A fantastic way to see an awful lot of Vietnam in a short time. The itinerary is full-on but not overwhelming – the Exodus rating of easy/moderate is about right. There’s enough time for chilling and recharging your batteries and no pressure if you want to opt out of any activities. Hotels are generally of a good standard – all clean and comfortable, a few niggles, but nothing too serious. The homestay in the Mekong Delta was more basic but again clean and comfortable. The Vietnamese people are extremely welcoming and hospitable. Overall, an excellent introductory trip.
Cu Chi Tunnels
Cu Chi Tunnels Trips
The tunnels of Cu Chi are a vast underground network that formed the centre of operations for Vietnamese guerrilla soldiers – the Viet Cong – during the Vietnam War. As well as providing concealed passages and supply routes, the honeycombed network had living areas, munitions factories and even hospitals. Dug beneath the jungles of South Vietnam, the tunnels covered some 155mi (250km) at their peak.
Many of our Vietnam trips include Cu Chi Tunnels tours, which offer a sobering reminder of the nation’s relatively recent history and showcase the ingenuity and resilience of its people.

Terence Parker Cycling VietnamFirst and foremost the success of this cycling holiday was down to the Leader LAM NGUYEN and his support , the back marker doubling up as mechanic and the bus support driver . We were without doubt in safe hands .
We were kept fully informed as to what was happening during the day and the following day . Lam gave us written details each day in the format “Daily Ride Plans”
This was so useful as there was a lot to take in , could refer to these when saving our ride on Strava and even now , a month after , I use when describing our holiday to friends.
The hotels were all of a good and high standard
The trip notes were very thorough giving lots of information
The daily rides were planned well visiting many interesting places , giving us a good appreciation of the areas we were cycling and the distances cycled were good and achievable
The bike that I had was good , just right for the roads we were travelling on ( I normally use a road bike but the mountain bike worked well)
The stops during the ride were well thought out and worked well
The snacks that were provided during the ride were excellent and plentiful
During the rides Lam , the tour leader , stopped where necessary to give us more information at the right locations
Also , importantly , many happy bushes were found !!!
All in all a fantastic holiday in a fantastic Country
