Motorola Walkie Talkies for Cycling Groups
To ensure smooth communication and safety during our cycling tours, we equip our team with Motorola walkie talkies (490 MHz, 16 channels, 8KM range).
Tourists travel to new places to relax and feel happy. They pay money to enjoy their holidays, not to suffer. When people travel, they want to see beautiful places, try local food, and experience daily life in a different culture. They also want to learn about history, traditions, and how people lived in the past and live today. Visiting famous sites helps them understand a country better. Most importantly, tourists want to feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed.
A minimum of two participants is required in order to guarantee a tour departure. This policy ensures that each trip can be operated smoothly while maintaining the quality of service and overall experience for all travelers. If you are unable to find a departure date that is already guaranteed and fits your travel schedule, we encourage you to browse through our list of available trips and choose the date that best suits your plans.
Vietnam has previously been a country known for its war torn past, defined by violence and sadness. The Vietnamese people have been gradually building a new Vietnam, where peace and wellbeing resides and welcomes the world as an exotic travel location. The tourism developments have brought with it an enthusiasm for health, wellbeing and spirituality.
Naast al het eten en drinken, hebben we ook nog de tijd gevonden om fietsen te huren aan 1$ per dag. We zijn er recht mee naar het strand gefietst, 7km van het centrum, waar we zalig een dagje onder een rieten parasol hebben gelegen op een prachtig wit strand met palmbomen. Om nog meer jaloers te worden, kijk vooral naar de foto's. :-)
Nu zijn we een vierdaagse fietstocht aan't doen in de Mekong Delta met Vietnam Cycling Tours. Maar dat komt, uiteraard, in een volgende blog.
We finished our tour with a 4 hour boat trip up the Mekong from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh. Sitting in the back of the boat with the breeze in my face, gazing out at life along the muddy river gave me time to reflect on what a diverse and beautiful world this is. Next stop, Phnom Penh. I could go on, but you get the idea and the pictures speak for themselves. Honestly, if you have ever thought about doing a trip like this do it now. It is accessible to anyone remotely fit.
Most visitors to this area head straight to the nearby Mekong Delta, known for its floating markets, islands, and boat-based transportation. The farmlands don’t see a lot of visitors and the only way to get around is to walk, take a scooter, or cycle along the web of single track paths that connect these farming communities.
Learning the lingo is important. When you’re passing someone from behind and you don’t have something to honk, you shout “Wah-wah, wah-wah!” so they can get out the way.
During February, Blake and I jetted off to Ho Chi Minh City, otherwise known as Saigon or HCMC, for a few days. We were extremely excited about this trip, as we both had Vietnam on our lists of places to visit. With a lengthy itinerary in hand- we set off to explore!
Upon arriving, we checked into our first of two hotels during our stay, Hotel Continental Saigon.
Hello, I’m Mare Schumacher. My husband (Luis) and I took a 12-day bike tour with Vietnam Cycling Tours in November 2023. We traveled from Siem Reap, Cambodia (home of Angkor Wat) to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We rode about 300 miles total.
