Welcome to Vietnam & Cambodia 2020
“The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.”
Tour Highlights:
Welcome to Vietnam!! Arrive Ho Chi Minh City, the economic capital of Vietnam. Our friendly representative picks you up at the airport and you will be transferred to the hotel.

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is located at the heart of the southern part of Viet Nam, between the northern edge of the Mekong Delta and the South-East region of volcanic red soil. Being a transformation between the two terrains, Ho Chi Minh City is intertwined with natural forest, vast plains, long coast and hundreds of rivers and canals. The Saigon River winds around the city and connect it with the East Sea. It is nicknamed "Pearl of the Far East."
Nowadays, Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam, a major hub for commercial, tourist and cultural activities. It's the mesmerizing gateway to Vietnam where traditional and modern influences live side by side. High-rises loom over shabby French colonial villas; conical-hatted street vendors plod past karaoke bars and glitzy shops.
