Itinerary Details
- Day 1Touchdown time
Step into the wonder that is Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City as it’s known to the locals. The capital of the mesmeric Vietnam is where you first set foot and it is quite the introduction to a whole new land.
You're free to explore the city on your own today; discover the sites, smells and sounds of Vietnam's former capital. Round off the day with a welcome dinner at a beautiful Ho Chi Minh Restaurant.- Northern Hotel
- Dinner
- Day 2River Riding Time on the Mekong Delta
Following your first night in Vietnam it is time, of course, for your first day of riding. Begin by transferring to Ben Tre – the gateway to the Mekong Delta.
Twisting and turning alleyways are synonymous with Vietnam and you will explore your fair share of them here. While gliding past sugarcane fields and banana plantations you may find yourself thinking of the National Geographic pages and not realise that this is a reality.
The day concludes when you reach Tra Vinh following a ferry crossing and it is here where you will rest your head for the night.- 40.4 miles

- Day 4From floating markets to looming mountains
Kick things off with a visit to one of Vietnam’s world famous floating markets at Cai Rang. Having sampled the delicacies, take a transfer to get the cycling started. At this point new vistas enter the fray as mountains begin to come into view as you approach Chau Doc. Cambodia is getting nearer by the second, however, you still have one final important stop to take in the Killing Fields.
This historical landmark is where a brutal massacre of 3,000 Vietnamese people took place in 1978 and it is an important point for a stop. Having taken in this momentous place, leave Ba Chuc and continue the journey to Chau Doc along beautiful countryside lanes. The sunset at the nearby Sam Mountain is quite spectacular if you fancy a hike and your energy levels aren’t totally sapped.- 43.5 miles

Vietnam is done! Next up is Cambodia and you will be glad to hear that this day allows some rest as everyone takes a boat into the capital of Phnom Penh. This allows for you to take in yet more beautiful views without the need for pedalling!
Step off the boat and it’s back to your trusty bike as you ride off into a new land alongside your local guides. The first day involves heading north as you take in a new countryside before stopping off for historical visits to the Cambodian Killing Fields and the Tuol Sleng Prison.- Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel
- Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
- Day 6Current and former capital delights
It's rare to explore two capitals in one day but today you can. A late start affords the chance to take in Phnom Penh’s sights before riding your way to Phnom Pra – the former capital of this country. If your legs are up to the task then it’s just a few steps to the top (400 or so, with a view that makes the climb worth it!).
The vistas here are truly astounding. It also gives you the chance to see just how far you've cycled. Round off this day by transferring a few hours to Kampong Thom where you'll stay for the night.

- Day 8Reveling in the history of Angkor Wat
A unique opportunity of this tour is the chance to explore the world famous Angkor temple complexes. Set off by riding to the entrance of Angkor Wat. Immediately the beauty of the place hits you particularly when you see Ta Prohm. It's renowned for its role in the Tomb Raider films, and left just as it was discovered by French conservationists with vast root systems of the jungle enveloping the gasping temples below. The Buddhist temple oozes in atmosphere and will likely leave you lost for words. You won’t regain any of those words soon as you catch the first glimpse of Angkor Wat itself – the largest Hindu edifice on the planet. The seventh wonder of the world is bestowed with incredible carvings and is a subject of fierce national pride in Cambodia. Following this magnificent tour of the temple complex you'll ride back to Siem Reap.

Following the splendour of Angkor Wat, it is back to the scenic and slower pace of the Cambodian countryside. No less gorgeous, you'll spend the day cycling towards Banteay Srei, where another famous temple resides which plays a key role in appreciating the Angkorian Era.
Later on, put the bikes to one side and turn to your hiking boots as you go through the jungle uphill and see some astounding submerged riverbed carvings and a luscious waterfall. There will be some cycling time as you return to Siem Reap by car. For dinner you can head out and choose your own restaurant.
