"PhotoFly guides gave us a historical, cultural, and environmental view of large cities, beautiful countryside, and rural villages.

Part 1: Cambodia (5 nights)

Discover Siem Reap - Free time to shop and eat along Pub Street\, visit the Angkor National Museum\, Artisans Angkor\, and indulge in delicious\, authentic cuisine. In northwest Cambodia\, it is the second largest city in the country\, renowned for its ancient Khmer history\, bustling night markets\, and warm local culture
The Khmer Genius of Angkor Wat - Privately guided temple trail tour through 2\,000 years of history! Witness and photograph ancient jungle temples\, sacred statues of giant Buddha faces\, and the main temple built in the early 12th century\, from which the complex takes its name. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a Theravada Buddhist temple complex and the largest religious complex in the world.
Cambodia's Great Lake - Tonlé Sap Lake changes in size from 1\,860 square miles to 4\,500 square miles every year between the dry and wet seasons! Observe the wonders of rural Khmer life where the locals live and thrive on the water - both figuratively and literally.
Giving among temples - We helped build a bridge here in 2011 so the children could safely cross a river on the way to school. In 2013 we contributed toward a new school kitchen where many of the children get their only nutritious meal of the day. In 2015 we donated funds to help build a new library so the children can continue learning after school. And in 2018 we donated funds toward a bicycle repair project to provide more bikes to children in the village. This year’s project is still in the works and we’ll announce the exciting details to all those signed up in the coming months. Join us on this unforgettable experience where we will interact and see firsthand what village life is like in rural Cambodia. They welcome visitors with enthusiasm since so few travelers make it out to their rural home
Temple Ruins of Koh Ker: An Epicenter of Khmer Life - Explore and photograph an ancient city filled with temple ruins unlike anywhere else in the Khmer empire. While here, explore the ruins of a 10th-century complex featuring several Hindu temples, including a 7-tiered pyramid. During a period of upheaval, this was once a royal capital of a newly established dynasty way from Angkor Wat. Today, it is much less visited compared to other sites and we may some of the few tourists taking in the site!

Part 2: The Best of Vietnam (5 Nights)

Southern Vietnam
Covering the area around Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Southern Vietnam is unique and stands out as one of the most important regions in all of Southeast Asia. Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon) is a "compelling clash of commercial clout and colonial grandeur, showcasing soaring skyscrapers next to tree-lined boulevards, and a lingering aura of French finesse." - Frommer's

Tour of Ho Chi Minh City - This southern city is an financial and economic powerhouse within Vietnam. While here\, you will see some of the major sites including the Notre Dame Cathedral\, the Reunification Palace\, War Remnant Museum\, Ben Thanh Market\, and other local markets and cafes. Aboard our private shuttle and on foot\, a local guide will gladly showcase some of the highlights here with plenty of surprise visits along the way.
Cu Chi Tunnels - Visit the vast underground network of tunnels built first as a defense against the French\, and later expanded during the American war. Located north of the city\, it is an outdoor museum showing the immense complexity\, dedication\, and sacrifices made by soldiers during this horrific period of fighting.

Vietnam Central Coast: Tropical Paradise
If you’ve come all the way to Vietnam, it would be a shame not to experience some of the best beaches and coastline the country has to offer. Experience the region at your pace by relaxing in the sand, photographing the pristine beaches, sightseeing through traditional or modern cities, and exploring cultural oddities of the Central Coast.

Here\, one can explore the quieter back alleys away from the main thoroughfares at a relaxed pace in search of great
Bicycle through Craft Villages - The river flowing through Hoi An\, the Thu Bon River\, has a vast network of islands and islets perfect for two-wheel exploration. Cycle down quiet roads\, pass lush paddies and waterways fringed with water coconut palms.
