Spectacular One-Week Highlights Tour of Southeast Asia

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. These include the desolate hallways of the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum. The second leg of your historical excursion will bring to light the subtle aspects of Vietnam’s architecture and design with a trip to the Jade Emperor Pagoda and the Fine Arts Museum.

You will have an early morning transfer to Cambodia today. After crossing the border, you continue to Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh, which is another destination that is bursting with cultural character and dripping with historical significance. After settling into your new accommodation, you will have your choice of activities. You can explore Cambodia’s recent past at S21 Prison and the Killing Fields, or you can peruse the gold-embellished spiritual complexes of the city. 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. You will arrive at an exquisite resort in the jungle that flanks Siem Reap. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will first explore Angkor Wat and its surrounding Angkorian temples. Before the sun dips beyond the horizon, you will visit more Siem Reap temples. After your day of touring a variety of temples, you will have the remainder of the evening to spend at your leisure in Siem Reap.

After breakfast, you may witness Cambodia from a unique vantage point: a hot air balloon. You will be welcomed to the launch site, where you will rumble into gear as the balloon fills with hot air and soars thousands of feet above the city and surrounding temples. Afterward, you may explore Siem Reap beyond the borders of the city. During your explorations, you can stop off at an ethical wildlife sanctuary that is dedicated to the rehabilitation of endemic species and the conservation of jungles. Here, you can have the unique opportunity to feed and care for an array of sheltered animals, such as monkeys and elephants.

After breakfast this morning, you will transfer from Bangkok to the capital of Thailand. After arriving, you will quickly discern why this is such an iconic Southeast Asian city. It may take a majority of the day to reach your destination, but it will be well worth the trip. Today, you will set off on an exclusive tour of the city’s beloved temples, and this evening, you can enjoy a meal at one of Thailand’s most prestigious restaurants.

You will have one last morning to get lost in the luxury of Bangkok. Afterward, you will be picked up by your private driver and transferred to the airport for your departure.
