The Best of Vietnam & Cambodia in

Hanoi → Tonle Sap Lake 11 days Up to 15

About this trip

This 11-day route moves through Vietnam and into Cambodia, taking in the best-known sights of both countries rather than trying to cover everything.

You start in Hanoi, with time to take in its tree-lined boulevards and colonial architecture, before heading out to Halong Bay for two days among its islets. From there it's on to Hoi An, known for its old town and food, and finally across the border to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat and the jungle-covered ruins of Ta Prohm.

It's an easy-paced trip built around the highlights, with a mix of guided touring and time to explore on your own.

What you'll do

  • Wander Hanoi's tree-lined streets and colonial buildings
  • Spend two days cruising the islets of Halong Bay
  • Explore Hoi An's old town and try the local food
  • Cross into Cambodia to reach Siem Reap
  • Visit the temple complex at Angkor Wat
  • Walk through the jungle-covered ruins of Ta Prohm
Good to know
  • Partially guided, so some days are led and others are yours to explore
  • Easy pace, suited to families and mixed fitness levels
  • Covers two countries, so factor in a border crossing partway through
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a well-paced, expertly coordinated tour with standout local guides and prime hotel locations. Think twice if you need flexibility—it's a fixed itinerary with tight daily scheduling.

  • Guides are genuinely knowledgeable and friendly; hotel placements are prime—old town Hanoi, beachside Hoi An—with walkable access to dining and sites.
  • Agent Linh and Long Pham provide relentless, instant communication from booking through trip end, handling every request and daily confirmations without slip-ups.
  • Daily itinerary is tightly packed with multiple excursions per city, leaving limited unstructured time despite reviewers' praise for pacing.
  • Signature experiences like dining in the historic Japanese house in Hoi An and Angkor Wat guidance elevate the trip beyond standard sightseeing.
