The hustle and bustle of Hanoi to the mighty Angkor Wat, this adventure takes you through two amazing Southeast Asian Countries. 12 days gives you ample time to truly immerse yourself in the different cultures of both countries whilst also having the opportunity to relax, such as on a cruise in the famous Halong Bay.
We will take you to see the contrast between old and new: from the shining high-rises of Ho Chi Minh city to exploring like Laura Croft through Angkor Wat temples or marvelling at the lanterns glistening from the water in Hoi An.
This tour certainly has it all and we promise to guide you through the way!

Had an amazing time travelling with truetravels, especially with Leo as my guide for my Vietnam trip, who was always willing to help me out and was very entertaining to be around. Overall I would highly recommend this trip as it had something for everyone to enjoy.

This is an excellent itinerary for first-time travelers to Vietnam. Initially, I assumed that the itinerary was too tight and that we would not have enough time to adequately explore all of the locations we visited, but this was not the case. We were overjoyed and pleased with everything we saw, ate, drunk, and relaxed while on this trip:) Sapa was especially peaceful. Hoi An was highly suggested as a place to stay as well as a city to buy souvenirs and eat/drink.

Incredible destinations, delicious cuisine, and unforgettable experiences made this tour exceptional. However, what truly set it apart was our CEO guide, Apple. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge, organization, humor, and passion for her role enhanced every moment. She handled challenges fearlessly and, above all, ensured the safety of every traveler.
