We will then see the Presidential Palace from the outside and enjoy a photo stop at this impressive example of French colonial architecture. Our next stop will be the Temple of Literature, founded in 1070 and known as Vietnam’s first university, as well as a symbol of wisdom and Confucian culture. Here, we will have the opportunity to closely examine the examination steles rising on stone turtles and admire the traditional architecture.

Meaning “Three Caves,” Tam Coc is known as “Halong Bay on Land,” with limestone cliffs rising amid rice fields. We will savor local specialties for lunch. After the meal, we proceed to Hoa Lu, the capital of Vietnam between 968 and 1009, and visit the temples dedicated to the kings of the Dinh and Le dynasties. Although very little remains of the former 300-hectare citadel, the ruins and temples in the area offer us the opportunity to learn more about Vietnam’s early history. After the tour, we return to our hotel in Hanoi. Overnight at our hotel.

Siem Reap – Koh Ker Pyramid Temple – Prasat Pram – Siem Reap
After breakfast at our hotel, we depart for the Lunch-Included Lost Capital Koh Ker Pyramid & Prasat Pram Tour. We set out to explore the mysterious temples of Koh Ker. Our first stop is the Koh Ker Pyramid Temple, rising in the center of the ancient settlement that briefly served as the capital of the Khmer Empire in the 10th century and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its stepped architecture standing approximately 38 meters high and symbolizing the sacred Mount Meru, this monumental structure is one of Cambodia’s most extraordinary temples, surrounded by sweeping views of the endless forest. We then visit Prasat Pram, hidden among dense tropical vegetation and consisting of three brick sanctuary towers and two library structures. At this temple, where enormous tree roots have enveloped some of the towers over the centuries, nature and ancient Khmer architecture merge in a striking way, and we take a photo break. Following our tour, we have lunch at a local restaurant and then transfer to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.
Siem Reap
After breakfast at our hotel, we depart for the Big Angkor Thom Tour with lunch. We begin our Angkor Thom Tour at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was the capital of the Khmer Empire in the 12th century. Our first stop is the South Gate, one of the most impressive entrances to the city, which is surrounded by 3.5 kilometers of walls. Stone statues depicting the mythical Churning of the Ocean of Milk scene line the entrance. We then visit Baphuon Temple, built in the 11th century and considered an important example of temple-mountain architecture. Next, we explore Bayon Temple, located in the heart of Angkor Thom and famous for its more than 200 facial expressions carved into 54 towers. Our program continues with Ta Prohm Temple. Built in the 12th century, this temple stands out for its gigantic tropical tree roots intertwined with its stone walls and has been preserved in its unrestored state. During our visit, we also see the Terrace of the Leper King, where royal ceremonies were held, and the Terrace of the Elephants, which hosted official processions featuring elephants. We have lunch at a local restaurant serving regional specialties. In the afternoon, we visit Angkor Wat, considered the largest religious structure in human history. Built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II, this vast complex covers an area of 162 hectares and is regarded as the pinnacle of Khmer architecture. The reliefs and detailed carvings in its galleries depict scenes from Hindu mythology. Following the tour, we transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
Siem Reap – Tonle Sap – Siem Reap – Saigon
After breakfast at our hotel this morning, we depart for a boat tour of Tonle Sap Lake. Covering an area that varies from 2,500 km² to as much as 16,000 km² during the monsoon rains, this lake is one of the most important ecosystems not only in Cambodia but in the entire region. Thanks to its connection with the Mekong River, Tonle Sap is home to one of the world’s rare waterways whose flow changes direction. During our boat tour, we observe the communities built on the lake up close. Tens of thousands of families living around the lake have made their livelihoods from fishing and the trade of aquatic products for centuries. The traditional houses built on stilts in the region are elevated on high supports to adapt to seasonal changes in water levels. In addition, there are floating houses, primary schools, small shops, and even floating clinics on the lake. Tonle Sap alone accounts for approximately 75% of Cambodia’s freshwater fishing and is the country’s largest food source. Throughout our boat tour, we have the opportunity to observe this unique way of life in an organized manner. Following the tour, we transfer to Siem Reap Airport and take a scheduled local airline flight to Saigon. Upon arrival in Saigon, we transfer to our hotel by private vehicle. Overnight at our hotel.

During our city tour, we also see Notre-Dame Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1880 and distinguished by its red bricks. Our final stop will be Ben Thanh Market, one of the city’s liveliest shopping destinations. After the tour, we return to our hotel and have free time.

Located approximately 70 kilometers outside the city, the Cu Chi Tunnels are a tunnel system built by the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam–United States War, one of the most dramatic events in recent history. Stretching over 250 kilometers, the tunnels became an underground city throughout the war. Here, we will see trenches, camps, traps, living quarters, and underground passageways from that period up close. After the tour, we return to our hotel and have free time. Overnight at our hotel.

We will then see the Di Lac Bodhisattva, known as the Buddha of the Future, weighing over 5,000 tons and symbolizing joy, peace, and abundance. After viewing these fascinating statues, we will visit the Ba Linh Temple Complex, one of the cable car stations, featuring mystical places of worship integrated into natural rock caves and dedicated to the mountain’s guardian goddess.

At the end of our tour, we return to our hotel and enjoy free time. Overnight at our hotel.
