Tailor made and escorted tours to Vietnam and Cambodia
A small group adventure holiday combining the delights of Vietnam and Cambodia in 16 days. Highlights are cruising in in Halong Bay, cooking in Hoi An plus incredible Angkor temples of Cambodia.
The landscapes of Vietnam vary from vibrant green rice paddies, limestone sea cliffs to great rivers which provide a backdrop to a culture that is completely fascinating. Much of life in Vietnam is lived out in the streets, and in the great cities of Saigon and Hanoi we are able to feel part of this endless spectacle of daily life. But we also have time in places where the pace is slower, such as magnificently scenic Halong Bay.
In and around Saigon you will find reminders of Vietnam's most recent history whilst Hoi An preserves remnants of a rich heritage spanning the centuries. In Cambodia visit one of the world's great surviving archaeological wonders, the temple complex of Angkor.
