10-day Package of Indochina's Highlights: Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos

As your plane touches down at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, you will feel the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City welcoming you. This bustling metropolis, once known as Saigon, is today the beating heart of Vietnam, where tradition and modernity coexist in perfect harmony.

In the morning or afternoon, depending on your flight schedule, you will be greeted by our representative and enjoy a comfortable transfer to your hotel. During the drive, the first glimpses of the city will unveil a fascinating contrast: scooters flowing like rivers through the streets, colonial buildings standing proudly beside glass skyscrapers, and the scent of street food that hints at the flavors awaiting you.

The rest of the day is yours to relax and recover from the journey. Take this time to settle in, wander around the nearby streets, or simply breathe in the atmosphere of a city that never seems to sleep.

In the evening, you will rest in your hotel, the perfect retreat to recharge and prepare for the discoveries that await in the coming days.

Greca Tip: If you arrive with energy, take a short evening walk around your hotel—this city reveals its soul most vividly through its lively night markets.

This morning, after a nourishing breakfast, you will leave the lively streets of Ho Chi Minh City behind to journey toward the enchanting Mekong Delta. Known as the “rice bowl of Vietnam,” this fertile region has sustained life for centuries with its endless waterways and lush landscapes.

By mid-morning, you will embark on a serene cruise along the Mekong River, gliding past stilt houses and coconut palms. On one of the islands near My Tho, the warm melodies of traditional southern music will welcome you as you sip fragrant tea sweetened with honey and taste fresh seasonal fruits. Later, aboard a small paddle boat, you will drift through narrow canals shaded by water coconut palms. It is here that you will discover a way of life where boats replace cars and canals become the streets of the community.

At noon, a delicious lunch awaits, where the famed “Elephant-Ear Fish” will be served alongside other regional specialties. In the afternoon, your exploration continues at Vinh Trang Pagoda, an architectural gem blending Vietnamese, Khmer, and European influences, home to serene Buddha statues that inspire peace.

In the evening, you will return to Ho Chi Minh City, where your hotel accommodation will provide comfort and rest after a day steeped in culture and natural beauty.

Greca Tip: Bring a hat and sunscreen—under the Mekong sun, even the calmest boat ride becomes a golden memory.

The morning begins with a hearty breakfast, preparing us for a journey into one of Vietnam’s most extraordinary historical sites: the Cu Chi Tunnels. Stretching more than 250 kilometers, this underground labyrinth was first built in 1948 to aid the Viet Minh in their fight against French colonial rule. Later, during the Vietnam War, it became legendary as a strategic stronghold that allowed the Viet Cong to control vast rural areas just 65 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City.

As we explore the tunnels, you will discover how they housed living quarters, kitchens, hospitals, and even storage facilities—an entire hidden world carved into the earth, where air vents cleverly disguised as termite mounds ensured survival.

In the afternoon, we return to bustling Ho Chi Minh City to uncover its most emblematic landmarks. At the War Remnants Museum, history speaks through poignant exhibits, while the Reunification Palace recalls the dramatic end of the conflict in 1975. We will admire the French colonial elegance of Notre Dame Cathedral and the Old Post Office, both enduring symbols of the city’s past.

Finally, we step into the incense-scented halls of Thien Hau Pagoda, a Chinese-style temple dedicated to the sea goddess, where spiraling incense coils hang from the ceiling like blessings drifting upward.

The day concludes with overnight in Ho Chi Minh City, surrounded by the vibrant energy of this dynamic metropolis.

Greca Tip: if you wish to deepen the experience at Cu Chi, try crawling through one of the tunnel sections—just a few meters underground will give you a vivid sense of the past.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we will transfer to the bus station for our overland journey to Siem Reap.

This long but rewarding trip unfolds across the vibrant landscapes of Vietnam and Cambodia, passing rural villages, rice paddies, and everyday scenes of local life. It is a unique opportunity to admire the countryside from a different perspective, far from the rhythm of the big cities.

Upon arrival at the bus station in Siem Reap, our driver will be waiting to transfer us to the hotel. After check-in, you may choose to rest and recover from the journey, or take a gentle evening stroll through the city’s lively streets.

Greca Tip: Don’t miss the Siem Reap night markets, where you can discover unique handicrafts and savor authentic Cambodian street food.

The morning begins with a delicious breakfast, after which you will have the entire day free to discover Siem Reap at your own pace. You may choose to wander through the bustling markets filled with handicrafts, explore hidden temples beyond the well-trodden paths of Angkor, or simply relax and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of the city. The day is yours to create unforgettable moments—whether immersing yourself in local culture, savoring Khmer cuisine, or unwinding in one of the city’s charming cafés.

We will spend the night in Siem Reap, a city that seamlessly blends ancient heritage with modern vibrancy.

Greca Tip: for a truly unique experience, consider visiting the lively Pub Street in the evening, where you can enjoy traditional Khmer dishes, local street food, and a vibrant nightlife atmosphere.

After savoring a delightful breakfast, set out for a full day immersed in the wonders of the legendary Angkor Archaeological Park, where every temple whispers tales of Cambodia’s majestic past.

We begin at the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument. Its detailed bas-reliefs and soaring spires never fail to captivate, leaving visitors in quiet admiration. Next, continue to the enchanting Ta Prohm, where massive tree roots weave through the stone walls, creating an almost dreamlike scene. This temple, left largely untouched by restoration, perfectly illustrates the delicate balance between nature and human achievement.

After a short return to the hotel for a break, the adventure resumes at Angkor Thom, the “Great City.” Step through the grand South Gate, with its striking stone faces, and make your way to the Victory Gate on the eastern side.

Walk along the Terrace of the Elephants, a 300-meter platform once used for royal processions, and discover the Terrace of the Leper King, named after its mysterious statue that continues to intrigue historians and travelers alike. Each monument within Angkor Thom reveals another layer of the Khmer Empire’s vision, artistry, and spirituality.

Greca Tip: To fully enjoy the magic of the temples, carry a hat, stay hydrated, and, if possible, explore in the early morning or late afternoon, when the golden light enhances their timeless beauty.

We will begin the day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel before heading to Siem Reap International Airport for our flight to Luang Prabang (approx. 1 hour 45 minutes).

Upon arrival at Luang Prabang Airport, you will be warmly welcomed and transferred to your hotel for check-in. The rest of the day is free for you to relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage city at your own pace. Overnight in Luang Prabang.

Greca Tip: Take a leisurely evening stroll through the Luang Prabang Night Market, where you’ll find handmade crafts, textiles, and local delicacies—a perfect way to experience the city’s charm.

We begin our day at the break of dawn, stepping into the quiet streets of Luang Prabang to witness a tradition that has endured for generations. The gentle rustle of saffron robes fills the air as hundreds of monks collect alms from the faithful—a serene and humbling ritual. For those who wish, a stroll through the vibrant morning market reveals the town awakening, its stalls brimming with fresh produce and handmade crafts, before returning to the hotel for breakfast.

In the late morning, we set off to the breathtaking Kuang Si Waterfall, a cascade of turquoise waters framed by lush jungle. A leisurely hike along the trails leads us closer to the falls, and for the adventurous, a climb to the top unveils a pool perfect for a refreshing swim.

The afternoon is dedicated to the city’s rich heritage. We explore the Royal Palace Museum, where the treasures of Laos’ former monarchy shine, and wander through Luang Prabang’s elegant temples: Wat Visoun, Wat Aham, and Wat Xiengthong, each revealing centuries of devotion and artistry.

At Wat Mai, we connect with the monks and absorb the spiritual ambiance. Our day culminates with a climb up Phousi Hill, where the sunset casts golden light over the town, followed by a leisurely walk through the colorful night bazaar.

Greca Tip: Bring comfortable shoes and a water bottle—the climb to Phousi Hill rewards you with one of the most enchanting views in Laos.

We wake up with the promise of a day filled with mystery and beauty along the Mekong River. After a comforting breakfast, we board a traditional long-tail boat for a two-hour cruise that will take us to the enigmatic Pak Ou Cave. As we sail, small Laotian villages shyly appear through the thick vegetation, and wooden boats gently sway by the riverbank, tied to bamboo poles, while floats mark the location of fishing nets and traps, revealing the daily life of those who inhabit these shores.

Upon arrival at Pak Ou, we step into its two large sacred caves, witnesses of centuries of devotion. Thousands of Buddha images, from tiny figurines to statues over two meters tall, greet us—each one carrying its own story and spiritual energy—creating a space of reverence and contemplation.

In the afternoon, we return to Luang Prabang by private vehicle and enjoy free time to explore the city at our own pace, wandering its colonial streets or discovering hidden corners full of charm.

Greca Tip: Wear comfortable shoes and bring a small flashlight; exploring the caves allows you to notice surprising details of the statues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
