About the tour
Since opening its borders to tourism in the late 1980s, Vietnam has become an incredibly popular destination. Still, the country remains relatively unspoiled and holds many pleasant surprises for first-time visitors. The country possesses a unique historical legacy which is still in evidence today, from the Junk boats in Halong Bay to the Imperial Citadel in Hue (modeled on the Forbidden City in Beijing), and the neo-classical French architecture of Hanoi. The Vietnamese people are some of the friendliest you are likely to encounter anywhere in Asia and their genuine smiles are an enduring memory for almost every visitor. Indeed, it is not uncommon for total strangers to be invited into a private home to share a meal or a cup of tea. Cambodia, in its turn, offers visitors one of the greatest of mankind's architectural achievements - the vast Angkor Temple complex.
