The morning ride is about 25 km on countryside rural roads, going through dragon vegetable farming, pennywort…….and corn plantation, and ride paddy fields. You will have many stops on the way so you can visit the family workshop, have photos taken, and enjoy coffee and fruit at a local market on the way. We will have lunch served at a nice restaurant in My Tho city.

Anyone had been to Can Tho and seen a busy floating market and will never forget it! A boat ride will take you to the floating market before your biking starts. We cycle through Phong Dien’ countryside; the area owns many small natural creeks across many villages.  After a fruit stop at Phong Dien, we continue to pedal our bikes on smooth concrete by the river to Thoi Lai District. There are many things to see when you ride along with villages; grocery boats advertising plastic household goods by loudspeaker. Cargo boats selling sands for building, small, fast boats bring pigs, ducks to local markets, and many small ferries taking passengers to further side. In the afternoon, we cycle on narrow paths, pass thatch house on stilt by canals, see sampan boats used along long tails engines to carry farm products to home, to markets. The primary means of transportation over here are waterways. We will stop at Bang Lang storks before transferring to Long Xuyen city in the late afternoon.

On your last day on the bike, adventure is travel across farmland, where people live in remote villages where boats are the primary means of transportation. It was a tranquil area, and not so many people live here before 1975. But today is an excellent place for bike adventures because governments encouraged people from major cities to move to this place to make the settlement. It’s the chance for us to see the new way of local living. By cycling in the afternoon, we will have a leisurely ride along a beautiful back road. Stop at Tra Su forest for a short boat ride before enjoying beautiful rice paddies and blue skies through Tri Ton's mountainside on country back roads to Tri Ton, to Ba Chuc village. It was a killing field before. Spend time walking around the memorial before a transfer taking us to Ha Tien town. Tour end!

Hi Van, We had a great trip - our guide Thang was great, everything went like clockwork - we did a lot of eating of all sorts of food we never would have tried on our own or known what to order as we told Thang we were interested in trying foods, he introduced us to iced coffee and we had one or two every day. The bikes were good, minivan driver excellent and as we expected our bums a little sore at end of day 3 but what we expected. Our three days were excellent but I strongly suggest you change the last night hotel. I tell you this as I also own my own business and feedback is important - I strongly think you need to change the hotel. We will write good report on trip adviser and will recommend you to others as we did not see another westerner on the days we were on the bike as you promised. 16 Jan 2012

Dear Kieu

Thanks for your email. In the mean time back home and back to work.

We had a great time on our cycling trip, an exceptional experience:
- Phuc Le is indeed a great guide - took very good care of us, was flexible, shared very interesting information, knows his way around for nice backroads, etc.
- Very good driver - Always there on time and we felt very safe
- Coordination (you ;-) ) was also exemplary - responsive, patient, clear communication
- Great Trek bikes
- First two hotels were very good (the second one was the best one of our whole trip through Vietnam...), the last one was less
- Most restaurants were well selected, except for the one on the first night which didn't make us feel at ease - but as said, all the others gave us a good introduction to the local cuisine and its specialties

Bottom line, the 4 days with Phuc Le and Vietnam Backroads were the best part of our trip through Vietnam. Thank you very much !! 13 - 14 - 15 - 16 July 2019

Amazing trip surpassed expectations.
Bikes good quality and well maintained- we even travelled with a bike mechanic, and bikes were cleaned and serviced daily. Our guide was Phuc (happiness in English ) he was excellent, very knowledgeable and good fun- and lived up to his name.
Lunch was provided every day and always tasty the best was the authentic Vietnamese.
Day 1 small van trip and 25km cycle to Chu Chi tunnels, cycle through rubber plantations and stopped at rice paper making industry.
Day 2 we started cycling the Mekong Delta, another 45mins In van then started cycling, through rice fields, dragon fruit plantations and magic mushrooms !
Dinner was at the homestead - which was lovely with a swimming pool and air conditioning in room.
Day 3 delivered some different scenery and again our guide was great taking lots of photos of our whole family. Our hotel in Can Tho was smart and the city very busy, it was good to have the evening meal booked.
Lovely restaurant - but again we all preferred the traditional non- touristy cafes ! The next morning we went round the floating market - very interesting.
Day 4, great cycling we were all glad of our padded cycle shorts ! This is the night in Long xuyen where our best meal was - great food, and lovely eating with happiness(our guide). 25 - 26 - 27 - 28 - 29 November 2019
