Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Discover just why Halong Bay is so popular as you spend the night on a boat among the evocative karst landscape and indulge in a feast of fresh seafood.
Explore the amazing Angkor archaeological complex in depth with your included one-day pass, so as well as guided tours, you have the option to return and explore at your own pace.
Be welcomed into a Cambodian village for a tour of their agricultural surroundings and enjoy sunset drinks with a local family in their stilt house.
Relax in peaceful rural surroundings while your private chef prepares a delicious spread that celebrates his Hoi An garden's seasonal best.
Dine at KOTO in Hanoi, to not only taste delicious local food but also support an organisation promoting and protecting disadvantaged local youth.
Is this trip right for you?
The stories and history shared at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek are confronting and many travellers will find them upsetting. This is an important part of Cambodia’s recent history that we feel is important for travellers to know. If you would prefer not to join these activities your leader can recommend some optional alternatives. Some further information on visiting the Killing Fields of Choeung Ekcan be found here: https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/importance-visiting-cambodia-killing-fields/ https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/importance-visiting-cambodia-killing-fields/ (https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/importance-visiting-cambodia-killing-fields/)
You will visit a number of temples on this trip, and this requires a level of modesty. Be sure to bring clothes that cover the arms and pants or skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
While the pace is generally easy, there is some walking involved on this trip, with walking tours in the downtown areas of each city, as well as a walk in the caves at Halong Bay.
Lunar New Year is an annual festival that runs for several days. This is a fascinating and rewarding time to see the country, however you do need to be prepared for some businesses to be closed, tourist sites to be very busy and for transport to be packed as many locals are travelling around the country. Please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.
Depending on where you come from, the weather in Vietnam might be hotter and more humid than what you are used to.

I was really keen to travel but felt quite hesitant about travelling alone. I had nothing to worry about as the people you meet and the guides for Intrepid made me feel very safe and secure. I have made some lifelong friendships on this my very first tour. Cannot recommend Intrepid highly enough!

Treasures of Vietnam was truly full of treasures! Great variety of cities and natural wonders. Sites and guide were incredible. Traveling as a small group was fun, safe, and easy. Without Intrepid, logistics would’ve been extremely difficult. With Intrepid, we just showed up and enjoyed!

Go do this! Classic Cambodia and Intrepid exceeded our expectations- amazing trip due to outstanding staff and itinerary. Our tour guide,, Chesda, was knowledgeable and friendly - she made our trip. Our first trip with Intrepid - it is a very respectable organization. Would 100% recommend!

A good tour leader makes or breaks a tour and Muny ranks as one of the best leaders I have had. A great bloke and a great tour leader! The Tour while short hits the high points of Cambodia and was a great introduction to touring in Asia!

Intrepid Cambodia and Viet Nam - this trip can be done separately but we just finished the trip with both parts. So many experiences and activities with local leaders to make the holiday run smoothly. Special dietary requirements were organised and catered for during the entire trip. Small group travels make it easy to get to know each other and reduced waiting times during the journey. The places are very busy particularly in the cities but seeing local communities being given the opportunity to lift themselves up to earn a living and then help others was amazing.

My trip to Cambodia surpassed all expectations. I went for Angkor Wat and to learn more about the history. But I left with a great appreciation and respect for the kind and wonderful people. Our guide Horm was knowledgeable, funny and kind. He managed to keep us on schedule without feeling rushed, and always had time to answer our questions. He made the trip!
