About this trip
This is a ten-day cycling journey that takes you the length of Vietnam, from Saigon up to Hanoi, riding an e-bike rather than pedalling every mile unassisted.
The route is built around discovery — you move through changing landscapes, stop for regional food, and get a sense of the country's history and daily life as you pass through towns and villages along the way.
It's a fully guided group trip, with the e-bike taking some of the strain out of long distances so you can focus on what's around you rather than just the ride itself.
What you'll do
- Cycle an e-bike route running the length of Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi
- Pass through rural landscapes and countryside between the two cities
- Stop to try regional food along the route
- Get context on Vietnam's history from your guide as you travel
- Pass through towns and villages and meet local people en route
- E-bike assistance makes this a moderate-effort ride rather than a full endurance cycle
- Covering Saigon to Hanoi in ten days means a steady daily pace with ground to cover
- Departures are available over the Christmas and New Year period
Worth it if you want expert local guides and flexible routing through Vietnam's backroads. Think twice if you're tall, solo travelling, or need reliable e-bike batteries.
- Guides Tung and Kenny provided genuine expertise and encouragement on climbs; routes through Hon Ba nature reserve and 500km total felt genuinely rewarding.
- Tour operator is genuinely flexible: accommodated preferences, shortened rides via support van, sourced local street food based on dietary requests.
- E-bike batteries unreliable; minibus cramped for taller passengers; 14-hour overnight train to Hanoi with no AC, then 8-hour wait for hotel check-in.
- Solo travellers may find themselves cycling alone most days; group cohesion depends on who else books the same dates.
