Vietnam & Cambodia
Journey through Vietnam and Cambodia's iconic cities, temples, tunnels and Halong Bay's limestone karsts.
Embark on an 18-day journey through the heart of Vietnam and Cambodia, a route that weaves together ancient temples, poignant war history, bustling cities and dramatic natural scenery. The adventure begins in Siem Reap, gateway to the legendary Angkor temple complex, before continuing to Phnom Penh, Cambodia's riverside capital. Crossing into Vietnam, travellers reach Ho Chi Minh City, where the Cu Chi Tunnels offer a powerful glimpse into the underground world used during the Vietnam War—visitors can walk the tunnels themselves and sample cassava and tea, the wartime staples of the guerrilla fighters, while the War Remnants Museum provides further historical context. From the south, the journey moves north to Hoi An, a beautifully preserved trading port known for its lantern-lit streets and tailoring shops, before arriving in Hanoi, Vietnam's historic capital with its blend of French colonial architecture and traditional charm. The trip culminates at Halong Bay, where thousands of limestone karsts rise dramatically from emerald waters, offering an unforgettable finale to this cross-border expedition. Throughout the tour, travellers benefit from private vehicle transport with a driver, comfortable hotel accommodation, English-speaking guides and entrance fees to key sights, ensuring a seamless and immersive experience across two of Southeast Asia's most captivating countries. Free time is built in for personal shopping and exploration, allowing each traveller to discover their own favourite corners of this remarkable region.
