PRIVATE JOURNEY – 22 DAYS – FROM £4,900
An area covering Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, Indochina is a distinctive region with a shared history, religious tradition and similar cultural traits. This comprehensive itinerary is a relaxed journey tracing south-east Asia’s greatest treasures. Starting in Cambodia, visit the spectacular Angkor Wat temple complex.

LAND OF THE ASCENDING DRAGON - Vietnam
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 15 DAYS – FROM £3,050
Continuing to dominate the region, much as it has done over the centuries, Vietnam is south–east Asia’s most diverse country and a land with much to offer. From the rugged mountains of the north and the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta in the south, Vietnam is a country of staggering beauty. Hanoi’s French architecture, the old imperial city of Hue and the cobbled streets of Hoi An are delightful highlights whilst the bustling Ho Chi Minh City, heart and soul of Vietnam, is a myriad of street markets, shops and pavement cafes.
CRUISING THE MIGHTY MEKONG - Vietnam and Cambodia
PRIVATE JOURNEY / ESCORTED CRUISE – 15 DAYS – FROM £4,500
This seven night cruise offers a fabulous opportunity to explore the Mekong River and connects three important destinations on one trip — the vibrant French colonial port of Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, the quaint Cambodian capital, and the stupendous World Heritage temple complex of Angkor Wat. This Mekong River cruise is operated by Pandaw and their boat, the RV Mekong Pandaw, has been designed to replicate a colonial river steamer. Well appointed, this cruise not only offers the chance to experience true Mekong life but also to do so in comfort.
LAOS OVERLAND - Laos
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 23 DAYS – FROM £4,270
One of Indochina’s under–discovered gems, Laos is a beautiful, diverse, welcoming nation blessed with great cultural sites and spectacular natural beauty. This itinerary focuses almost entirely on Laos and travels from the traditional tribal regions of the north around Luang Namtha and the wonderful colonial town of Luang Prabang to the capital Vientiane and peaceful Dong Daeng Island close to Thai and Cambodian borders.
THE SPLENDOURS OF ANGKOR & LUANG PRABANG - Cambodia and Laos
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 15 DAYS – FROM £3,970
This fifteen day journey combines both the religious and cultural capitals of Cambodia and Laos. Starting in Cambodia, visit the breathtaking Angkor Wat Temple Complex and vibrant capital of Phnom Penh, with its French–colonial and traditional Khmer architecture. From here, continue into Laos and visit Vientiane, the country’s capital and the sleepy riverside UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang. This itinerary explores the religious and ancestral legacy of the region’s great civilizations and includes some of the most beautiful cities in Asia.
TREASURES OF THE KHMER EMPIRE - Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia
PRIVATE JOURNEY / ESCORTED CRUISE – 20 DAYS – FROM £5,200
With a shared border, Thailand and Laos are linked by the twisting Mekong River, with the latter defined by this mighty waterway. Centred on the Mekong, this itinerary combines the hill–tribe regions of northern Thailand’s ‘Golden Triangle’ with Laos and two unique river cruises. Fly to Chiang Rai and explore the beautiful region around Sop Ruak before crossing into Laos for the overnight Mekong cruise to the beautiful town of Luang Prabang. Fly to the southern Laotian town of Pakse, joining your Mekong cruise, before flying to the golden beaches of Krabi to relax by the sea.
IN SEARCH OF THE MUONG - Vietnam
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 7 DAYS – FROM £950
Adventurous and ‘off the beaten track’, this journey offers not only spectacular scenery in the mountainous area north–west of Hanoi but also a unique extended opportunity to interact with the local indigenous groups that make up the vast majority of the population. Walk though remote villages, rice paddies and past the thatched–roof homes of the fascinating and colourful hill tribes, discovering Sapa, with its French colonial past, on the way. Accommodation en–route to Sapa is in simple but clean guesthouses and the road journeys are long but rewarding.
UNCOVERING RURAL VIETNAM - Vietnam
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 6 DAYS – FROM £775
This extension itinerary is a unique chance scratch under the surface of the little explored area west of the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. A rural and traditional region, this tour offers an opportunity not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery but also to explore many vibrant local villages and to interact with their friendly local inhabitants. Easily combined with a more traditional itinerary of Vietnam, for those interested in rural Vietnam this tour can also be added to another of our tours ‘In Search of the Muong’.
HA GIANG EXPLORER - Vietnam
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 5 DAYS – FROM £740
Due to Hanoi’s location, Vietnam’s northern interior is easily reached and this fascinating journey from the capital is a wonderful introduction to what is a relatively undiscovered region of the north–east. An area famed for its untouched local traditions, unique cultures and colourful minority people, this itinerary is an excellent way to understand and explore Vietnam’s unrivalled diversity. Flexible, visits to this region can be from three to six nights whilst, when back in Hanoi, the tour could easily be extended to include Ha Long Bay, Hue, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City.
MEKONG RIVER HOUSEBOAT - Vietnam
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 3 DAYS – FROM £450
Synonymous with south–east Asia, this short itinerary offers the chance to uncover the Mekong Delta on a three day houseboat cruise. Simple elegance, comfort and fine hospitality characterise this leisurely journey and allow passing glimpses of the true Vietnam — a place of colours, floating markets and untouched villages. The local population here is an eclectic mix of Cham, Khmer, Chinese and Vietnamese and this all adds to the vibrant culture of the region whilst Cai Be, the houseboat base, is easily reached by car from Ho Chi Minh City.
