  • Cycle Vientiane to Luang Prabang - 11 Days reviewer 1
    · January 4th, 2025
    The tour from Vientiane to Hanoi was unexceptional. I expected riding in Laos to be more quaint and peaceful, but it mostly takes place on dusty, pothole-ridden highways shared with large trucks. Van transports are lengthy and very uncomfortable. Roads in Vietnam are better. Destinations are mostly tourist attractions and the social aspect minimal. Website description is outdated. The most troublesome to me is SC’s business model. They don’t operate teams on the ground, but rather subcontract from another western-owned outfit. As a result, very little profit is shared with local guides. Please consider this before embarking on this tour. There are better ways to see these fascinating countries and meet their kind and beautiful people.

    Fantastic itinerary, lots packed in. Great scenery, cycling, historic sights, food and hotels. Very dedicated local team. I particularly enjoyed the optional mountain hike and hot air balloon ride. Team went out of their way to assist with my extension to Vietnam after the trip had ended. Some slightly long driving legs between the cycling on very poor roads.

    What a superb, insightful, humbling and impressionable trip. Tom P in Laos was first class, cycling with us and co-ordinating everything locally for us with the help of a Laos guide and Laos driver. No request was too much and the agility around 9 days over 365kms of cycling was excellent. He knows the country really well and was able to explain plenty around the various NGOs we visited, how the country operates and lots of info around the wonderful countryside we cycled. Accommodation was a good mix of local and higher grade hotels in the Luang Prabang and Vientiane. Temperatures in Oct/Nov hit 32 and 33 degrees so stay hydrated and the sweeper van was always there to help if we ran out of puff.

    Exceeded my expectations. Well organised, a mixture of cycling to suit a rider at any level. The combination of Organised trips and ad hoc stops to have a swim or seem something off the beaten track really added to the overall experience.

    This Laos tour was my 3rd trip with Social Cycles.Based on previous trips i expected and got another excellent tour. An inaugural event so there were unknowns as far as attractions, accommodation,terrain etc. The tour went into pretty hilly remote areas. It wasn't going to be easy. One needs to be fairly fit. Accommodation, Certainly not 5 star but sufficient with good beds. Food was great and plentiful. Can't wait for tour no 4. Backup driver Toh was brilliant. Luang Prabang is a lovely city & a great place to start a venture like this. Try to get there a couple of days earlier to enjoy Elephant riding and Kouang Si waterfall. Note; it can be cold. Thanks Brett.
