Highly recommend Vietnam and Cambodia with G Adventures! 2
Dinah and Zara, VIC, Australia, Sep 2023
What a trip - the perfect adventure! Travelling to both Vietnam and Cambodia in 17 days was perfect. September/October was really hot and humid so be aware of the climate you're willing to travel in before choosing a time of the year. Our Tour Leader was brilliant - he brought the group together like a family. He arranged all components of the tour read more like clockwork. The expert commentary throughout the countries was second to none - I learnt so much! All hotels and transport were more than adequate. G Adventures is now my travel company of choice!
There were many memorable moments on this G Adventures trip: 'Essential Vietnam and Cambodia'. Some of the best highlights included: the overnight cruise on the tranquil Halong Bay surrounded by breathtaking scenery, kayaking and swimming in it's waters, the motorbike trip through the backstreets and in the countryside of Hue City, overnight train read more journey, cycling around Hoi An countryside, the noodle making class, shopping at the local markets, visiting Angkor Wat at sunrise and the many amazing temples, Cambodia's countryside ... and many more special moments captured on camera. Our small group encountered so many friendly locals and dined at restaurants as well as street food outlets - It’s was all about atmosphere and ambience! We had a wonderful guide, Bun, who loves his job and his country (Cambodia) and made us love it too.
