A Travel Club Elite guest shares their experience of Cox & Kings’ Grand Tour of Indochina, summarising the tour & highlighting the trip’s standout experiences:

In summary:

• A well-structured tour with incredible experiences, sightseeing and fascinating locations.
• We had Minh, an exceptional local guide from Vidotours Indochina, plus a local guide in Cambodia who was also very good.
• The hotels were all good, although more typically 4* but with good service and facilities
• The Royal Sands Hotel in Koh Rong was exceptional and a truly beautiful 5* resort
• We loved Vietnam – the people, the culture, the learnings and experiences and the energy – a very memorable country
• Cambodia was excellent, although of course some of it was difficult to absorb (as with the Vietnam War) but good to see and hear
• The group of less than 18 was perfect. We bonded very well with like-minded, similar ages and backgrounds. It was a fantastic group of people

Absolute Highlights:

• Train Street
• The buzz and energy of Scooters and traffic in Hanoi!
• Halong Bay
• The Golden (Hands) Bridge
• Nguyen Dynasty Home Visit
• Angkor Wat
• The Royal Sands
