Personal expenses such as souvenirs, optional activities, extra meals, and gratuities are not included.

Yes. The tour’s included services list “Flights,” and the itinerary shows a flight from Hanoi to Siem Reap as part of the journey. That segment is covered in the €1120 price, along with the associated airport transfers.

All entrance fees mentioned in the itinerary are already included. However, optional excursions not listed, personal souvenirs, extra meals beyond those provided, alcoholic beverages, and gratuities for guides, drivers, and hotel staff are paid by the traveler. Some specialty meals or drinks offered during cultural performances may also be extra.

The operator typically allows a deposit to secure the reservation with the remaining balance due a few weeks before departure. Exact installment options, minimum deposit, and payment deadlines vary, so you should contact the tour provider directly to arrange a payment plan that fits your budget.

A standard policy applies: full refund (minus processing fees) if cancellation is made more than 30 days before the start date, 50 % refund for cancellations between 30 and 14 days, and no refund for cancellations less than 14 days before departure. Changes to the travel date are subject to availability and may incur a re‑booking fee. Always confirm the exact terms with the operator before booking.

Travel insurance is not mandatory for booking, but it is strongly recommended. A comprehensive policy should cover medical emergencies, trip interruption, baggage loss, and any activities such as cycling or boat rides. Some airlines may require proof of insurance for international flights, so check the specific requirements of your carrier.

Most days begin with a brief morning briefing around 08:00 am, followed by the scheduled activity. Lunch is typically served around 12:30 pm, and afternoon programs run until about 17:00 pm. Evening meals and optional cultural shows start after 19:00 pm, with free time thereafter. Exact times can vary depending on travel distances and local opening hours.

The meeting point is the lobby of the designated Hanoi hotel where you will stay on the first night. If you arrive by air, the guide will also meet you in the arrivals hall of Noi Bai International Airport and escort you to the hotel before the official start of the tour.

Yes. All airport transfers listed in the itinerary are included: the transfer from Hanoi airport to the hotel, the flight to Ho Chi Minh City and its airport‑hotel‑airport connections, and the final flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap with accompanying ground transport to the hotel in Siem Reap.

The cruise allows one medium‑size suitcase (up to 20 kg) and a small personal bag per passenger. Larger items should be stored in the hotel before boarding. The crew assists with loading and unloading, and there is limited cabin space, so packing light is advisable.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Most European citizens need an e‑visa or visa on arrival for Cambodia, while Vietnam is visa‑free for many EU passports for stays up to 15 days. The tour does not include visa fees, so you must arrange any required visas before departure.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your final departure from Siem Reap. Additionally, it should have at least two blank pages for entry stamps and any visa stickers required for Cambodia.

As of the latest information, neither Vietnam nor Cambodia mandates a COVID‑19 test or vaccination certificate for entry, but requirements can change quickly. Travelers should verify the most current health entry rules with the embassies or official government websites a few days before departure.

Yes. The itinerary includes family‑friendly activities such as a boat cruise, cultural workshops, and gentle cycling tours. Most excursions involve moderate walking and short boat rides, which are appropriate for children 8 years and older. Parents should ensure children are comfortable with occasional stairs and boat movement.

A moderate fitness level is sufficient. The cycling segment covers flat countryside roads of about 10‑15 km per day, and paddle‑boat rides involve short, leisurely trips on calm water. Some walking on uneven stone steps at heritage sites is required, but there are no strenuous hikes or high‑altitude climbs.

Solo travelers are welcome. The tour runs with a small group (typically up to 15 participants), providing a social atmosphere while still allowing personal space. An English‑speaking guide leads the entire group, and solo travelers often find it easy to make connections with fellow guests.

The tour includes four UNESCO sites: Ha Long Bay (Vietnam), Hoi An Ancient Town (Vietnam), My Son Sanctuary (Vietnam), and the Angkor Archaeological Park – featuring Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom – in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Each site is explored with a knowledgeable guide who provides historical context.

Yes. After the morning city tour of Hanoi’s key sights, the itinerary provides an evening free‑time slot, allowing you to wander the Old Quarter, shop, or enjoy a local café at your leisure. The guide can suggest nearby attractions if you need ideas.

For first‑time visitors, the Vietnam to Cambodia 14‑Day Treasures Tour offers a well‑balanced mix of iconic landmarks, cultural experiences, and comfortable logistics. It covers the most popular destinations—Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta, and Angkor—while providing a guide who explains history and customs, which helps newcomers feel confident and safe.

Booking the tour removes the need to coordinate flights, visas, ground transport, and accommodation on your own. All logistics are handled by the operator, and the English‑speaking guide offers local insights, priority entry at major sites, and assistance with language barriers. This often results in a smoother experience, better value for entrance fees, and more time spent exploring rather than organizing.
