Full Itinerary
Discover the incredible diversity, delectable cuisines, dramatic histories and natural beauty of Cambodia and Vietnam. Delve into the dramatic Khmer legacy in Phnom Penh, view Vietnam's colourful history on the busy streets of Saigon and explore the colonial-era amongst the architecture of Hanoi. This trip offers places of breathtaking beauty, from the beaches of Nha Trang and the backwaters of the Mekong Delta, to the jungles of Cambodia and the wonder of Halong Bay. Add to that a mix of friendly locals and age-old traditions for the ultimate Indochina experience.

Days 1-2 Phnom Penh

Experience the richness of Khmer civilisation in the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda. Uncover a darker period in Cambodian history at S-21 and the Killing Fields.

Days 3-5 Siem Reap/ Angkor Wat

The first glimpses of Angkor Wat emerging for the surrounding jungle are truly unforgettable. Explore these extraordinary ruins and, with the help of a local guide, unravel the history behind each structure.

Days 6-7 Ho Chi Minh City

Dinner at a local restaurant is a delicious introduction to Vietnamese cuisine and a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels is a chance to experience wartime Viet Minh life.

Days 8-9 Mekong Delta

Travel along the Mekong and enjoy renowned delta hospitality on a riverside homestay. Early next morning, visit the Cai Be Floating Markets.

Days 10-11 Nha Trang

Cycle around scenic Nha Trang then swim, snorkel and sample the day's catch on an island boat trip. With its harmonious mix of mountains, islands, sea and sand, there's nothing left to do but soak it all up and relax.

Days 12-14 Hoi An

Once a major trading port, Hoi An still retains a distinct old-world feel. Perhaps visit one of the city's famous tailors to get a new outfit custom made.

Days 15-16 Hue

Enter the gateway to Vietnam's royal past on a tour of the Imperial Citadel. Cruise the Perfume River to the elegant tomb of Tu Duc, the last emperor of independent Vietnam.

Day 17 Hanoi

Explore the Old Quarter and see an entertaining water puppet show.

Day 18 Halong Bay

Sail turquoise waters past soaring limestone peaks on a leisurely overnight cruise. If the weather is warm, why not take a dip before tantalising the tastebuds at a sumptuous seafood feast.

Days 19-20 Hanoi

The adventure ends among the cafes, alleyways and bustling streets of Vietnam's capital.
