Overnight in Saigon.After our breakfast at the hotel, we take a half day city tour by visiting the War Remnants Museum to learn about the Vietnam War. We stroll past the scenes of everyday life on the way to the colonial quarter of Ho Chi Minh city. The city is home to beautiful architectures of the Opera House, the City Hall, the old Saigon Post Office, and more structures. We can hear about the glory days of French Indochina and how the modern Vietnamese culture continues to be influenced by the era.
In the late afternoon, we are picked up for departure through the countryside to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Our afternoon is spent exploring this incredible network of underground tunnels, 200 kilometers long and learn about its construction by the Vietnamese resistance fighters during the French and American wars. We crawl underground to see the relics of the wartime weapons and hear wonderful stories of the resistance and their life of turmoil in the labyrinth of caves and tunnels.

We start a boat trip from the Ninh Kieu boat station and cruise along the Can Tho River within bustling water traffic. We get an excellent chance to capture vivid images of the lively floating markets which start from twilight. The travelers can witness the enthralling beauty of the place. The native people are seen hustling to the pool, paddling their way and riding different kinds of boats for carrying other types of farm products to market for selling. Unlike other forms of market, the floating markets in the Mekong Delta have a colorful advertising culture which is enhanced by the products being hung on bamboo poles to show other traders what their boats are selling. From coffee, fruits, meat, shrimps, and fishes to the lottery tickets are all traded on the boats.

We visit the Tuol Sleng Museum (S-21 prison). It holds a dark past as it was used as a prison by Pol Pot's security forces where more than 17,000 people between 1975 and 1978, were held at and taken to the "Killing Fields" at Choeng Ek for execution. We then drive to visit the "Killing Fields" of Choeng Ek, a wartime execution camp about 15 km south of Phnom Penh. The 17,000 prisoners including men, women, children, infants, and foreigners were detained and tortured at the S-21 prison and transported to the extermination camp of Choeng Ek. We transfer overland to Kompong Thom by a private car and our tour guide.
Overnight in Kompong Thom.After breakfast at the hotel, we depart with an English speaking guide on a private air-conditioned vehicle, for an exploration of the Sambor Prei Kuk's temples. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful example of the Pre Angkorian art from the seventh century. We continue to discover the Kampong Khleang which is located about 50km from Siem Reap town by boat. The road leading to the site is good but slightly narrow. On this boat trip, we explore the floating villages that live on edges of the lake, passing submerged forest and fishing farms: arrival in Siem Reap, check-in at the hotel.
Overnight in Siem Reap.Breakfast at the hotel. We start our sightseeing tour by bike to the Angkor area where we spend our day exploring the spectacular ancient ruins. Famous for its series of giant human faces carved in stone at the South Gate of Angkor Thom, the impressive Bayon Temple, the Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephant Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King and Angkor Wat temple complex which is the largest and the most complete temple. This 12th-century architectural masterpiece covers an area of about 210 hectares. We then continue to Preah Khan, built in 1191 during the reign of King Jayavarman VII; a warrior king celebrated for reconstructing the once fragmented Khmer Empire. In 1165, when Jayavarman rushed home from the Cham Kingdom, he arrived too late to prevent Tribhuvanadityavarman from crowning himself as the King of the Khmers at the island of Neak Pean.
We continue our visit to the temple of Ta Prohm. The jungle covered temple is an astounding sight. Enormous fig trees and gigantic creepers embrace the stone foundations of the structure. Such a view gives us an impression of the powerful forces of nature reclaiming man's creation.
Overnight in Siem Reap.Early morning, we wake up to view the sunrise at Angkor Area – the reflection of the amazing Angkor temple in the morning sun is a sight to behold. We return to the hotel for breakfast. We head out of town as we make our way through a newly paved road to the temple of Banteay Srei which is intricately carved and very well preserved. On route, we stop over at the Preah Dark village and follow up with a visit to the Banteay Samre Temple. The temple adorned with impressive reliefs depict scenes of Hindu and Buddhist legends. We explore this masterpiece, and some of the temples nearby which includes Banteay Kdei, Sra Srong, Ta Keo, Thommanon and Chau Say Tevado.
