Trip highlights

Angkor Wat is a massive temple complex located in Cambodia, Southeast Asia. It is one of the most important and famous archaeological sites in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Angkor Wat is renowned for its stunning architecture, historical significance, and cultural value.

The temple was originally built in the 12th century by the Khmer King Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. Later, it transitioned into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. The name "Angkor Wat" translates to "City Temple" or "Temple City."

Angkor Wat is not just a single temple; it is part of a much larger archaeological site known as the Angkor Archaeological Park, which contains many other temples and historical structures from the Khmer Empire.

Today, Angkor Wat is a significant tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the globe who come to marvel at its breathtaking architecture and immerse themselves in its rich history and culture.

We recently enjoyed a fantastic three-week trip with a family of eleven, expertly organized by Mrs. Van Le. Our journey began with a seven-day tour in Hanoi, followed by six days in central Vietnam, and concluded with the remainder of our time in Saigon. Everything went smoothly thanks to her professionalism, warmth, and kindness. The guides were excellent, and the bus drivers were also commendable. We highly recommend this experience with pleasure. 🙏

We have just returned from an exceptional 10-day, 9-night journey through Northern Vietnam and Cambodia, meticulously arranged by Autour Asia Travel for our group of six. The experience was outstanding in every regard! From the moment we shared our preferences - such as the duration of our trip, budget, accommodation ratings, and desired activities - they took care of every detail with remarkable efficiency. The personalized itinerary they crafted was flawless, reflecting their superb attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our satisfaction. A special mention goes to Van Le (Eliese), whose exceptional service and dedication significantly enhanced our travel experience. Her expertise and responsiveness made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Autour Asia Travel for any travel plans in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Their professionalism and exceptional service truly set them apart.

Our 23-day private tour with AutourAsia was fantastic! It was our third time booking with them, and they once again provided outstanding service. Ms. Van Le, our contact, was incredibly helpful and patient, even as we made several changes to our itinerary. She was available at all times and even assisted with our return flight issues.

We explored Vietnam and Laos extensively, and as picky travelers, we were thoroughly impressed. The company owner greeted us personally, adding a special touch to our trip, and our guides, Mr. Ping and Mr. Sang, were excellent.

If you're considering a trip to Indochina, I highly recommend AutourAsia. Great service and very reasonable prices!

Our recent tour to Vietnam and Cambodia was truly exceptional, featuring a mix of visits to both well-known attractions and hidden gems off the beaten path. The entire experience was made memorable by the warm hospitality, attentiveness, and high quality of services provided throughout our stay.

One highlight of our trip was the cooking class in Hoi An Ecotour, where we had the opportunity to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes like Nem spring rolls and flower salad. The hands-on experience was both fun and educational, and it gave us a deeper appreciation for the local cuisine.

We wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an enriching travel experience. A big thank you to Mr. Duy, Ms. Van Le, and the entire AutourAsia team for their exceptional service and for making our stay so enjoyable.
