This tour takes in three of Southeast Asia’s most diverse and fascinating countries. From Saigon we head into the Mekong Delta, riding quiet back roads over canals. Our entry into Cambodia is by boat as we head up one of Asia's great rivers, the Mekong, to Phnom Penh. Cycle on toKampong Thom to visit temples before we head to Siem Reap and more famous temples of Angkor. After exploring Angkor we head to the faded colonial city of Battambang before heading to Thailand and the beautiful beach.

    I've just completed the Saigon to Bangkok tour & it totally rocked! Three totally different countries & three great adventures! The guides were top class & made my trip & the other members that little more special. Thanks.

    We laughed all the way between Saigon and Bangkok. There is no better way to see the country than by bike. It would take you weeks to find your way in and out of the Mekong Delta along all those tiny jungle trails.
    A great group from 6 different countries. Everyone loved it and weeks afterwards we are still emailing pictures to and from. I can't wait to get back on another tour possibly North Vietnam and Laos. Although I really fancy Bhutan. So much to do so little time

    A very enjoyable tour, we definitely got our money's worth.

    Cycling through the Mekong delta region on those wonderful cement paths was just terrific. Swimming (and eating) at Rabbit Island was a great way to end our tour.

    Many thanks to Spice Roads for giving us a lot of fantastic memories.

    Meet in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) for dinner at the enchanting Temple Club Restaurant.

    We ride to the Angkor Temple complex before starting the Grand Circuit, stopping at each major temple area before riding back to Siem Reap.
