In the late afternoon, the driver will take you to Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Pu Luong Nature Reserve has a beautiful landscape characterized by rice terraces, vast fields, forests, and streams. The ethnic minorities living in this area belong to the 'White Thai'. Pu Luong can be considered one of the most beautiful destinations in Northern Vietnam.

      Ho Chi Minh City

      Discover the city at your own pace.
      Today you have a day off in Ho Chi Minh City. There is so much to do, so making choices is necessary. I suggest that you at least visit the War Remnants Museum. From there, you can walk further to see the Reunification Palace. Just around the corner, you will find the Notre Dame Cathedral. For a great view of the city, it is recommended to go up to the roof of Chill Skybar around 5.30 pm. It's happy hour then, and you can slowly see the sun setting over the hustle and bustle of motorbikes. Dining at Secret Garden would be the perfect way to end the day, but be sure to reserve a table in advance as it is always busy.

      Experience life as a local in the Mekong Delta

      Over the next two days, you will get an excellent picture of life in the Delta and stay overnight at the guide's home among the rice fields. The rooms are basic but have air conditioning and a private bathroom with toilet. After lunch, you will explore the area around the homestay by bike. It's a fantastic area where no other tourists come. This way, you will really get to know the local life well. In this area, there is also a fairly large Khmer community. You will visit a beautiful Khmer temple, and if you can distinguish the languages a bit, you will notice that some people speak Khmer instead of Vietnamese. You will also visit the local market where ingredients are bought for dinner. Together with the guide, you will prepare dinner before being taken back to the hotel.

      Tour type: small group or private, depending on whether the guide has more guests that day.

      The Cai Rang floating market and life along the narrow canals.
      Early start today (5.30 departure) to visit the famous floating market around Can Tho. It's a constant flow of boats selling mostly fruit. There are also boats selling breakfast. You will enjoy a delicious 'banh mi op la' or a warm bowl of 'hu tieu'. And of course a cup of coffee or tea to wake up even more. After the market, you will visit a noodle factory. Here you will see the whole process from starting with a large sheet of rice paper to coloring and cutting the noodles. And you will go through the steps yourself. You will also cruise through narrow channels with overhanging palms and visit an organic cocoa plantation. The father of the current owner brought a cocoa seed from Malaysia 30 years ago and after much study learned how to make chocolate. You will end the morning with lunch before continuing your journey to the next destination.

      Time to explore the city with the tuktuk! You will start with a visit to the Royal Palace and the famous Silver Pagoda. This name is due to the silver floor which is now largely covered for protection, but you can still visit the pagoda. Phnom Penh is mainly known for the atrocities that took place during the Pol Pot regime that lasted from 1975 to 1979. You will learn more about the backgrounds of these horrific events at the Tuol Sleng Museum, also known as S21 prison, and The Killing Fields where the prisoners were executed at night. If time allows, you can also visit a local market.

Cycle along the narrow paths through the forest and discover a completely overgrown temple around every corner. If you do not enjoy cycling, we can also make the tour on foot or by car. Then continue driving towards Siem Reap. In Kampong Kdei, we will make a brief stop to admire one of the largest Angkorian bridges. It is still in use but only pedestrians, cyclists, and mopeds are allowed to cross it. Just one more hour of driving and you will be in Siem Reap.

      To the impressive temples of Angkor

      After a delicious breakfast and a good night's sleep, this morning you will journey by tuk tuk to one of the world's most famous architectural masterpieces of all time; Angkor Wat. This world heritage site dates back to the 12th century and is a mystical complex of beautiful temples, stunning relief art, and ancient statues. First, you will visit Angkor Wat itself, the most important of the more than 100 temples in the complex. Time for a refreshing coconut in the shade of the trees to re-energize! Your next destination is Angkor Thom, where another highlight awaits, the Bayon temple. The 54 Buddha heads in various sizes make this structure one of the most impressive temples in the complex. Later in the day, you will also visit the Ta Phrom temple. This is one of the few temples preserved as archaeologists rediscovered it at the beginning of the 21st century, overgrown by the jungle and clearly reclaimed by nature from humanity. It became world famous through the movie 'Tomb Raider' starring Angelina Jolie.
