What’s the best way to explore South East Asia? From a bicycle, of course! With the wind in your (helmet-covered) hair and the tropical breeze on your face, this 13-day cycling adventure will take you through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Cycle out of busy Ho Chi Minh City and venture through the Mekong Delta, past riverside villages and alongside paddies. From bustling city streets, experience local culture in rural villages and rub shoulders with your hosts at a local homestay in the Mekong Delta. Walk and cycle around the UNESCO World Heritage site of the ancient Angkor complex and see countless temples, rice fields and villages as you uncover new landscapes. After long days of riding (with an average of 60 km a day), you’re sure to work up an appetite for the region’s best food (and a couple of cold beers) – it’s all about balance, right?

Excellent trip full of unique experiences. Great way to see more of the countries than just the traditional sights or big cities. Tour was very well organized and Rit was a great tour leader. Also the local teams were all outstanding

If you want a through view of Cambodia, with some tasters of Thailand and Vietnam, this is the trip for you. The riding is fun and the food is awesome.

I totally loved this trip. Cycling was fun, interesting and so well supported. Not too hard or too easy. I felt really safe. Definitely hot but many breaks built in to ensure you stay hydrated. Wonderful trip

For me, this tour was a great introduction to SE Asia. In Vietnam and Thailand, you won't see any real 'must-see' sights, but the scenery and cycling in less touristy regions are exactly what makes this trip so special. The transition between each country and the change of crew was always excellent. This is a truly wonderful trip.
