About this trip
This 15-day trip runs from Hanoi down through Vietnam and across the border into Cambodia, ending among the temples of Angkor. It's a broad overview trip, covering cities, coast, river delta and ancient ruins rather than settling into one place.
You move steadily south by road, boat and one internal flight, taking in Halong Bay, the old town of Hoi An, imperial Hue, Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta before crossing into Cambodia for Phnom Penh and the temples around Siem Reap.
Guides are with you throughout, and accommodation includes a night aboard a cruise ship in Halong Bay. It suits travellers who want a structured, guided introduction to both countries rather than slow independent exploration.
What you'll do
- Full day city tour of Hanoi
- Overnight cruise in Halong Bay
- Boat trip on the Thu Bon River in Hoi An

Worth it if you value small groups, knowledgeable guides, and seamless logistics. Think twice if you're solo and prefer group socialising at meals.
- Danny and guides consistently exceptional; staff handle border crossings and paperwork without fuss.
- Small groups mean private access: guides know temple entrances to skip tourist queues.
- Solo travellers report meals feel lonely eating alone; 3-star hotels can be outdated despite good service.
- Early starts 7:30-8:30am daily, 4:45am for Angkor sunrise; pack breakfast provided if needed.
