Discovering Vietnam & Cambodia through the Mekong 12-Day

Twelve days running from Hanoi down through Vietnam and into Cambodia, finishing among the temples of Siem Reap. It's a route that covers a lot of ground, moving from limestone karsts to war history to river life to ancient ruins.

You cruise Halong Bay overnight, sit with the weight of the Cu Chi Tunnels and Phnom Penh's Killing Fields, then slow down along the Mekong Delta's canals and villages. The trip closes with Angkor Wat, including a sunrise visit to the temples.

This is a guided group trip with the details handled for you, so it suits travellers who'd rather focus on what they're seeing than on logistics.
