Explore Southeast Asia: A Multi-Country Tour 22-Day

This 22-day route runs the length of Vietnam and on into Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, mixing history, temples, and a fair bit of ground covered. You start in Ho Chi Minh City and finish on the beaches of Phuket, with Hanoi, Luang Prabang, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Bangkok along the way.

It's a trip built around big-name sights rather than downtime: the Cu Chi Tunnels, Halong Bay, Angkor Wat, the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. A guide travels with you throughout, and hotels and restaurants are pre-arranged, so the logistics are handled while you take in four countries' worth of culture.

Expect a proper overland-and-flights itinerary, not a slow wander through one region — this suits people who want to see as much of Southeast Asia as possible in one go.
