From its bustling cities to its ancient culture, Vietnam and Cambodia will thrill you! We'll begin our trip in Cambodia, where we'll explore the largest religious complex in the world. Angkor Wat, described as a "Hindu-Buddhist" series of temples will be the setting for sunrise. Plus, we'll tour Siem Reap via our taste buds on tuk tuk's, weaving our way through the streets on a culinary tour. We'll also head out to Angkor Thom, the 'Great City' and the most enduring capital city of the Khmer Empire. After Siem Reap we will fly down to Vietnam where history is around every corner. From the museums to the architecture, every turn will be better than the last. We'll see the final resting place of Ho Chi Minh, the founder of modern day Vietnam and we'll cruise the streets from the back of a vintage Jeep to experience the real Hanoi. A visit to the Vietnamese markets will amaze you. From here, we'll board a cruise ship for two days and one night in Halong Bay. Said to be one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the world, we'll experience it firsthand both in the water and on the boat. Arise and watch the sun rise over the bay with a cuppa from the privacy of your ship's balcony. The trip will end on a high note, in Hoi An, known as a shopper's paradise. Not only can you shop till you drop but you'll find hand-tailored garments, hats and beautiful home goods to bring back home with you. If 8 days isn't enough to explore the region, consider joining us in Phu Qouc, Thailand for a restful end to your vacation. The beach is calling your name!
