“We had an exciting and challenging 17 days organised by Art of Bicycle. Exciting because we were taken off the beaten tourist track and shown the real Vietnam. Challenging because of the heat and humidity. However, our guide (Lok Ly) and his assistants could not have been more careful in looking after our wellfare ensuring that we welcomed every day as new adventure.”
“A great way to experience the country with our fantastic guide Loc. Magnificent accommodation each afternoon after a day touring the back-blocks, villages and paddies. We chose the hottest time of year but Loc organised plenty of water, iced coffee breaks and great lunches in local restaurants. Organisation was faultless, bikes were great. Easily exceeded our expectations.”
“We have just completed a 17 day adventure, biking in Vietnam with a group of four friends. Wow! Everything was so well organised, our experience was seamless. Our guide, Loc, was exceptional. He was fun, informed, and most importantly, kept a very good eye on us all, anticipating our needs before we did.
Special mention too for the top-class accommodation. The hotels were glorious oasis’s at the end of hot days on the bikes. The only exception was the Cocoland, which was suffering from low occupancy and staff shortages it seemed.
Our e-bikes were very good - great battery life and plenty of grunt.”
“"We are avid cyclists who just completed a 9 day Vietnam Coastal Cycling Trip with Tom. We have been on many tours, but it really comes down to the attention to detail which can really make a trip fantastic. Tom did this in every regard and went beyond what would normally be expected. He listens to you and watches what you enjoy and adapts according. To the refreshments or food of course, but also to the bike maintenance, and what you enjoy in way of cultural sites. He also shares a part of himself, his life and what experiences he has gone through, which only enriches you. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour and Tom specifically."”
“Vietnam by bike is the way to go! We were able to experience places and parts of Vietnam that would not be accessible any other way. Our guide did a great job of keeping us safe as we rode in a variety of settings; mountains, beaches, rice paddies, oyster farms and fish farms. Highlight was the children yelling "HELLO!!" as we rode through their village.”
“This was our 3rd cycling vacation with Art of Bicycle Trips. They are extremely reliable and provide a great local experience if you are looking to cycle in Asia. The guides are local, the food is as authentic as it gets, the accommodations are flexible. We prefer their premier level hotels and they have arranged some great ones.”
“An excellent tour down the southeastern coast of Vietnam, from Hue to Nha Trang. Well done. Nice hotels. Lots of small towns and villages included on the rides. Viet was an EXCELLENT guide.”
“Tony was our Tour Guide and Hiro was our driver. We could not have had better people to travel with, they were so caring, considerate and super informative but also (very important to us) great fun! Our trip was unique as it was just my husband and I on tour and so we were able to tailor our journey day by day based on how we felt with the heat but I feel that the Art of Bicycle Trips would look after anyone and everyone as best they could. The accommodation was amazing (close to 5 star), and far superior to anything we expected for a cycling tour (but very gratefully received at the end of a long, hot day). We would recommend the Art of Bicycle Trips to anyone.”
