An amazing 21 days with a wide range of activities from cultural to active, and some for the foodies. The Vietnam portion was high paced with a lot to pack in, but the Cambodia portion was a much more relaxed pace, a deserved and needed time to chill. We had great guides, Bobby & Liam complimented each other really well in Vietnam, Bobby’s local touch and knowledge made the tour. Seyha was good fun in Cambodia too, and again we were really lucky to have a local guide. Top highlights of the trip are Ha Long Bay, Hoi An (get as many clothes tailored as you can fit in your bags!), Cu Chi tunnels, & and the Ankor Wat day. Only one slight thing, as the Vietnam trip is so full on there isn’t much free time, and I wished I’d had more time in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, others had booked extra days before/after which I regret not doing, if you know there’s things you want to do there outside the itinerary make sure to book extra days! Doesn’t take away though from the epic trip!Show more
