While Saigon is a vibrant and exciting city, this tour gives you a chance to bike the peaceful countryside as we show you the real Vietnam, only a short distance from the big city and near the Cu Chi Tunnels. The tour departs Saigon at 7:30 am by private van.
Riding comfortable, impeccably maintained bikes with the guidance of a charming, well-spoken local Vietnamese guide, this trip will take you through peaceful villages, to see agricultural landscapes and the daily life of the Southern Vietnamese people. You visit a small, locally owned rice paper factory where spring roll wrappings originate. You will cycle through a beautiful, shaded rubber plantation and learn the history and significance of rubber in Vietnam’s colonial past and contemporary economy.
And finally, a visit to the famous Cu Chi tunnels tops a highly memorable day of adventure and provides some historical context to much of what you will see in your time in Vietnam. The tunnel tour includes a chance to crawl through the historic passageways – and experience life underground as it was just a few decades ago. Bike the Cu Chi Tunnels blends outdoor adventure and recent history in the landscape of contemporary, rural Vietnam.
