15 days - Escorted Tours
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Vietnam and Cambodia. These two nations offer an intoxicating blend of ancient allure and modern energy, where history and tradition meet the bustle of contemporary life.
Vietnam, with its awe-inspiring beauty, is a land of contrasts. From mist-covered mountains and lush forests to a patchwork of rice fields and pristine beaches, this country captivates the imagination. Its cities and villages are home to centuries-old traditions, monuments, and the stories of a civilization that spans over 2,000 years.
Yet, Vietnam’s allure extends beyond its landscapes and history. The culinary scene here is a delightful fusion of Malay, Chinese, and Thai influences, with the added touch of French-inspired cuisine, thanks to its colonial past. From bustling street markets to elegant French cafés, you’ll be spoiled with fresh, flavourful dishes at unbeatable prices.
Both Vietnam and Cambodia are dynamic countries in transition, but their streets are still dominated by bicycles and motorbikes – offering a rare opportunity to experience a world where tradition continues to thrive amidst change. Now is the perfect time to explore these colourful, captivating destinations before their timeless charm is further altered by rapid development.
