Let us at the Australian office of Vietnam Bike Tours help you explore South East Asia the best way possible - by bike!

Biking has to be the ultimate way to explore a new destination. There is no better way to get close to people in the countryside or to take in the extraordinary sights, sounds and smell of Indochina and beyond. Vietnam Bike Tours has been a recognised leader in arranging biking tours in the region since 2010. Our mountain bikes are top quality, lightweight bikes that can be adapted according to t

he terrain and needs of the rider. They come in all sizes to accommodate everyone, including children. Our biking guides are a very special bunch. Not only are they enthusiastic guides but they are also biking enthusiasts equally knowledgeable in bike maintenance as they are in the culture, history and geography of the countries we visit. All our bike trips are fully supported with air-conditioned back-up Van/Buses offering relief from the heat and tired leg muscles as well as carrying first aid, drinks, spares and tools. For serious mountain bikers, easy-going family tours or charity challenge events in Vietnam and beyond, Vietnam Bike Tours is the expert!

the NEW Australia Sales Manager

Xin chào, my name is John Anderson from Melbourne, Australia, a 71 year old retired accountant & passionate cyclist, and the NEW Australia Sales Manager for Vietnam Bike Tours (VNBT) from Feb 2020. I felt honoured and happy to be invited to take over this position from Andrew Edwards, based in Adelaide, who decided to retire at the end of January. He did a great job showcasing Vietnam & Vietnam Bike Tours offerings to the Australian market & I have followed his posts. My initial cycling experience in Vietnam was in 2010 with my wife Lynne. Then I wanted to custom build a whole country bike tour in 2012, “Vietnam - Saigon to Sapa” led by two great cycling guides from Hanoi who are my friends & VNBT to this day. That tour was the start of my love affair with Vietnam, and desire to understand the War History after French colonialism. Then followed our “Amazing Myanmar Cycle Tour” of 2014, plus a 6-day Vietnam War History Stopover Tour following. My group’s next Asia challenge was the BIG ONE in 2015 when we invaded and conquered “China – Big, Bold, Brassy & Beguiling”. Many unexpected highlights, more noisy people than Vietnam and great cycling in the biggest cities & stunning countryside.

Then over 4 years ago I was introduced to my now good friend Ngo Trong Huy. He helped me set up and run my “dream” multi-country Asian bike tour “4 Countries in 4 Weeks - Saigon to Bangkok & Laos - Vientiane to Luang Prabang ''. I had planned my own longer route with my friend, a former Vietnam freelance tour guide. She sometimes enjoyed Sunday Bike Rides and introduced me to Huy as the man to get my job done. And the exquisite organization of Ms Khanh Ly, now close friend with Thanh & little Tom. I call her Wonder Woman in fun because she is so good at her job. And she delivered us an AMAZING 5 STAR BIKE TOUR! We had wonderful guides in each country, super cycling & fun every day while seeing many of the iconic & unique sights of South-East Asia.

Sadly during the planning phase of this tour, my wife Lynne was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and the tour had to be postponed for 12 months. She was well enough for us to go ahead in March 2017 and I am eternally grateful for her support. Ly & Huy continued to support me through Lynne’s illness and her passing in March last year. Now as a single, recovering widower I have this new job with my friends at Vietnam Bike Tours that I never expected. I want to renew my passion & fitness for cycling & cycle touring, and get on with my new life in which Vietnam will play a big part. I will do my best to promote the offerings of Vietnam Bike Tours to the Australian market & to my network of cyclists in the Hash House Harriers around Australia.

Huy and I also have another project to work on and that is help Vietnam be more GREEN & CLEAN – to create awareness & action to clean up a lot of the plastic & rubbish, including the beaches, for a more tourist appealing, hygienic environment. As I have seen over the years, Vietnam has been losing the plastic & rubbish battle and everyone needs to play a bigger part in winning that war. Because it is necessary to win back the tourists now that have become disappointed or scared away, and improve general hygiene and disease control.
