Vietnam to Cambodia Group Tour

20-day Southeast Asia adventure from Hanoi to Siem Reap by bus and boat

Illustration of Vietnam to Cambodia Group Tour

Euroventure's 20-day Vietnam to Cambodia group adventure begins in Hanoi and concludes in Siem Reap, moving through eight destinations by bus and boat. Small groups of up to 25 travellers are guided by both Western and local leaders, with dorm room accommodation and more than 12 pre-selected meals included. The route unfolds from Hanoi's Old Quarter and Ha Long Bay through the rural cycling and jungle of Phong Nha, the ancient port town of Hoi An, the bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, and the island paradise of Koh Rong before crossing into Cambodia for Phnom Penh's historical sites and Siem Reap's Angkor Wat sunrise. Days balance cultural exploration, outdoor activities like kayaking and zip-lining, and social time; your first evening includes a bar crawl in Hanoi, and Day 4 offers cycling through Bong Lai Valley with optional hammocks and river floating. This tour suits first-time Southeast Asia visitors, solo travellers, budget-conscious explorers, and those who prefer the structure of group guidance and pre-arranged logistics.
