Vietnam and Cambodia

...two remarkable destinations for the curious traveller

Vietnam and Cambodia can be explored in depth, on their own but to have a really contrasting experience I love to put these two countries together as one trip. Clients often return to do elements of these countries from their first experience again in more detail.


Vietnam

Vietnam brims with colour, contrasts and flavour. Vietnam conjures up images of tantalising street food, the limestone karsts of Halong Bay and city streets alive with motorbikes and market stalls. It is all this - but there are so many more captivating experiences that many travellers overlook. This is where our expertise comes in.


You can drink in the jazz bars of Hanoi and fish on the banks of the Mekong, discover life in mountain villages and zip down the coast on the back of a Vespa. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You really can uncover the true essence of Vietnam.


Since Vietnam is so diverse, we want to understand what kind of travel experience you’re seeking. Are you looking for something more adventurous and off-the-beaten-track, or perhaps a balance of city exploring and beach relaxation.


Cambodia

Cambodia is just getting more and  more incredible - and I can take you to its very heart. Cambodia is a country of light and shade, rising out of its bloody history with undoubted resilience and sparkling energy. Grand turreted temples and intricate monuments showcase the formidable talents of the mighty Khmer empire while elegant bars, modern architecture and the brightness of its people bring us into the present.


A beautiful beach retreat, a wild and wonderful jungle lodge, an atmospheric city sanctuary - or a taste of it all? What will your holiday of a lifetime to Cambodia look like?


The whole country is teaming with epic, atmospheric, enigmatic experiences.
