Saigon to Luang Prabang – 11 Days
Join us on a magical journey through Vietnam and Laos, where vibrant cities, serene landscapes and rich cultural heritage await. Begin in Saigon, where history comes alive through French colonial landmarks and bustling markets. Visit Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to dive into ancient architecture and artisanal crafts. Then head to Hanoi, to sample street food and explore historical sites. Finally, arrive in the spiritual heart of Laos, Luang Prabang, where traditional Lao and French colonial architecture blend seamlessly along the Mekong River.
In Luang Prabang, participate in Buddhist culture through dawn alms giving and visit riverside villages and the sacred Pak Ou Caves. This tour offers a unique combination of culinary experiences, from Vietnamese street food tours to cooking classes in Hoi An, and private cruises on the Mekong River. A Halong Bay cruise is also a highlight of the Vietnam portion of the journey.
Guided city tours are included in major destinations such as Hanoi, Hue, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, and Luang Prabang, allowing you to discover cultural landmarks and attractions with expert insight.
SAIGON: Uncover Saigon’s layers of history where French colonial meets street life. Walk through historic landmarks, bustling markets and Chinatown’s colourful alleys. This city is a fascinating mix of old and new, Vietnam’s past and present.
HOI AN: Step into Hoi An’s ancient town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved architecture and rich cultural history as a former trading port. Take a walking tour to explore its lantern lit houses, visit traditional workshops, and meet local artisans preserving centuries old crafts. From custom made silk garments to hand made lanterns, Hoi An is a living museum of Vietnam’s cultural heritage.
HANOI: Taste Hanoi’s soul through its famous street food—bun cha, pho and fresh spring rolls—served in historic quarters and markets. Mix food with culture as you explore ancient temples, French architecture and the lively streets of Vietnam’s capital where every meal has a story to tell.
LUANG PRABANG: Feel the peacefulness of Luang Prabang at dawn during an alms giving ceremony, a tradition that has been around for centuries. Cruise the Mekong to the sacred Pak Ou Caves, visit golden roofed temples and stroll along the quiet streets lined with colonial charm. This sacred town is a blend of culture, faith and natural beauty.
The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.
