We can join the local's for some early morning Tai Chi before we board a traditional junk boat, exploring the stunning limestone, rainforest islands in Halong Bay.
An overnight sleeper train takes us to Hue City, before we explore the ancient town of Hoi An, taking in its traditional architecture and browsing through its villages famed for its carpentry and pottery trade. After spending some time in Hoi An, we'll take a short flight to Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon as it's popularly known as, which serves as the business hub of Vietnam. It's here where'll enjoy one of the main highlights of our Vietnam holiday - a vintage Vespa tour through the bustling city, where we'll try its unique eats, drinks and enjoy some live entertainment.
Our last activity in Vietnam takes us to the Mekong Delta, where we'll spending some time with a local fisherman and his family. Here, we'll try to catch Elephant ear fish and learn how to cook traditional Vietnamese meals.
We'll travel back to Ho Chi Minh city, as we cross the border to Cambodia's capital of Phnom Penh, as we visit the Toul Sleng Prison Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. Our time in Phnom Penh also sees us visit the Royal Palace, its Silver Pagoda and the National Museum.
After spending time in Phnom Penh, we'll head to Siem Reap, as we journey into the Kulen Mountains for an overnight stay with a local family who will guide us to waterfalls and animal statues in its surrounding forest, before visiting the temples of Angkor Wat and the jungle temple of Ta Prohm.
