Your JOURNEY Take in stunning Southeast Asia with this incredible guided tour across Vietnam and Cambodia.

Offering 12 nights of adventure, five distinct locations, unique accommodation, a selection of included meals, an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise, and more - it’s an adventure like no other.

Stunning Southeast Asia ITINERARY DAY 1 Arriving in Ho Chi Minh, a driver will meet you at the airport and escort you to the Bay Hotel – where you’ll stay for two nights with daily breakfast. After checking in, you’ll have the rest of the day to yourself.

Explore Ho Chi Minh and take in its historic charm and exquisite cuisine.

The Bay Hotel, Ho Chi Minh Recently opened in 2016, the Bay Hotel is a four-star, modern accommodation choice with lots of great facilities and amenities.

Rooms come with a complimentary minibar that is refreshed with a selection of free treats, while select rooms feature great views over the city. The in-house restaurant offers authentic dishes for lunch and dinner, as well as a well-stocked international breakfast. The hotel also has a rooftop pool and enjoys a central location in District 1 – close to a bevy of museums, nightlife, and restaurants.

DAY 2 After breakfast, you’ll be picked up for your first group tour. Arriving at Ham Luong dock, you’ll embark on a river cruise down the famed Mekong River. As well as taking in the lush scenery, you’ll stop at various workplaces to watch locals use materials like dried coconut and activated charcoal in both their work and some incredible art pieces. You’ll be taken around town by rickshaw, eat an authentic local lunch, and then go kayaking down the tropical canal.

You’ll even have some time to yourself where you can explore. Finally, you’ll visit a local fruit plantation and sample its wares before returning to Ho Chi Minh.

Ho Chi Minh The capital of Vietnam, the city is sometimes better known by its previous name, Saigon. But regardless of what you call it, it’s plentiful landmarks and culture is clear for all to see. Manicure and pedicure shops are a common late-night pastime in the city, so be sure to treat your digits, while sampling the many local beers brewed in the area is another way to get a taste for the city. The nightlife scene in the area is vibrant, while café culture is also strong during the day, speaking of which, be sure to try a Vietnamese coffee – made with sweet condensed milk.

Stunning Southeast Asia ITINERARY DAY 3 After breakfast, you’ll be taken to the airport where you’ll catch a flight to Danang. From Danang, you’ll be picked up by your driver and transferred to Hoi An and your second hotel – the Coco River Resort. You’ll spend four nights in this gorgeous hotel with daily breakfast included. After settling in, you’ll have time to explore the local surroundings and travel into the ancient town centre.

Coco River Resort, Hoi An A gorgeous river hotel found along the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, Coco River Resort is just three kilometres outside the ancient town of Hoi An – meaning you can enjoy its cultural delights and the hotel’s idyllic surroundings equally. A perfect slice of Vietnamese countryside, the hotel has great features like an in-house spa, 24/7 room service, a café/bar, and incredibly attentive and well-informed staff.

DAY 4 After breakfast, you’ll have the whole day to yourself as you explore the many charms of Hoi An. DAY 5 After breakfast, you’ll take part in a wonderful lantern-making lesson – a pastime that holds huge significance in Vietnam. And what’s better, your guide will escort you there on a bicycle tour towards the local craftsman’s house. You’ll be introduced to the craft’s history, pick up techniques, and then make your very own lantern.

DAY 6 After breakfast, you’ll have another day of free time to explore Hoi An. Hoi An An ancient town full of character and atmosphere, Hoi An was once a major port in Vietnam, vital to the country’s trade.

You can still see its significance through grandiose architecture and a beautifully quaint riverside setting, which is almost completely free from the distracting buzz of nearby traffic. Culture drips out of Hoi An’s every pore, but essential spots to tick off are undoubtedly Tan Ky House, the Japanese Covered Bridge, and Hoi An Old Town.

Stunning Southeast Asia ITINERARY DAY 7 After breakfast, you’ll have a little bit of free time before catching a flight to Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi. When here, you’ll be staying at the Medallion Hanoi for three nights with included daily breakfast. After settling in, you’ll have some free time to explore the city.

Medallion Hanoi A beautiful boutique hotel in the Vietnamese capital, the Medallion Hanoi is found right in the heart of the city’s vibrant Old Quarter. Less than a five-minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake and the worldfamous Water Puppet Theatre, it’s the perfect location for staying in Hanoi. The Medallion Restaurant offers a well-stocked international breakfast and authentic meals for lunch and dinner. There is also an onsite bar, fitness centre, and a travel desk.

Hanoi Although not the capital, Hanoi is the mostvisited city in all of Vietnam. The beating heart of the city is undoubtedly the old town area – known as the French Quarter.

Named so for the French architecture on display by previous colonists, this area is vibrant and much visited. Offering an abundance of bars, restaurants, cafés and more, it’s the ideal place to spend a few days taking it all in. A scenic walk around Hoan Kiem Lake is also recommended, while the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh (known as Uncle Ho) and the Hilton Hanoi (a prison where they kept US prisoners) are fascinating cultural spots.

DAY 8 You’ll be picked up between 07:45-08:30 by a shuttle bus and drive to Tuan Chau Marina, where you’ll embark on your overnight Ha Long Bay cruise. As well as your own cabin and welcome drink with the captain, you’ll receive lunch and dinner, as well as breakfast the next day.

In the afternoon on this day, you’ll explore Surprising Cave, before cruising to Titop Island. On the island, you can either can climb to the top of the island viewpoint and take in wonderful panoramic views, or visit a floating village and learn how to make pearls from local experts. You’ll then return to the boat for dinner and a sunset party on the sundeck – which includes complimentary wine and fresh fruit.

DAY 9 You can begin your day with an optional Tai Chi class before breakfast on board.

Cruising down to the Natural Preservation Zone, you can hop aboard a kayak and explore, or visit a local floating house – where you’ll learn about the local fishermen’s daily life. After this, you’ll cruise through the bay and pass Ba Hang Fishing Village, Dog Islet, and more. You can join in a cooking class and learn how to make authentic spring rolls before an early lunch. Upon arrival back at the harbour, you’ll be transferred back to the hotel in Hanoi for around 17:00.

Stunning Southeast Asia ITINERARY DAY 10 After breakfast, you’ll be taken to Ri Village in Ba Vi (around 90 minutes’ driving) where you will be welcomed to a local’s house with a complimentary drink. You’ll then visit the 30-year-old tea plantation in the village and learn about the process of traditional Vietnamese tea. Your expert guide – Mr Duoc – is incredibly well informed and will tell you interesting stories about the plantation and Vietnam as a whole. You’ll then visit another host family in Moc Village for a cooking class with Mrs. Chin, and you’ll be able to sample your cooking straight after at lunch.

You’ll return to the hotel in Ha Noi in the afternoon and have the day to yourself.

Stunning Southeast Asia ITINERARY DAY 11 Your driver will pick you up in the morning and take you to the airport, where you’ll catch your flight to Siem Reap in Cambodia.

You will check-in to Saem Siem Reap Hotel, where you’ll stay for two nights with daily breakfast. After checking in, you’ll be taken to Artisan D’Angkor – a handicraft centre that specialises in wood and stone carving. After this, you’ll visit Wat Thmey (known as the Killing Field) where you’ll learn about those who lost their lives during the Khmer reign.

Saem Siem Reap Hotel A well-equipped and comfortable hotel that’s found right near the popular hub of Pub Street, Saem Siem Reap Hotel is an ideal place to stay in the city. The authentic Khmer architecture is contrasted with modern facilities such as an outdoor pool, fitness centre, steam room, and sauna. A stacked breakfast package is prepared each morning, while there are snacks and meals available throughout the day too.

DAY 12 After breakfast, you’ll go on a whirlwind tour of the city’s main attraction – Angkor Wat. You’ll be taken around some of the park’s most enduring sites – including the South Gate, Bayob Temble, Ta Promh, Ta Keo, and many more. You’ll continue up to Bakheng Hill for a sunset view of the outstandingly beautiful area. In the evening, you’ll be taken to the city’s main hub of Pub Street where the local nightlife is absolutely thriving.

Angkor Wat One of the seven Ancient Wonders of the World, Angkor Wat is an archaeological park that quite simply has no parallel. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, many of the park’s most enduring sites were built between the 9th and 15th centuries.

Spreading out over 400 kilometres squared, popular landmarks within the park include Angkor Thom, Bayon Temple and of course, the Temple of Angkor Wat itself.

DAY 13 After breakfast and check out, you’ll have some free time to explore Siem Reap on your own – perfect to pick up some lastminute souvenirs for those back at home.
