TESTIMONIALS
The trip was outstanding. A very different culture that was fully enhanced by our guide Chan. Food was sooo good. Always count on S& S to make adjustments and fix glitches seamlessly. Finally got my sister to come on a trip so she could see how great it is to travel this way. She was hooked.

The local guides really made the difference. Cahn and Choo were amazing. Both gave us great insights into the places we visited, as well as their perspectives on their countries. Overall, we stayed in wonderful accommodations and got to take part in unique experiences like visiting Mr. Vinh's home and the motorbike tour. Even the last-minute diversion to Hoa Lu to avoid the typhoon was a pleasant surprise; having Sights and Soul pay for our massages because rain dampened our plans was an awesome bonus. I really liked Sights and Soul's attention to detail on this particular tour.

We had a marvelous trip to Vietnam and Cambodia with Sights and Soul. It was well organized, the hotels were sensational, we hit the highlights and had additional adventures and experiences ie: cooking class, elephant ride, overnight on a luxury boat in Halong Bay. It was a packed itinerary but well planned to not leave us exhausted. I look forward to traveling with Sights and Soul again and have absolutely no reservations about recommending the services of this exceptional company.
- Mara from Minnesota
The Vietnam tour exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was excellent, well thought out and executed beautifully. Lunch @ the architect’s home was very special, loved the foodie tour in Saigon, and the setting for lunch on the Mekong was beautiful.
- Jane from New York
Every time I see the photos, I get such a rush of wonderful memories. I am again reminded of what a fabulous tour you gave us and what a wonderful time we had. Thank you so much for being who you are and doing what you do. It really was a trip of a lifetime!

With its sublime physical beauty, mysteries of ancient cultures, and enduring traditions, Vietnam provides travelers with a wealth of historical insights and visual memories. From the traditional junks on Ha Long Bay, the exotic basket boats on the South China Sea, and the dragon boats on the Perfume River to Hue's imperial treasures and terraced rice fields tended by graceful women in conical straw hats, Vietnam's tangle of sensory experiences is truly mesmerizing. Meanwhile, Angkor Wat, the "City of Kings", is a mystic and magical place which carries a historical revelation for some, a spiritual significance for others, and is a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience for others. This long-lost city, the capital of a fallen ancient empire, which for centuries existed only as a myth, was rediscovered in 1861 by a French naturalist, Henri Mouhot. Its enormous temples, towering spires, giant carved faces, and ornate bas-reliefs, swallowed by the jungle and then rescued, are an eternal tribute to a lost civilization.
During the Impressions of Vietnam and Angkor Wat tour, we'll set out on an exotic, yet luxurious, journey into the heart of Indochina. We'll explore the world of ancient cultural traditions, and experience some of the most mesmerizing scenery in the world: from French-influenced Hanoi to modern Saigon, which has figured so prominently in recent history, and is now a spirited cosmopolitan city, to imperial Hue, once home to emperors and mandarins and the atmospheric royal village of Hoi An which combines Asian and Portuguese influences. We'll see thousands of limestone islands as we sail on Ha Long Bay in a luxury junk, spend a day floating in the Mekong River Delta, study local cuisine during a private cooking class, enjoy a traditional water puppet show, take a cyclo tour through the French colonial architecture of Hanoi, and a motorcycle foodie tour through the streets of Saigon. Afterwards, we'll continue to Angkor Wat to appreciate the artistry, the magic, and the history etched into its ancient walls.
While in Hanoi, we'll tour the city by cyclo, visiting the Old Quarter, the Ba Dinh Square, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Confucian Temple of Literature, and the Women's Museum. We'll also attend the water puppet theater performance.
We'll enjoy a three-day cruise on a traditional luxury junk sailing in Ha Long Bay and in the Red River Delta.
While staying in the regal city of Hue, we'll spend a full day visiting the Imperial Citadel, the Forbidden Purple City, then crossing the Perfume River on a dragon boat to see the Thien Mu Pagoda and the Royal Tombs. We'll also be able to dine in a private house of a Nguyen dynasty descendant.
While we tour the World Heritage site of Hoi An, we'll attend a private cooking class taught by a celebrated Vietnamese chef, bike to Tra Que village, and take a sunset cruise on the Thu Bon River. Back in town, we'll witness the colorful festival of lights with hundreds of candle-lit lanterns floating down the river.
While in Saigon, we'll tour the city, including the Eiffel-designed Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office, and the Opera House. We'll also tour the city on motorcycles during a gourmet foodie tour, and spend a full day exploring the Mekong Delta.
While in Siem Reap, we'll visit the Prasat Kravan and Ta Prohm Temples, the Royal Enclosure, the Phimeanakas, the Elephant's Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King, the Bayon Temple, and the temples of Banyeay Srei (the city of women). We'll also enjoy an Apsara danceperformance.
We'll visit the floating village of Choueng Kneas, where we'll take a boat ride to experience the way of life of Cambodian people on the great lake of Tonle Sap.
Throughout the tour, we'll enjoyluxury hotels, fine dining, passionate and knowledgeable guides, and exclusive activities which will allow us to experience this remarkable country on a deep and personal level.

What the Media Says About Us
Vietnam: A Women's Only Adventure
An All-Women's Trip To Vietnam: Why This Land Is On So Many People's Bucket Lists
When I speak to experienced travelers who have been to many different parts of the world, often one place pops up as a perennial bucket list destination. For many of the most seasoned travelers, Vietnam remains a place they really want to visit. Is it because so many of us baby boomers grew up with the shadow of the Vietnam war playing on the television? Is it the familarness of names like Saigon, Hanoi or the popularity of Vietnamese food in the US? For whatever reason, if you’re one of the many who consider Vietnam a place you want to see before you die, there couldn’t be a better time to go. And for many travelers, an added bonus is to travel to an exotic place in the company of women. Leaving the husband or signficant other behind sometimes is a great idea.
