Yes, you can start the journey in Cambodia (in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap) and conclude it in Vietnam (in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City). Our travel advisor will tailor the tour itinerary to your preferences.
From Vietnam, you can go to Cambodia either by air (a one-hour direct flight from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City/Da Nang to Siem Reap/Phnom Penh) or by water (traveling up the Mekong River by boat from the southernmost part of Vietnam to Phnom Penh). It is also possible to reach Cambodia by land, but the journey is quite long and tiring.
Vietnamese cuisine is incredibly diverse and delicious. With a gastronomic variety from North to South, you can find many tasty specialties. Each region has its own unique flavors and local dishes. Here is a list of dishes not to miss according to the region:
- In the North: During your stay in Hanoi, be sure to try Pho (beef rice noodle soup), Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich), Vietnamese spring rolls (Nem), and the legendary Egg Coffee, a Hanoi specialty.
- In the Central region: You must taste Bun Bo Hue, considered "one of the best soups in the world," and Cao Lau in Hoi An.
- In the South, the Mekong Delta region is renowned for its Vietnamese pancake, Banh Xeo.
No specific vaccines are required, including the COVID-19 vaccine, by Vietnamese authorities for entry into Vietnam. As for malaria, vaccination is recommended if you're going on a tour with consecutive days of hiking in the forest and spending many nights with local residents. Otherwise, a mosquito repellent product is more than sufficient.

Yes, you can certainly add a beach stay to your trip. Vietnam has several beautiful beaches in the central and southern regions of the country, including Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, and Phu Quoc.
An extension to Cambodia or Laos is also possible due to the proximity of these two countries to Vietnam. From the North, you can travel to Laos by land or air. From the South, you can reach Cambodia by traveling up the Mekong River by boat. Please contact us for more information.
A panoramic visit to both countries will take a minimum of 15 days. After visiting the major sites in Vietnam, you can reach Cambodia either by taking a short direct flight from Ho Chi Minh or by taking a boat from Chau Doc (a border town with Cambodia) to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.
With a few more days or an additional week, you can further explore Vietnam by discovering its still-authentic northern mountains or relaxing on one of its beautiful beaches (Hoi An, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc...) or on a beach in Cambodia (in Sihanoukville and its offshore islands).
