Loved this unique way to see the real Vietnam - We absolutely loved our 2 day cycling tour of the Mekong Delta with Tung. The whole experience was incredible. Such a special and unique way to see the beautiful countryside and the lives of the local people

A great few days around the Mekong delta - After being met at the cambodia/vietnam border, the next few days were incredibly well organised and enjoyable/fun Some very interesting back roads, showing us about life in the countryside . Kenny was full of information about rural life and culture and ensured that we ate a very range of excellent food

Absolute recommendation – expectations far exceeded! - Our tour with Vietnam Bicycle Travel Co. really exceeded all expectations. The route selection was fantastic: small paths along narrow canals lined with small semi-open houses, through wide rice fields and past beautiful, authentic scenery. You dive deep into the unadulterated rural life of the Mekong Delta. Cycling is the appropriate means of transport for this purpose. Enough fast to move forward, enough slow to pick up sounds, smells and everything around it. A special highlight was our guide Hoang Bi. He impressed and delighted us from the first moment – an incredibly warm young man who offered us a service of the highest standard. He thought of every detail: Drinks, tools, towels, everything was prepared. He adjusted the bikes individually to us, so we were perfectly on the road. Hoang really knows all the ways and even all the hidden detours; if a path was once inaccessible, he knew immediately an alternative route. He explored much of the route himself. This flexibility has relaxed the tour enormously. His humour, sportiness and the many laughter moments together made each stage even more beautiful. At the same time, he is an excellent communicator – open, inquisitive and with great interest in exchange. His knowledge of history and his stories about the country and people made us understand Vietnam in a much more personal way. His enthusiasm for his country is infectious, and his warm manner touched us deeply. We really loved him. In between, some sights were perfectly scattered, so the tour remained varied without ever being overloaded. We were also particularly impressed by how flexible everything was: The length and difficulty of the day’s stages have been adapted exactly to our abilities, and the escort bus would always be ready to pick us up if we needed a break. Another highlight was the food. We ate in lovingly selected, small private establishments and tasted fresh, local specialties – each time a treat and an experience in itself. We were just happy and grateful for this experience in the end. Vietnam Bicycle Travel Co. is an absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to experience the Mekong Delta actively, authentically and with genuine warmth. Karin and Martin, Switzerland Nov. 2025

See the roads less travelled through Mekong Delta by bike and have a culinary journey too! - A fantastic trip with our guide Loc and driver Nhan, both so passionate and knowledgeable about the areas we cycled through. Each section (morning or afternoon) was around 30km with plenty of stops for water, lady coffee, fruit and photos. We were lucky the rain stayed in Saigon so had the cooling breeze and shade along very narrow roads big enough for scooters and bikes only. Safety was Loc's nol concern and the bikes were great for the job. The home stay was a super experience - basic, as expected, and such a lovely family unit. Win was fun and helped us cook a delicious starter for our dinner. Even a mishap with a locked door (which turned into a full-on DIY disaster) wasn't too much hassle for them. Food and cooking was a definite highlight, from a 9 course veggie lunch, through to trying some "extreme" delicacies bought at the local market - all optional and well worth stepping out of your comfort zone to try. We must have tried well over 20 different dishes over the 2 dinners and 3 lunches. The final day boat tour and market visit was fun and gave our behinds a rest before getting back on the saddle to do the last 30km section and travel back to Saigon. Loc was Mr Enthusiasm! Great to chat to, definitely not shy about sharing his views and absolutely passionate about biking and food. He made the trip one of the most memorable organised activities we've done. Nhan was always ready when we needed him, setting up rehydration and snack stops throughout the cycle. He also BBQ'd our market purchases and bought the best durian l'd ever tasted, transporting it in the most innovative way.... The best team support we could have asked for. All in all, this was a fantastic trip, with brilliant guides, gorgeous scenery, professional set-up and unforgettable food.

Authentic mekong delta away from touristy areas. - We had a fantastic team of guide and driver. Phuc our guide is from the Mekong Delta and he was able to bring us to authentic Mekong Delta away from touristy areas. We really felt like we had a unique experience and on some days we did not see any other tourist. And because Phuc knows the area so well he was able to customize the tour so that every day we rode just the amount that we wanted to. We also had some very nice boat tours and ferries etc to round out the experience. Highly recommend this tour!!!

AMAZING! - The guides are amazing and really gave us an authentic experience through small towns and places that not many tourists go. Each day was tailored to how our group (of 20) was going. If people needed extra help they could go in the van for a bit. We had excellent English speaking guides plus a mechanic who rode with us each day. The tour price includes everything except beers so no need to decide on where to go for dinner or where to stay each night! Everything is taken care of. The locals in towns were happy and lots of kids came onto the street to wave. This trip was a experience that we’ll never forget!
