After landing, you will be greeted by a friendly chauffeur who will transfer you to your accommodation. Your first afternoon and evening in Ho Chi Minh City will be dedicated to acclimatizing yourselves to the high-octane atmosphere of this iconic city. After some time to adjust to the local lifestyle, the flavors of Vietnam’s distinctive culinary culture will be revealed to you on an immersive food tour.

On your second day in Vietnam, you will traverse the lengths of Ho Chi Minh City’s recognized boulevards on an exclusive tour. After being briefed on your travel interests, your experienced tour guide will lead you to the city’s most significant destinations among French-Vietnamese architecture.

In the evening, you may transfer to a famous Cambodian night market, where you can pass the stalls of vendors who work tirelessly to craft original recipes.

After breakfast this morning, you will transfer to Siem Reap. Siem Reap is a mystical location that is shrouded in heritage thanks to its fascinating collection of age-old temples and Tonle Sap Lake.
