Phnom Penh to Saigon

Our ride with Brett from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City was one of the most memorable trips I have ever done. It was the perfect balance of physical challenge and authentic exposure to the off road realities in Cambodia and Vietnam. We have cycled in many countries but nothing even vaguely compares with this experience. I was particularly moved by our guide Brett’s commitment to showing us the roads less travelled in these countries and his gentle and non-intrusive encouragement of all of us to see these places as he sees them and to follow him on this physical and social journey while carefully attending to our safety. A real odyssey on so many levels. We are still baking in the afterglow.

Wow Wow Wow!!! I just returned from the cycle Cambodia to Vietnam trip Dec 2017 I have done many of these types of adventure trips but none of them even came close tot his experience. Brett will make sure that you have an epic, life-changing experience! More importantly, Brett has his HEART AND SOUL into making sure the trip is helping to make a positive impact on a social level in countries that are truly struggling. Visiting the NGO’S was sure a highlight and very eye opening. When you take a tour with Brett.. yes, you cycle! But you are also helping to contribute to positive change in country that REALLY need the help. In addition, Brett was in contact with me personally from the start. He replied to my questions and got back to me on my concerns. Other bigger companies did not do this! I really appreciated the personal communication. It is very comforting especially when travelling solo and visiting such foreign countries. If I had just one last thing to say .. I would use the NIKE slogan, ‘JUST DO IT’.

We have been fortunate to go on a journey of a lifetime from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh. 500km in total. Brett took us right out of our comfort zones and revealed a world we didn’t know existed. We cycled through a maze of interesting back roads and pathways that revealed a side of Cambodia and Vietnam most westerners would never see. We enjoyed the cycling part immensely. It was a challenge at times but so worth the experience. Brett is a wonderful humanitarian who introduced us to 4 NGOs along the way. We will go home and share with others the knowledge we have gained about the NGOs we visited. He is an incredible leader and organiser. Nothing seems to rattle him. We knew we were always in safe hands and felt great confidence in all his directions. All the best for [the tour operator] and hopefully one day we will join you again.

Overall outstanding trip! Cycling route, length, pace, and variety was perfect for the length of the tour. The people were great, and while some of this is random, I believe that you Brett, set a tone and culture that helped the group meld nicely. Your day to day organisation was also good, which engendered confidence and allowed me to just relax, ride and enjoy. Having Cambodian guides/driver/mechanic is also key to a great experience and all these guys were capable, friendly and a huge asset. The FOOD was awesome, your F&B background definitely added to our experience. I particularly like the family style meals where you would order, as it gave us variety we might not otherwise have, and also reduced the stress and hassle of ordering, splitting bills etc. The NGO and museum visits really did open my eyes to the challenges of this country, and that enhanced the trip immensely.

Meeting so many wonderful people from around the globe and sharing this epic cycling journey together was awesome. The cycling was a challenge and an incredible adventure from beginning to end which far exceeded my expectation! Hats off to Brett for his skilled leadership, his encouragement and support throughout; nothing was ever a problem or too much trouble! Looking forward to my next [tour operator] adventure.
