    You will begin your tour in the historic city of Hue, which was the last seat of Imperial power in Vietnam. A representative from ABT Self-guided will meet you at your hotel to give you your equipment and explain the road conditions in Vietnam. They will also show you how to use the provided technology. You will then go on a loop ride to explore Hue, including its old citadel walls, the Perfume River, and beautiful French-style buildings.

    Once you leave the city, you’ll ride on quiet country roads with only a few cars passing by. The scenery will change from rice fields to sandy dunes, and you’ll see farmers’ homes turning into fishing cottages as you get closer to the ocean. You’ll pedal through some hills along the coastline, enjoying tasty Vietnamese food to keep you going. When you reach the vast Cau Hai Lagoon with a backdrop of mountains and a view of the ocean, you’ll find peaceful surroundings with mainly local Vietnamese families. Be sure to try our recommended local eateries for a satisfying meal on your journey.

    oday, you’ll start cycling on small hills to get ready for the challenging but beautiful climb up the Hai Van Pass. The road up the mountain offers great views of the ocean and lagoon. Since most traffic uses a tunnel, you’ll enjoy a quiet ride with a gradual slope. The descent on the other side takes you along the coast into Da Nang, a busy city. After passing through some suburban areas, you’ll see Da Nang’s famous bridges and visit the Lady Buddha monument.

    Finally, our representative will meet you and take you to Hoi An, an ancient town that has survived floods and wars, maintaining its charm and character.

    Taking a day to rest will get you ready for the upcoming cycling and give you time to discover the deep history and varied architecture of this old town. You can explore the modern and traditional food options and even head to the nearby beach with a short ride. Follow our app for recommendations or go for a stroll on your own. If you’re eager to cycle more, you can also try our specially planned 28km ride around the city and countryside.

    Today, you’ll ride from Hoi An to the ancient My Son ruins, where you’ll find Hindu temples in a jungle valley. My Son was once a significant center for the Champa kingdom and is now a UNESCO site.

    Your cycling route will take you through picturesque countryside, on quiet back roads that are only accessible by bike. You’ll pass villages and rice fields, meeting friendly locals along the way. After a day full of smiles and history, you’ll return to Hoi An in the evening.

  • 6

    Leaving Hoi An, you’ll see local vendors bringing fresh produce to the market from nearby farms. The ride today goes through small fishing villages on a peninsula where fish are farmed and homes line the windy shoreline. Pedal south towards Tam Ky, the capital of Quang Nam Province. After visiting its main sights, head back to the ocean and take a ferry to Tam Hai Island, where your Vietnamese hosts at a lovely resort are waiting for you.

  • 7

    Today, you’ll ride on a busy main road, but it’s well-paved for a smooth journey. After passing through industrial areas, you’ll return to quiet coastal roads and villages for a seafood lunch.

    Next, you’ll cycle to Quang Ngai, a university town. Along the way, you’ll see the Son My Memorial, which remembers the tragic My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War.

    In Quang Ngai, our team will meet you for a transfer back to Hoi An. If you plan to stay or continue south, we can help with the equipment. If you’re heading to major airports, there are daily flights from Da Nang or Chu Lai airport.

What a great way to see more of Vietnam! Our tour guide Linh looked after us well and knew a lot about Vietnam. The bike ride was tough for us beginners but we managed to finish it. The team was always patient and made sure we were safe. Big thanks to Linh and the team for going the extra mile! If you get to go with this team ask them for food recommendations!

I booked Cycle Thailand to Cambodia in 2023. Stephen at Amazing Bike Tours was excellent, very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. In particular, our local tour guide Tom was outstanding. He was essential to connecting with local village people, visit remote villages, and explore exotic food. Can't wait for my next adventure

We spent 12 days with Amazing Bike Tours from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh via Battambang. Our tour was perfectly tailored to our route and physical condition and on the last day, we were safely transported to our beach accommodation in Sihanoukville. The organization was flawless from start to finish. The accommodation was also comfortable, allowing us to rest well after eventful days. The tour provided great value for money. The experiences were unique and could fill two vacation reports! The bikes were perfectly adjusted to our needs, with well-maintained gears and brakes. If there was a minor issue, the guide promptly addressed it. The minivan support was modern and very comfortable. The driver was excellent and we felt safe!
