Begin in Ho Chi Minh City, wandering around bustling markets, colonial landmarks and Chợ Lớn’s flower-filled alleys. Travel by speedboat to the Củ Chi Tunnels, hear stories from a Vietnam War veteran, then enjoy the AO Show and a private Saigon River dinner cruise.
In Hội An, stroll along lantern-lit streets and historic merchant houses, cycle across Cam Kim Island to visit local artisans and learn about their traditional crafts, and sample Danang’s street food, all balanced with time at Namia River Retreat.
In Hanoi, classical temples, artisan workshops and private water-puppet shows reveal northern Vietnam’s rich culture. Explore the Old Quarter by Vespa and cyclo, then visit the Hoang Lien Mountains for walks, cycling and stops at Black H’mong and Red Dao villages, waterfalls and terraced valleys.
Crossing into Laos, Luang Prabang offers dawn alms giving and a private Mekong cruise to the Pak Ou Caves. Enjoy heritage architecture tours and a visit to the Ock Pop Tok weaving centre.
In Cambodia, early mornings among the temples of Angkor include quiet bicycle rides, a sunset gondola on Angkor Thom’s moat and a trip to Mechrey floating village. The journey ends on Song Saa Private Island with snorkelling, kayaking, forest walks and unhurried evenings by the sea.
