, you will cycle in the serene countryside to discover remote sanctuaries and gorgeous beaches. A journey with plenty of cultural and natural explorations awaits you. The last three days of the trip are spent in and around Siem Reap in Cambodia, the equally beautiful and historic neighbor to Vietnam.
Fly into Hanoi and out of Siem Reap; airport transfers are included.

The trip was amazing and exceeded all expectations! All of the guides and drivers were great, but the ones in Cambodia were exceptional. Thank you, Pure Adventures – this really blew us out of the water!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Vietnam/Cambodia! Highlights: – biking in rural areas, going through villages and fields/paddies was very interesting and just what we were hoping to see. – we were very well supported during the biking. Having a guide was, of course, essential, but there was also a mechanic/assistant riding with us and this came in handy with the occasional flat tire – bikes were in good condition – guides were very thoughtful about our physical condition, especially when we were starting the ride and getting used to the bikes – guides would stop whenever asked so we could look more closely at things or have an explanation – we would particularly comment that our guide, Khai, in Hue and Hoi An was superb. Very informative and knowledgeable. We don’t know how much of the activity is set up by the guide and how much is decided on by the company, but our time with Khai was terrific. If he set up all the activities, then he did a great job! He took us to some unique restaurants and had special treats such as foot massages during a river cruises. At one of the restaurants, we had a cooking lesson, and this was a lot of fun. – In Siem Reap/ Ankor Wat, Rida was very accommodating about what we wanted to see. On the second day there, we felt we had seen lots of temples and didn’t necessarily need to finish the whole “Grand Tour”. Rida adjusted the schedule and picked out the top places to visit rather than seeing everything. This was much appreciated. – the Hotel in Siem Reap (Viroth’s hotel) was exceptional. Probably one of the best hotels we have every stayed at in terms of service. – although not part of the tour, we took a motorcycle “street food” tour in Ho Chi Minh City with Saigon Adventures. It was superb. In a 4 hour tour, we visited many small food stalls and markets, cooked some of our own food, and had a great time. I’m sure there are practical and insurance considerations with including something like this with your tour package, but it really was terrific In HCMC, seeing the Cu Chi tunnels and the War Remnants museum was very worthwhile Could be better/leave it out: HCMC Post office wasn’t very thrilling. The cathedral was under construction and so we didn’t see inside it. Eldora Hotel in Hue was a little odd. Superficially it tried to be a grand hotel, but showed a lot of wear. In Siem Reap, we went up the mountain to see the sunset. This turned out to be a disappointing experience. Not really much to see on the way up and not much to see at the top. Overall, this was a terrific tour. Very well organized. We felt we were very well looked after by Pure Adventures.
