Vietnam & Angkor Wat

Scroll

If you come to Vietnam for the delicious food, dramatic landscapes and bustling markets, you will stay for the people whose complex history and rich heritage continue to seduce even the most seasoned travellers. Be humbled by the recounting of war-time stories with French colonial buildings as a backdrop in Ho Chi Minh City. Embrace the sense of awe that takes over while waking up to the dragon-like island formations dotting Ha Long Bay. Get up close and personal with locals while discovering true foodie culture, spanning from humble broths to rich curries. The sprawling temples of Angkor will leave you speechless, as Cambodia’s ancient traditions contrast with modern culture.

Our happy travellers rave about Vietnam

AMAZING VIETNAM & ANGKOR WAT

AMAZING VIETNAM & ANGKOR WAT. Our first trip with Approach and we were very impressed. It was all we expected and more! Excellent accommodations and food. Terrific GURU MIRIAM, and excellent local guides. The itinerary was JAM PACKED with amazing sites to enjoy, and then “surprise treats” also. We actually laid back on a couple of the day tours, just to relax, savor the moment, and recharge our internal batteries for the next outing! And that worked out well for us! A great company to travel with.

What a wonderful, stress-free way to travel

Vietnam & Angkor Wat – 21 days – What a wonderful, stress-free way to travel – all details managed for us, all meals and tips handled on our group’s behalf so that we weren’t scrambling through wallets whenever we had a sampan, bike, bus or tuk-tuk ride. All we had to do was to soak in the moment and enjoy the experience and our fellow travellers. Our Group Guru and local expert guides were efficient, lots of fun and very helpful; always looking for ways to enhance our experience. Looking forward to our next trip with Approach Tours!

We felt very looked after

My husband and I went on the Vietnam & Anchor Wat tour from February 16-March 6, 2024. We absolutely had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this tour with Approach Tours. We liked that Approach Tours is based in Canada and the prices quoted are all inclusive. There are no hidden costs. Communication with the company before, during and after the tour was excellent. We felt very looked after by our Guru, Miriam and our Vietnam and Cambodia guides. They were very professional, approachable, well organized and knowledgeable.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested and open to experiencing an active fun-filled tour filled with history and cultural experiences. The Vietnam & Anchor Wat tour journal and itinerary is very well put together and is very informative as to what to expect every day. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Approach Tours.

Everyone had a lot of fun

I just returned from a Vietnam & Cambodia tour held during March 2024. It was a wonderful tour managed by three very passionate tour guides. They always looked after our needs and wishes. All the places we saw and activities provided were very varied and interesting. Everyone had a lot of fun. Food was delicious and wonderful. We even visited a couple of places where Anthony Bordain and Obama had dined. Accommodations were also all very good and appreciated. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

We would happily book with them again

This was our first time using Approach Tours and we are so glad we did. We have traveled extensively and used other companies and must say, this was one of the best! We were on the Vietnam Cambodia tour for 20 days and did so many things that we never would have thought of. The guides and their company were right there with ideas and suggestions that were customized just for us to be sure we were satisfied at every turn. We would happily book with them again. Thank you Le and Dang.

There was something for everyone on this trip

Recently returned to Canada from the 19 day Vietnam & Angkor Wat tour with Approach Tours. There was something for everyone on this trip. The accommodation, the meals, the service were top notch! My fellow travelers were fun and full of adventure. Our tour guru Marie-Claude was exceptional. She handled any hiccups with grace and diplomacy. The local buses and national tour guides were fun and full of information. We did a lot of travelling and saw many interesting sites. Thank you Approach Tours!
