Life always brings us exciting and unexpected moments everywhere, at any time. However, not everyone has the opportunity to seize them. That’s why Vietnam By Bike was born—to ensure you can experience the adventure of a lifetime.
In recent years, sports tourism has brought incredible fulfillment to individual travelers. I know you are looking for an immersive, experiential journey—one that allows you to truly discover every new land you step foot on. That is exactly why we created our cycling tours. They offer a rollercoaster of life-changing emotions.
Traveling to Vietnam by bike with us, you will enjoy a colorful tapestry of local customs and authentic regional cultures. Stretching over 3,000 km from North to South with more than 3,200 km of coastline, Vietnam’s rich history has shaped people who are resilient, hardworking, and incredibly warm. From sprawling rice fields to vibrant cities, and even hidden corners accessible only by a rustic ferry ride, the harmony of the people, landscapes, and daily rhythm creates a unique charm that you simply cannot miss.
In these charming rural areas, you will ride along lovely, narrow paths bordering vibrant green rice fields. Here, you will meet hardworking farmers. Though their appearances may be weathered by the sun and labor, they create an incredible value for the entire nation: rice. Beyond being a daily staple, Vietnamese rice is now exported to the US, Europe, and non-tropical regions, offering the world a flavorful and essential food source that enriches lives globally.
On a cycling journey with Vietnam By Bike, you will explore, see, and touch the very fields and grains of rice that have shaped our history. You will discover how rice is transformed into traditional cakes, jams, and specialty treats like cốm (green rice flakes) and candies. These are crafted from fragrant, sticky rice by diligent farmers who carry the warm spirit of their homeland. No matter where you meet them, a bright, friendly smile will always welcome you, making you—a traveler from afar—feel instantly at home.
During our meals, alongside a refreshing bottle of barley beer, you will often find cơm cháy (scorched rice crispy). This traditional dish dates back centuries. During times of war when food was scarce, the Vietnamese people refused to waste a single grain of leftover rice. They creatively dried and fried the remaining rice, pairing it with fish sauce so it could be preserved for long journeys.
Today, fish sauce is not just a daily staple; it is a culinary masterpiece that defines the soul of Vietnamese cuisine. It is the secret ingredient in iconic dishes like Phở, hotpots, stir-fries, and stews. Fish sauce creates a rich, savory, and perfectly balanced glaze, elevating the dishes to a level that leaves you craving more—especially when paired with an appetite-inducing drink.
As we continue our cycling journey, you will be accompanied by our dedicated guides and drivers. Along the way, you will connect with locals from all walks of life. While farmers are the heart of these encounters, you will also meet workers, merchants, and even local Vietnamese tourists who are always eager to invite you to taste our special delicacies. Interestingly, you will encounter "singers" everywhere! They are none other than the local people, who love to practice and share their voices anytime, anywhere. This passionate love for singing is precisely why Vietnam boasts such a remarkably high happiness index.
I hope you will have unforgettable experiences in this peaceful country. Don't forget to choose a cycling tour, as a bicycle is the ultimate way to venture deep into the countryside and truly immerse yourself in local life and culture. Vietnam is a country rich in heritage. Missing out on a cycling journey would be a tremendous loss—one that a standard bus tour could never make up for. Once again, we highly recommend traveling by bike, as it is the only way to fully awaken all five senses and enjoy your journey to the absolute fullest.
