Fly into Vietnam’s largest city, a sprawling metropolis comprising everything from narrow alleyways to new world skyscrapers. Home to over 9 million people, Ho Chi Minh City is still known to many as Saigon, and features remnants of French colonial charm alongside busy street food stalls and neon lights.
Set out with your private guide to explore the city’s main landmarks, including the Museum of Vietnam History. The museum features exhibits on the Vietnamese culture and its development, partly as a struggle for independence from Chinese domination and partly as the march southwards by the Viet people from the Red River Valley, absorbing ethnic groups and territory along the way. Stop to see the Reunification Palace, French colonial Notre Dame cathedral, and the Main Post Office.
Later, enjoy a private walking tour of the thematic streets of Saigon. From birds to bonsai to antiques, there is a street for everything. Browse local markets selling everything from decorative flowers to wartime objects.
Embark on a journey back in time to Vietnam in 1930s with Hôtel des Arts boutique lifestyle hotel in Saigon. Combining the classical charm of French Indochina with a sense of timeless chic, the hotel is as much an art museum as it is a 5-star hotel. The Social Club restaurant and rooftop bar on the 23rd floor pays homage to an era of speakeasy gatherings, while Saigon Kitchen offers a stylish and unique design inspired by classic Asian street food markets. The Café des Beaux Arts takes a detour from French elegance on its journey to old world glamour, with a light and airy interior where you can take your afternoon tea to the soft sounds of piano music while enjoying a book from our library.

Journey through the lush countryside northwest of Saigon to Cu Chi, where you will learn about the vast underground network of tunnels (totaling 155 miles!) used during the war. These tunnels, once used by the Viet Cong as shelter to infiltrate the city during the Tet Offensive of 1968, are now maintained as a museum. Afterward, return to Saigon and tour the War Remnants Museum, depicting the Vietnamese perspective of French occupation and the “American War.” This evening, enjoy a food and nightlife tour of Saigon by Vespa. Zip around the city like a local with stops at a rooftop bar, Vietnamese street food stalls, artsy cafes and more.

The ruined capital of the powerful Khmer kingdom, Angkor flourished from the 10th to the 15th centuries and comprises some 400 sandstone, brick and laterite temples, walls, tombs and other structures surrounded by jungle. Begin your temple exploration with Preah Khan, “The Sacred Sword” temple dedicated by Jayavarman VII to his father and Neak Pean, the temple built as a sort of healing center, with pools representing water, earth, wind, and fire.
Finish the day at Ta Prohm and experience the feeling of a modern day “Indiana Jones” in this temple which is slowly being swallowed up by the jungle.
Set out for Angkor Thom, royal city of the 12th century god-king Jayavarman VII. Explore Bayon, with its 54 symmetrical towers topped by giant stone faces, the Terrace of the Leper King, and Phimeanakas, where the god king made a nightly rendezvous with the sex goddess! Enjoy an afternoon rest at your hotel during the heat of the day, then continue your temple exploration with the jewel of Cambodia: Angkor Wat, whose temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing.

Hop a flight to the bustling metropolis of Bangkok, a city that fuses cutting edge modernity with old Thai charm. Set on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, the capital of Thailand has a bit of everything: from golden wats (temples) to soaring skyscrapers, the old and the new can be found everywhere, with delectable street stalls hawking aromatic delicacies in between. Embark with your private guide and driver for a full day of sightseeing focusing on the city’s historic and artistic treasures. Start with an early visit to the Grand Palace complex, once home to Thai Royalty and perhaps one of the most spectacular sites in all of Thailand. Explore the numerous halls and pavilions with their colorful mosaics and glittering spires. A highlight is the magnificent royal chapel of Wat Phra Kaeo, housing the most sacred Buddha image in all of Southeast Asia, the Emerald Buddha. Over the centuries, countries have warred over this image of Buddha and it has, at one time or another, resided in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
Afterward, board a longtail boat to explore the klongs, Bangkok’s maze of canals and waterways – see parts of Thai traditional life which have disappeared from most of modern Bangkok.
In the afternoon, visit the former residence of the American silk entrepreneur, Jim Thompson, who generated much of the current global popularity of Thai silk.
