    The Guide service was absolutely great, Toan in Saigon was the best, he was just amazing, he was extra special and was very protective of us, which made us feel safe in what he was telling us and what we were doing.

Just outside the city, a reminder of wartime evocates history buffs' passions, that is the Cu Chi Tunnel System.
In the morning, you will take an interesting tour here. Later, we will get a taste of Vietnam's most intriguing and tricky indigenous religions: Cao Daism in the Cao Dai Great Temple, a somewhat eerie rococo extravaganza jamming the conflicting architectural idiosyncrasies of a French church, a Chinese pagoda, Hong Kong's Tiger Palm Garden and Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Regardless of the quizzical jaw-dropping, this place is a good rest spot after a Cu Chi Tunnel System trip. Have lunch in a nearby restaruant.
In the afternoon, we will drive back to Ho Chi Minh City and you will have a great deal of fun while exploring the city at your own pace.
Stay overnight in Ho Chi Minh City.

Get up early, we will break into the morning mist to Angko Wat. Up in one of the pagodas, together your family will embrace a brand new sun rising up, which will stuck in your eternal recollection after this Cambodia holiday.
After simple picinic breakfast, we will start the tour in Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat, literally means City of Temples, was used to hold sacrifices at important ceremonies by king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century. Time lost its track in here and after re-discovery about 150years ago; it has soon become one of the most visited archaeological and artistic sites to all Cambodia tours. Today, under IOT's professional Cambodia tour guide's lead, you will touch every inch and every detail of Angkor Wat. We will finish the tour in Angkor Wat before noon and drive back to Siem Reap downtown for lunch.
After lunch, we will take some free hours in one of Siem Reap's relaxing cafés. When the sky starts to turn orange, IOT's private Cambodia tour guide will take you to Bakheng Hill for a stunningly beautiful sunset over the whole town.
As the sun is slowly and gracefully setting down the horizon, your light-menu dinner will be served by the lakeshore of the Lotus Lake, a perfect place for gourmet after a whole day Cambodia tour, isn't it? Activities including fishing, boating and fish-feeding will be at your choice for some after-dinner fun.
Stay overnight in Siem Reap.

Numerous huge pillars are engraved stories about Cambodia's history and culture, as well as some folktales, which greatly amuses us Cambodia tour makers with its vivid lifelikeness and remarkable perseverance.
In Angkor Thom, we will visit its attached attractions including the grand South Gate, the Bayon Temple, the Phimeanakas, the Royal Enclosure, the Elephant Terrace and the Terrace of Leper King. Angkor Thom will give us a joyful and plentiful morning and we will have lunch in a nearby restaurant.
In the afternoon, we will try to beat the heat under the lush trees in Ta Prohm. Hiding itself deep among the canopying trees, Ta Prohm secretly reveals its majesty for those savvy Cambodia tour makers. Ta Prohm, in fact is a brilliant complex of Angkorian architecture and sculpture, including: Neak Pean, a fountain built in the middle of a pool; Ta Som, built in late 12th century C.E. the most distant temple on the grand circuit, small but classic. Preah Khan Temple, built by the King Jayavarman VII. We will also visit the unique interior brick sculptures of Prasat Kravan, Srah Srang, Banteay Kdei (surrounded by 4 concentric walls) and Ta Keo, constructed in late 10th early 11th century.
