Cambodia to Vietnam via Mekong
Bespoke Holiday Itinerary / Experience Tour

This is an exciting and well-paced itinerary combining Cambodia and Vietnam.

You will spend just over 2 weeks visiting some of the highlights of South East Asia. From the Temples of Angkor and the city of Phnom Penh you’ll travel into Vietnam by boat via the scenic and vibrant Mekong River. In Vietnam you’ll have time to experience the floating markets and daily life of the people who live in the Mekong Delta before exploring bustling Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). You’ll end your trip with a few days of well-earned relaxation on one of Vietnam's many great beaches.

Travelling the slow way down river and by road really allow you to feel the contrast between slow paced Vietnam and bustling, energetic Vietnam. Recommended.
