As you arrive in Can Tho, your local guide will be there to extend a warm welcome and assist you with the transfer to your hotel. After checking in, if your arrival is in the morning or midday and you're eager to explore, we can arrange a leisurely cycling tour in the afternoon, taking you through the scenic countryside surrounding Can Tho. Enjoy an overnight stay in Can Tho, ready for the adventures that await.

Begin your day with an early morning motorboat journey to the vibrant Cai Rang floating market, a bustling spectacle where boats laden with an array of fruits, vegetables, and fish from all across the Delta converge for lively trade. As you navigate the market, take note of the long poles adorned with samples of products for sale, designed to be visible from afar. You'll also find smaller boats offering delicious local meals and refreshments, adding to the lively atmosphere.

Following your market exploration, it's time to check out from your hotel. Next, you'll be transferred to Cai Be, where you'll embark on a local boat adventure. The Mekong Delta, with its fertile landscapes, warm hospitality, and serene gardens, eagerly awaits every visitor.

Here, you'll relish a home-hosted lunch featuring Mekong Delta specialties.

After this enriching experience, you'll head back to Saigon, rounding off your day's adventures.

Saigon, a vibrant metropolis with over eight million residents and an astonishing four million motorbikes, is a city that never rests.

Despite its modernity, Saigon preserves its deep historical ties, and our city tour is a journey through some of its most iconic landmarks. Our first stop is the Notre Dame Cathedral, a magnificent red brick structure featuring twin spires, built from materials imported from France. Please note that due to ongoing renovations until late 2023, we'll enjoy an exterior view of this historic cathedral.

Next, we'll stroll across the square to the Central Post Office, a remarkable building completed in 1891. A short drive away, we'll visit the former Presidential Palace, once the headquarters of the Saigon Government during the American War.

Our tour continues to the War Remnants Museum, offering a poignant and vivid perspective of the American War through the eyes of the Vietnamese. Please be aware that some exhibits within the museum contain graphic content.

To conclude our adventure, you'll experience Saigon's renowned street coffee culture, complete with a brief language lesson and insights into the daily life of a Saigonese, before returning to your hotel.

Embark on a captivating journey from Saigon, driving approximately 2 hours northwest to the renowned Cu Chi Tunnels. This vast network of interconnected underground tunnels, initiated in 1948, was strategically designed to shield Viet Cong guerrillas from both French aerial and ground offensives.

These tunnels served multifaceted purposes, including providing shelter, communication and supply routes, hospitals, and storage facilities for food and weapons. By venturing into these subterranean complexes, you'll gain a profound insight into the tunnels' historical significance, the harsh conditions faced by those who lived within them, and the unwavering Vietnamese spirit during times of conflict.

After this eye-opening experience, return to Saigon, leaving with a deeper appreciation of Vietnam's complex history.

Experience the wonders of Angkor Wat and its surrounding temples in a single day:

Angkor Thom: Encircled by a moat, Angkor Thom stands as a formidable stronghold. You'll explore its five entrances, each a historical passage, with the south gate retaining its water feature.

Ta Prohm: Discover the captivating blend of human architecture and nature's embrace. Ta Prohm, known for its role in "Tomb Raider," offers a mysterious atmosphere best enjoyed in the afternoon shade.

Angkor Wat: This colossal religious complex, regarded as one of the Eight Wonders of the World, features a myriad of temples, statues, and palaces. Although a full exploration takes several days, Angkor Wat is your primary gateway to Khmer heritage.

Bayon Temple: Built during King Jayavarman VII's reign, Bayon Temple is famed for its intricate stone faces, resembling a mountain from afar. As you approach, these faces reveal their mesmerizing details.

Embark on a captivating journey with a visit to Banteay Srei, often referred to as the "Citadel of Women." This treasure, discovered last century, astounds with its intricate red sandstone architecture and remarkable wall carvings. Known for its detailed carvings, Banteay Srei stands out as a precious gem of Khmer art, boasting miniature-scale structures.

Next, explore the Land Mine Museum, where you'll gain insights into Cambodia's history with land mines and the courageous efforts to locate and defuse them. Your adventure continues with a visit to a nearby village, offering you a taste of palm candies and rice wine.

Experience the beauty of the Cambodian countryside on an ox cart ride, passing through lush rice fields, palm groves, and quaint villages. As the journey unfolds, you'll head south to the vast Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. A boat ride to Kampong Phlukk, or the "Harbor of the Tusks," reveals the lake's history as an elephant trade hub centuries ago. Discover the surrounding mangrove forests, and as the day draws to a close, relish a serene sunset cocktail on the lake before returning to your hotel for leisure.

scenic tours highlights of vietnam cambodia

We made a private tour through South China in January 2024. Altogether Chengdu was the highlight. We had an incredible day at Emeishan. In Chengdu our guidewas Helen. She was the diamond of all. Speaking fluently English, full of interesting stories, laughing and talking all the time. We missed her the rest of our tour. We highly recommend to go to Chengdu for 3 days when visiting China, especially with Helen.

scenic tours highlights of vietnam cambodia

Other highlights are too many to mention but here are a few Ken taking us to the Terracotta Warriors and our food tour in Xian was amazing,

Our day volunteering at the Panda Base was truly unforgettable. Helen, our guide, provided us with invaluable insights about Chengdu and the pandas, enriching our tour with her knowledge and expertise. We're grateful to Helen for accompanying us throughout the day and showcasing the highlights of China.

We had a booking with China Highlights through Silvia Ye who guarenteed a perfect organisation. In Chengdu our guide was Helen. She was the diamond of all. Speaking fluently English, full of interesting stories, laughing and talking all the time. We missed her the rest of our tour. We highly recommend to go to Chengdu for 3 days when visiting China, especially with Helen.

We traveled to China during the Chinese new year and we had Kris as our guide and he is simply knowledgeable,helpful and great.

We visited Guilin for 2 days and stayed in the Guilin Waterfall hotel. Guilin was absolutely beautiful! Our guide, William, was very knowledgeable and kind! He taught us so much about Guilin and the surrounding area! We really enjoyed trying the specialty rice noodles of Guilin. Our highlight was the Li river cruise.

Amazing tour and the guide Mr. 贺霄 was very accommodating with our needs and request as we have bought our 2 years old with us. Well explained for all the place we visited. Any additional cost were informed well ahead and didn't felt any pressure if we opt not to go for additional detour. The trip was relaxing/ laid back/no rushing with zero shopping!

We had an amazing to China. Our tour guide Martin in Shanghai was super knowledgeable, caring and very flexible with our itinerary. When my wife got sick in the Shanghai, he was able to arrange an English-speaking doctor on the spot and took us to the clinic. On top of the that, Martin and the driver stayed with us at the clinic for the whole duration and drove us back to the hotel afterwards. His genuine concern for our welfare and willingness to go the extra mile did not go unnoticed, and we were deeply touched by his kindness and compassion.

Guilin, but mostly Yangshuo was at the tail end of our China adventure so there was a lot to live up to. Having a guide like Gary Wei meant that our trip ended on a high! We arrived in Guilin very late from an 11 hour train journey. Gary met us with gifts of fruit, sweet bread and cakes which was so unexpected and thoughtful.Gary's knowledge of the area was exceptional and his attention to us the same. He really took our children under his wing - even tuning in to annoying sibling rivalry and managing to keep the peace very well! Gary was our personal photographer at times and even our Taiji instructor, making a beautiful video of us all doing Taiji in a scenic setting :)The cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo is definitely worth taking and we enjoyed our few nights in the area, riding bikes along the river, doing a cooking class and enjoying the scenery

Tour Highlights

Itinerary details.

If you are planning your first trip to Asia, we recommend the great Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the picturesque Vietnam. The trip detailed below connects the two countries but you can adjust the itinerary to suit your needs.

Hotel suggestions: Double Leaf Boutique Hotel / Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra

Welcome to Cambodia. Your guide will escort you to your hotel.

There are not usually any direct flights from the US/Europe to Southeast Asia because of the long journey duration. Many travelers choose to take a layover in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou. When you search for international flight options, check these layover destinations for reference.

In the morning, your guide will take you to the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh.

After lunch, you will be taken to two locations that have a tragic history — the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. The fields were where the prisoners were held and killed, and the prisoners were not ordinary criminals, such as thieves, but scholars who had an advanced communist ideology. They were arrested in the city and taken to this evil place but they never stopped pursuing the communist ideology.

Hotel suggestions: Tara Angkor Hotel / Shinta Mani Shack

You will take a flight to Siem Reap in the afternoon.

Tomb Raider is a world-famous film and visiting Bayon, a temple, in the afternoon will make you think of the scenes in the movie without any special effects needed. The mysterious atmosphere is created by the old trees around it.

Constructed with sandstone, Banteay Srei is a must-see attraction in the complex of Angkor Wat. The best time to enjoy it is in the early morning when the sunlight is shining on the stone.

After some hours walking in Angkor Thom, which used to be the palace for the kingdoms, a local scholar will walk with you at Angkor Wat and tell you many interesting stories and facts that are not listed in guidebooks. This knowledge will help you to unveil the mystery of Angkor Wat.

Hotel suggestions: Millennium Boutique Hotel / Hotel Grand Saigon

Arrive in Ho Chi Minh City by airplane in the morning.

After your transfer from the airport, you will have a whole afternoon enjoying the city highlights, such as Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, Saigon Central Post Office, Reunification Palace, and An Dong Market. The private tour will provide you with an authentic experience at a comfortable pace.

You will visit a town located in the Mekong Delta, which is 2 hours away from Ho Chi Minh City. On the way, your private tour guide will give a brief introduction to the lifestyle and culture of this region. Later, you will get in a sampan and an experienced local fisherman will row it and show you how to keep away from the obstacles along the canals.

After getting out of the sampan, some local workshops welcome you to the market. You can learn the manufacturing processes of coconut candy, rice wine, and rice paper. Later, you will go to a garden to help the host do some easy work. He will chat with you and you can enjoy many delicious fruits that have already been prepared by the host.

If you would like to experience the locals' lifestyle in the Mekong Delta, this day is ideal for you. We'll handle all the arrangements for your transportation, guides, and tickets. All you need to do is just enjoy your time.

Hotel suggestions: Essence Hoi An Hotel & Spa / Almanity Hoi An Wellness Resort

Take the morning flight to your next wonderful destination — Hoi An. The flight will arrive in Da Nang, from where it takes 40 minutes to reach Hoi An by car.

Your guide will lead you to some key scenic spots, such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, Fujian Assembly Hall, and Old House of Tan Ky in Hoi An.

After lunch, you can go inside the Tran Family Chapel and learn about the lifestyle and history of the family.

Later, you will have a cup of coffee and then you can start your cooking class in Red Bridge Restaurant and Cooking School, which will help you learn how the local Vietnamese make their daily food.

Hotel suggestions: Hanoi Pearl Hotel / InterContinental Hanoi Westlake

Saying goodbye to Hoi An, your guide and driver will escort you from your hotel to Da Nang to catch your flight to Hanoi. Meet your guide in Hanoi and check in at your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to spend at your leisure.

If there is a competition to compare which city is the most attractive in the world, Hanoi will be the winner because of its history and multiple cultures. The people who live there, however, are ordinary and work laboriously.

On this trip, you will visit famous places, such as the Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and Hoan Kiem Lake.

In the afternoon, your guide will accompany you to take a cyclo in the Old Quarter to experience authentic Hanoi life. Hanoi's best egg coffee, weird-looking fruits, and ice creams are all highlights there.

Overnight accommodation: Paradise Luxury Cruise / Bhaya Classic Cruise

After enjoying a refreshing breakfast in your hotel, you will be picked up by the shuttle bus arranged by the cruise company and head to Halong Bay. It takes 3–4 hours to drive there depending on the traffic. If you prefer to have a private transfer with an English-speaking guide, just tell your travel advisor.

Board the ship and then your memorable Halong Bay cruise will start. The fishing villages, caves, and kayaking are all highlights there.

In the evening, enjoy your time on the junk under the stars.

After the delicious breakfast on board, you will be transferred to Hanoi and your private tour guide will meet you there. Take your flight back home. We, at Asia Highlights, wish you a pleasant journey!

Along the river typical local villages are barely visible behind a screen of foliage. Slender canoes bobbing by the shore, bamboo poles and floats mark the location of nets and fish traps. Our first stop will be at Ban Muangkeo, a well-known village for Lao traditional rice whisky. After a simple lunch, return to Luang Prabang to visit the local weavers at Ock Pop Tok or stroll through the streets to enjoy the special historic architecture, shops and numerous cafes.

Fly to Siem Reap, city of temples

(Selective focus) Stunning view of the Ta Prohm temple with a big old tree. Ta Prohm is the modern name of the temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Fly to the ruined capital of the powerful Khmer kingdom . Angkor flourished from the 10th to the 15th centuries and comprises some 400 sandstone, brick and laterite temples, walls, tombs and other structures surrounded by jungle. The afternoon takes you to Preah Khan, the “Sacred Sword” temple dedicated by Jayavarman VII to his father, and to Neak Pean, a temple built as a sort of healing center, with pools representing water, earth, wind, and fire. Finish the day at Ta Prohm and experience the feeling of a modern day Indiana Jones as you explore this temple that is slowly being swallowed up by the jungle.

Enjoy an afternoon rest at your hotel during the heat of the day, then continue your temple exploration with the jewel of Cambodia: Angkor Wat, whose temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. This 12th century masterpiece is considered the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture, and combines Buddhist and Hindu imagery on a vast scale.
