About the trip

The itinerary begins with two nights in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), where the Reunification Palace stands as a stark reminder of 1975 and the nearby Cu Chi Tunnels unveil an extensive underground network once used by the Vietcong. From there, the tour follows the Mekong Delta, navigating past paddy fields and coconut groves that frame the rural life of Vietnam. Visits include local markets, brick kilns, and silk-making communities, each providing a tangible sense of the region's enduring crafts and rhythms.

Crossing into Cambodia, the route takes in Phnom Penh's Royal Palace and the sobering Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. Further along the Mekong, Angkor Ban reveals traditional Cambodian village life untouched by recent upheavals. The programme culminates with three nights in Siem Reap, including a full day among the temples of Angkor—where sprawling ruins like Angkor Thom and the iconic Angkor Wat offer a striking tableau of Khmer history and architecture. Riviera Travel’s small-group style ensures a measured pace with time to take in each destination without rush.
