About this trip

Sixteen days across Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, covering three countries that shaped this part of Southeast Asia's history and culture. You move from the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City through the Mekong Delta, up to the old town of Hoi An and the capital Hanoi, then on to Luang Prabang in Laos and finally the temples of Angkor in Cambodia.

It's a sightseeing-heavy route built around the big names — Cu Chi Tunnels, Halong Bay, Angkor Wat — rather than off-the-beaten-track exploring, so it suits a first visit to the region when you want to see the highlights without planning the logistics yourself.

Hotel options run from 3-star to 5-star, so you can pick the level of comfort that matches your budget.

What you'll do

  • Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels and explore Ho Chi Minh City
  • Cruise the Mekong Delta and see traditional village life
  • Wander Hoi An's old town and take a boat along the Thu Bon River
  • See the ruins of My Son Sanctuary
  • Tour Hanoi, including Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and the Temple of Literature
  • Sleep aboard a junk boat in Halong Bay, then visit Luang Prabang and Angkor Wat
Good to know
  • Covers three countries in 16 days, so expect a lot of moving between cities
  • Structured around guided city and temple tours rather than free time
  • Choice of 3, 4 or 5-star accommodation to suit different budgets
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you value seamless logistics and knowledgeable guides. Think twice if you're a solo traveller expecting a consistent travel group or crave adventurous local food.

  • Logistics ran like clockwork: airport pickups, transfers, boats, planes and buses all coordinated flawlessly by staff.
  • Guides consistently praised for English fluency and knowledge, though a few Ho Chi Minh City guides had weaker language skills.
  • You'll join different group mixes each day, not travel with same people throughout; solo travellers may feel isolated.
  • Only one full day in Laos due to late arrival and early exit; some travellers wished for more time there.
