Vietnam & Cambodia Real Food Adventure

< View Other Tours

Tour Overview

Chop, slice and chomp your way through the diverse flavours of South East Asia on this mouth-watering adventure into Vietnam and Cambodia. Vietnam’s prized cuisine is bursting with fresh, spicy and complex flavours, while across the border, Cambodia’s food is humble, often unexplored and no less delicious. Drink in cafes and beer halls that sprawl out over city streets, buy fruit from wicker baskets draped over a vendor’s shoulders and sit at market stalls as aromatic noodle soups are whipped up in front of you. From a sunset cruise on Ha Long Bay and a cycle past herb farms near Hoi An to discovering the French influence of Phnom Penh and meeting charming local communities at Preah Dak, these South East Asian powerhouses will fill you with great food and even more memorable experiences.

Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Embrace your adventurous side on a tour of Hue’s imperial monuments from the back of a motorbike (the local way of getting around). Then be treated to lunch, specially prepared for you by a chef who is the descendant of the royal family in the garden of their family home.

  • Don’t just taste your way around this foodie haven, don your chef hat and learn the recipes behind these incredible eats, too. Learn the secret spices directly from local chefs (often in their own homes) and be guided to the freshest ingredients in authentic local markets.

  • Explore the Mekong Delta – known as ‘Vietnam’s rice bowl’ for its abundance of rice paddies, fruit and flower orchards. Cruise on a traditional sampan, then meet fresh produce vendors along the way to your veranda-wrapped homestay for the evening.

  • Visit Ha Long Bay – a truly bucket list experience – and set sail on the emerald-green waters, gliding between limestone karsts and staying on a traditional junk boat for the evening.

  • Head to a small village for a traditional homemade breakfast of Khmer noodles, then spend the day roaming the Angkor complex – maybe the most important site in all of Cambodia and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
