Overview
A two-country group departure running north to south, ending at Angkor. Maximum sixteen travellers, one tour leader throughout, and an overnight cruise in Halong Bay on a small boat rather than a large one.
The route runs north to south with internal flights between the legs, which is why it works better as a fixed departure than as an independent trip — the reasoning is on the Vietnam group tour packages page. Vietnam issues an inexpensive e-visa online and Cambodia requires its own. If you are still weighing this against an island holiday, Bali or Vietnam compares them on cost, travel time and food.

- Overnight Halong Bay cruise on a small vessel
- Angkor Wat at sunrise with an archaeologist guide
