Welcome to Vietnam. Upon arrival, your driver will welcome and transfer you to your respective hotel. On the way, he will give you a brief explanation on your further trip.

Yet, within the teeming metropolis, you will find the timeless traditions and beauty of an ancient culture. This gorgeous city full of energy will dispel even the slightest feeling of jet lag.

This morning, we head out for a sightseeing tour. We take a short bus trip to Hoc Mon town where we will hire a cycle and ride through picturesque rice paddies and rubber plantations, making the way towards the renowned Cu Chi Tunnels. This tunnel is a twisting network of narrow underground tunnels and rooms the Viet Cong used as its military base and living quarters during the Vietnam War. Here, we can learn about the underground lifestyle of the Viet Cong, and we can also explore the network of tunnels on foot. After visiting this astonishing site, we will stop for a short lunch break at a local restaurant. After lunch, we drive back to Ho Chi Minh City for the afternoon tour. We head out to visit some of the most significant sites of the city. Firstly, we will visit the Reunification Palace, an incredible structure of 1960s architecture, steeped in modern history. It was the spot where the Vietnam War came to an end in 1975 when the city of Saigon fell after a North Vietnamese army tank collided on the palace gates, from which point the city came to known as Ho Chi Minh City. Next, we will visit other notable landmarks like the Notre Dame Cathedral, an impressive neo-Romanesque Catholic cathedral built in the late 19th century, the Saigon Post Office, which is a classic French building that bears an impressive portrait of Uncle Ho and many grand architectural details. To conclude the day's trip, we will visit the famed Ben Thanh Market, a huge vibrant marketplace where you can find everything from fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, and sweets, to suitcases, clothing and white goods, traditional lacquerware, handicrafts, and kitschy tourist trinkets. Go for shopping around the place while haggling with the vendors. Even if you are not thinking of buying anything, visit around the market, the market itself is a spectacle to witness.

Today we will be moving towards relatively less busy roads. We start the morning with a drive towards the Mekong Delta region. Once we reach the starting point, we ready our bikes and start riding on the serene roads towards the Mekong delta.

Phnom Penh, formerly known as the Pearl of Asia, this city has some of the greatest architectures in the world. The city's architecture and planning look a lot like that of Singapore's. Although the impact of revolution and war demolishes now many architectures, the city is again regaining its shine.

After breakfast, head out to the Roluos group, located just outside Siem Reap. The temples date back to the late ninth century and are believed to denote the beginning of the 'classic period' in Khmer architecture. We continue our ride south toward the vast wetlands on the edge of Asia's largest freshwater lake, Tonle Sap. The lake's size and depth increase with the annual monsoon rains by as much as six times, and local people have found ingenious ways to live with the ever-changing water world. Kampong Kleang is a stilted village settlement of over 20,000 people where structures tower up to ten meters above the water. Here you can learn about the lives of the subsistence fishing families who call this water-world home. Following lunch, we head north toward our final destination for the day, Beng Mealea, a sprawling jungle temple covering over a square km. This temple is largely overrun by vegetation and less frequently visited, giving it an adventurous, 'lost temple' feel. Trees growing from the moss-covered towers and galleries offer some fantastic opportunities for photography.
