The drive to Hue with a coffee break at Big Angkor was such a nice touch. Royal Palace was my favorite stop - so different from anything else on the trip. The Citadel tour was interesting, but it’s big, so wear comfy shoes. Thanks, Asia Tour Deals - Best Vietnam Travel Agency.
The Hoian eco tour was a blast – riding a water buffalo, paddling a basket boat, and even catching a crab. The afternoon walking tour hit all the landmarks in the old town. This Vietnam Cambodia Itinerary 14 Days from Hanoi really packs in variety.
It was cool to see Vietnam and then suddenly be in Cambodia halfway through Vietnam Cambodia Itinerary 14 Days. The flight from Hanoi to Siem Reap was smooth, and arriving at our hotel there felt like starting a whole new adventure within the same tour.
Best Vietnam Tours Operator, actually! The overnight cruise in Halong Bay was one of my top memories from this trip. Calm water, limestone islands everywhere, and fresh seafood for dinner. I laid on the lounge chair, and felt the vibe. Woke up early for Tai Chi on the deck and a short rowboat trip before heading back. Top 1 for healing ngl.
Went to Ben Thanh market and it was so colorful. People selling everything from animals to handmade clothes. I loved the buzz of it all. The drive back to Hanoi was a bit tiring but worth it for the morning experience. If you have a chance, book this trip from Asia Tour Deals.
Khmer traditions are great !! I’ve to say it was so amusing and their culture was wonderful, from floating villages, silk workshops to local pagodas. SO ancient and affordable.. Thank Tom for introducing my Vietnam Cambodia Itinerary 14 Days memorable!
Vietnam Cambodia Itinerary 14 Days was extremely unforgettable with the drive to Halong Bay, the views made it worth it. My highlight was Hoi An not crowded, friendly locals, and the best sunset over Halong Bay town. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. I took way too many photos. But that’s ok, I love taking photos haha.
Tran Quoc Pagoda was such a peaceful start to the day. We grabbed coffee by West Lake before moving on to Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum and the Temple of Literature, and I’ve to admit that the coffee was outstanding hh. The cyclo ride through the Old Quarter was my favorite part – so much life on every street. Tks for a perfect trip, I rly appreciate that.
Hanoi Old Quarter is very beautiful ngl. The walking tour hit all the right spots like Hoan Kiem Lake and the Temple, and the water puppet show was better than I expected. I love the dinner with roll spring along with its. A great way to kick off the 14-day Vietnam and Cambodia itinerary from Hanoi.

Oliver Scott,
NewZealandHo Chi Minh City was a complete change of pace. The Reunification Palace, the old Post Office, and Ben Thanh Market all in one day made it feel full-on but fun. Evening walks by the night market were a nice way to slow it down.
