Tours for Indochina

Our Discovery collection draws together the best of our holidays that focus on the culture of a destination, as well as on visiting iconic sights and embracing local traditions. Some of these Discovery holidays will also have an element of activity, combining sightseeing with short walks, for example. Others might have a multi-activity holiday format, including biking and/or rafting, for instance, and these holidays are specifically designed for the adrenaline seeker! Also within our discovery collection are those of our holidays with a wildlife emphasis, photographic workshops, and polar cruise holidays. Never too physically demanding, these are predominantly touring holidays and their grade (usually towards the lower end of our 1 to 12 scale) reflects, in part, the remoteness of the area visited and the conditions likely to be encountered. Our Discovery holidays allow the discerning traveller to get right to the heart of many of the world's most stimulating destinations.

Saigon to Bangkok

This fantastic cultural journey begins in Saigon, with its evocative mix of ancient pagodas, ramshackle streets and modern skyscrapers. We have a walking tour of the city and also visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, before driving to the Mekong Delta, for a village homestay and a boat trip to the colourful floating markets of Phong Dien and Cai Rang. A morning's ferry ride then takes us from Vietnam into Cambodia, where our exploration includes the temples and palaces of downtown Phnom Penh, as well as the tragic Killing Fields. Continuing our journey by ferry to Siem Reap, we have 2 days to discover the magic of the iconic Angkor Wat temple complex. Then, after crossing the border into Thailand, we take a boat out to the island of Koh Chang for a relaxing 2-night stay at a beach hotel. A free evening in the bustling city of Bangkok brings this wide-ranging holiday to a suitably exotic conclusion.

Get beyond the tourist façade of the countries you visit. Focus on the local culture, past and present, and discover the lifeblood of any country – its people. Discovery and culture tours uncover different ways of life, and offer the opportunity to meet and sometimes stay with local people or tribal groups. Our discovery tours explore cultural sites – both ancient and modern – and help you learn about the people and their culture. Visit the remote tribes of Ethiopia’s Rift Valley, live the nomad life in desert camps or meet the local people of the high Andean altiplano in Peru. There’s no better way to get to the true heart of a country than through its people.
