Trip highlights

Step into the enchanting world of Hoi An, a remarkably well-preserved Vietnamese town that seems frozen in time. Meander through the narrow, lantern-lit streets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with historic homes, temples, and assembly halls. You’ll take a Vietnamese cooking class during the day and then in the evening, you can stroll the old quarter under the magical glow of colorful silk lanterns.

Saigon captures the heart and soul of modern Vietnam. You’ll take a colonial walking tour to explore the city's rich architectural heritage and learn about its history under French colonial rule. Then you’ll go beyond the city limits with a boat tour to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, an immense network of connecting underground tunnels that served as the base of operations for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.

Prepare to be awestruck by the archaeological wonder that is Angkor Wat, the crown jewel of the Khmer Empire and one of the most magnificent religious monuments ever constructed. Watch the sunrise over the iconic lotus-shaped towers or explore the temple's hidden nooks and crannies, where tree roots have become intertwined with the sacred structures.

Trek through lush jungles and meandering rivers, observing Asian elephants in their natural habitat as your guide shares insights into their behavior, social structures, and the deep-rooted bond between human and elephant. These knowledgeable local experts have dedicated their lives to the care and training of these gentle giants.
