TOUR ITINERARY
Discover Vietnam & Cambodia – 2 Countrys, 14 Days, Unforgettable Experiences
This private 14-day journey captures the essence of Southeast Asia: vibrant city life in Ho Chi Minh City, a serene Mekong River cruise through Vietnam and Cambodia, and the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor Wat. Along the way, you’ll experience floating villages, sacred pagodas, lush river landscapes, and the warmth of local culture.
Start your journey in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s dynamic southern hub. With your private guide, explore historic landmarks, vibrant markets, hidden alleys full of local life, and discover the city’s rich blend of tradition and modern energy.
Spend the day at your own pace explore, or simply take it slow. As the sun begins to set, your guide will pick you up for an unforgettable food tour.
Evening Flavors of Vietnam, wander through lively streets and night markets, tasting your way through Vietnam’s rich culinary scene ranges from sizzling street snacks to regional specialties bursting with flavor.
A Slow Morning Before the Journey Begins, enjoy a quiet morning at your hotel the starting point for your cruise. Savor breakfast, and get ready. The Mekong awaits.
Into the Mekong Delta, step aboard and drift into a slower rhythm of life. Temples and floating villages line the path of your new adventure.
Twice a day, you’ll step ashore with your guide in groups to explore hidden temples, meet locals in small riverside villages, and listen to stories that bring the region’s complex history to life. Between Vietnam and Cambodia, you’ll gain insights that stay with you far beyond the journey.
Begin your day with a quiet Tai Chi session on deck, followed by a strong Vietnamese coffee as the river glides past in slow motion. The onboard meals are a celebration of local flavors, fresh and lovingly prepared, perfect for enjoying long, peaceful hours on the water.
You’ll travel in all kinds of ways – by tuk-tuk, rickshaw, even ox cart – winding through quiet villages where life flows gently and the modern world feels far away. Each stop offers a window into a way of life that’s deeply rooted and beautifully simple.
One of the most touching moments awaits at a local school. The children welcome you with wide smiles & bright eyes, eager to try out their English, proud to share a moment with you.
The meals on board are unforgettable: bursting with flavor, prepared fresh every day, and beautifully plated. From fragrant noodle soups to crisp spring rolls and tropical desserts, each dish is a small celebration of local cuisine.
One of the true highlights of the cruise is the amazing crew. With their warm smiles and genuine hospitality, they make you feel right at home from the moment you step aboard. In the evenings, you can look forward to lively gatherings with music, dancing, and beautiful traditional performances. The crew goes above and beyond to make your journey special.
Step into the heart of an ancient empire.
Your private journey through Angkor begins at dawn, as the first light ignites the spires of Angkor Wat in golden glow - a moment that feels almost unreal. Over the next two days, your guide will lead you through crumbling jungle temples, sacred ruins, and stories carved in stone.
Beyond the grandeur of Angkor Wat, your guide will lead you to lesser-known temples hidden deep in the jungle.
Take a well-earned pause and enjoy lunch wherever you prefer, whether it’s a local Khmer eatery serving fragrant curries and grilled seafood, or a spot offering familiar international favorites. The choice is yours.
To wrap up your two-day Angkor journey, head back into the ancient temple grounds for a magical sunset. Choose between the serene reflection of Srah Srang or the panoramic views from Pre Rup temple.
Savor a peaceful morning before your journey comes to an end, your driver will take you to the airport, while your heart stays full of memories.

ACCOMODATION INFORMATION
While the accommodations on this tour are carefully selected and fixed in advance, should one not be available due to unforeseen circumstances, a comparable option of the same standard will, of course, be arranged.
TRAVEL FLEXIBILITY NOTICE
Important: If you’re interested in this tour, please reach out to me directly before booking. The cruise included in the itinerary only runs on specific start dates. You can check the PDF for the current schedule – or simply get in touch with me, and I’ll take care of everything for you. Together, we’ll find the perfect date that fits your travel plans.
TRAVEL GUIDE BOOK
You’ll receive a detailed PDF travel guide with all your bookings, essential information, and a personalized day-by-day itinerary for Ho Chi Minh and Angkor Wat, tailored just for you. It also includes helpful tips to make your journey smoother and more enjoyable, plus my personal recommendations for cafés and restaurants I’ve visited and loved along the way.
VISA
Many nationalities can enter Vietnam visa-free for 15 to 45 days, depending on their passport. It’s best to check the exact requirements in advance based on your nationality.
For Cambodia, a visa is needed but you won’t have to worry about a thing. The crew will handle the entire process for you during the cruise, making it smooth and stress-free.
PACKING
Laundry is possible during the trip. A good pair of shoes is helpful, especially for the Angkor Wat tour. For temple visits, it's best to have comfortable long pants or something to cover your knees as a sign of respect.
DAY BAG
For day tours, a small day bag is useful to carry your essentials. It’s important to bring enough water. In the city, it’s easy to find shops along the way, but in Villages and Angkor Wat it’s a bit different — feel free to bring several bottles and leave them in the car, which is private and always nearby.
WEATHER
The best time to visit Vietnam and Cambodia is generally between October and May, when the weather is more pleasant in most regions.
These months bring plenty of dry days, making it ideal for sightseeing, boat trips, and temple visits. Expect warm temperatures, typically between 24 and 32°C, though it can already get quite hot from End April onwards, especially in southern parts. Rainfall is low, which makes traveling and exploring much more comfortable.
CASH/ATM
Vietnam and Cambodia are countries where local restaurants and markets mostly accept cash payments. ATMs are widely available in both countries, so you’ll have easy access to withdraw money when needed. Since you’ll be crossing borders during your trip, it’s useful to carry some US dollars with you. In Cambodia, paying with dollars is actually more common than using the local currency, which you’ll rarely need.
During the cruise you will be able to change dollars aboard in local currency.
INTERNET & SIM CARDS
SIM cards in Vietnam are available almost everywhere, including directly at the airport upon arrival. If you prefer not to get a physical SIM card, I recommend using an eSIM — you’ll find more detailed information about this option in my travel guide.
Please note: Wi-Fi on the boat are only available while still in Vietnamese waters. Once you enter Cambodia, connectivity is very limited. I recommend setting up an eSIM for Cambodia in advance if you’d like to stay connected during the cruise.
SUNSCREEN
Bring plenty of sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses for your trip – especially during long days outdoors at Angkor, protection from the sun is essential.
