DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT…

The Grasshopper Shikoku tour is a trip of a lifetime. Cycling through local villages and beautiful landscapes with a fun group and thoughtful guides created the perfect combination of culture and activity. Being relatively new to cycling, I found some of the mountain climbs to be especially rewarding and memorable. I was impressed with the routes Grasshopper designed, taking lesser traveled roads and always making a point to experience local Japanese food and culture. The hotels along the way were excellent, with hot springs to help relax after an adventurous day. Highly recommend anyone, no matter your fitness level, or whether you're solo or in a group, to join this tour if you can, you won't regret it.

We had a fantastic five days with Grasshopper in Northern Laos. We hiked and biked in the most stunning scenery. We stayed in outstanding hotels. We spent a day on a boat going down the Mekong. It was an amazing experience and our guide looked after us beautifully.

Having never been on a Grasshopper tour before I was unsure what to expect. The experience far exceeded my expectation with a nice mix of cycling and culture. Exploring small quiet roads was a delight which typically included stunning views. All your needs were taken care of as a van follows you around with your gear, plenty of food and drink as well as the usual cycling tools. We also go to visit temples, experience paper making and even made soba noodles. The accommodation was a mix of traditional Japanese as well as more international-style hotels all of which were very clean and pleasant to sleep in. The food was Japanese and delicious although the breakfasts became a little monotonous. It would have been nice to have cereal and a good cup of coffee or two occasionally. Our guides were fantastic and lots of fun. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were constantly making sure the bikes were clean and ready for use. I brought my own bike and they even cleaned this for me - how good is that? I would highly recommend this tour and would happily sign up for another Grasshopper trip in the future.

Shikoku Waratah’s Tour September/October 2022 A great tour organised once again through Adam - my sixth with AdamShikoku is a wonderful place to cycle - spectacular scenery, mainly quiet “car free” roads. However there were some long hills- the great scenery. And the food was fantastic. The local team - led by Norman (an American who lives in Japan - fluent Japanese), Reiko his wife and the expert mechanic and Dale were the best team I’ve had anywhere. Nothing was too much trouble everything just “happened” We had a great group of riders - all of us only knowing an half or less of the other riders; but the group just « clicked ».

This was my third time with Grasshopper and I cannot recommend them enough - every member of the team - from those helping with bookings to the exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate guides, to partners (accommodation, restaurants) is amazing. If you want a memory that's personalised and special, Grasshopper Adventures is the right team to deliver it.

Roohi

Wow, what an amazing experience! Sri Lanka is a special place and experiencing it from a bicycle was just awesome.

Robert

Booking a trip with Grasshopper means you can be sure you're going to get passionate knowledgeable guides, great food, caring attention, comfortable accommodation and a trip that will provide wonderful memories you will share over and over again. You'll also meet friendly, interesting people, some of whom will become friends for life.

We did the Vietnam Ocean road self-guided ride in February 2020. It was a wonderful experience from the briefing to the final pickup. We are both in our 70s and fairly fit. We ride often at home. We found the ride challenging but very doable. The scenery is very varied and super interesting. We really appreciated getting out into the countryside and small communities and felt that we saw a side of Vietnam that could be seen in no other way. At first we were a little nervous about heading out into the countryside with no Vietnamese, but quickly realised that it was no problem at all. With a few words of hello, thank you, and goodbye we found everyone welcoming and helpful. We stopped in several coffee shops where no English was spoken and had no trouble getting what we wanted with the aid of the Grasshopper guide and Google Translate. Riding in traffic in towns can be a bit daunting at first, but we very quickly realised that Vietnamese drivers and motorbike riders are very bike conscious. Look around, signal, go with the flow and we were soon navigating busy intersections with no trouble. Navigating the route with the Wahoo Grasshopper provided was very easy too. That said, I got a local SIM (very cheap) and also used RidewithGPS on my phone (Grasshopper provides a phone mount). We like to be able to zoom in and out and even take an impromptu side trip which RwGPS makes easier, for example, en route between Hue and Vedana we went down a side road to the ocean which would have been a bit more difficult to find and do with only the Wahoo. We also enjoyed all the overnights and wished we could have stayed longer at some of them. The fishing community at Vedana Lagoon was fascinating and we could easily have enjoyed the resort for another day. We had three nights in Hoi An and opted for a further two at the end and really enjoyed our time spent there as well as the day ride out to My Son. We could have easily stayed another night in Tam Hai as there is lots to do there to fill a day, not to mention just relaxing at La Domaine. Last but not least, the Grasshopper support was super from the briefing to the final pickup. We set up a WhatsApp connection and they were flexible with both time and location of pickup. We opted for the hybrid bikes and were glad we did. Although there are a few bumpy stretches and the occasional small track, in our view, none of the route was really mountain bike territory and we appreciated the extra efficiency of the hybrids. There is so much to see and do on this ride we would easily do it again.

We enjoyed two Grasshopper trips in Thailand: the 4-day Mekong Expedition Tour and the Cruising the Coast to Samui tour. As we have experienced before, the trips were very well planned and organised. The bicycles were in excellent condition and any mishap (flat tyres) was quickly addressed with minimum delay. The overnight locations were of good quality and in beautiful locations. Snacks, food and drinks during the day and in the evening were aplenty, giving us the chance to enjoy foods we otherwise wouldn’t have tried. Interesting stops were planned to meet local people and to visit attractions and monuments.The staff was friendly, capable and knowledgeable. We were even surprised by their attentions on our birthdays. We can recommend Grasshopper and their tours.

Kevin

Fantastic 2 week tour of Cambodia and Vietnam for our family of 2 adults and 3 children aged 17, 15 and 12 years. Friendly guides with good English showed us around, explained the sights and gave insights into life in their countries. Accommodation, dining, travel and local tours all arranged so that everything ran smoothly. Cycling definitely the best way to see the wonderful countryside with scenic and mostly low traffic routes selected (except Saigon where the motor bike tours were the way to go). The distances were very manageable with regular breaks.
