Itinerary
Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City
Arrive at any time, and choose to kick back at the hostel, or head out to explore the city before meeting up with fellow Roamies in the evening. Hungry? Let's head out on a street food walk sampling the best of local dishes and delicacies Ho Chi Minh City has to offer. Delish!
Day 2: Ho Chi Minh City/Châu Đốc
Ready to hit the road? Catch your private ride to Chau Doc in the famed Mekong delta then let's go full on local! Jump on the back of a motorbike and explore. Zoom up to the mysterious Hang Pagoda on the slopes of the mountain and mix with the many pilgrims who visit here. It's time to get zen–inhale the ever-burning incense, observe the rituals and dissolve into the background of chanting and temple bells. After, ride up to Sam Mountain and gaze in awe at the stunning views of the sunset over the surrounding delta. No need to pinch yourself, you really are here!
Day 3: Châu Đốc/Kampot
Up late with your mates? Shake it off as today it's on! Hop in for a sunrise boat trip and watch the river come alive. Next, stop at a small village and fish farm before your visit to Chau Doc Market where you will see vendors selling all manner of wares, food, and drinks–feel free to grab a tea or hot noodles! Tired? No worries you can catch a nap on the drive to the Cambodian border before heading to the fishing village of Kep. Follow in the footsteps of the legendary Anthony Bourdain and explore the famous seafood market. Your CEO will pick the best crabs pulled directly from the sea and you'll dine on pepper crab on the spot. It doesn't get any more real than this. Ready for some down time? Us too–let's head to the hostel in Kampot and kick back for a bevvie (or three.) Cheers!
Day 4: Kampot
Freedom! Today is all yours to explore the sleepy town of Kampot. Looking to chill? That's easy–wander along the river and jump in for a swim, take a yoga class or hang at the hostel with your new-found friends. Want a bit more activity? No problem, your CEO has lots to suggest. Spice things up with a visit to a pepper farm, explore the countryside on a tuk tuk tour or sit back with a beverage on a sunset river cruise. Just don't forget to catch up on your posts–EVERYONE is waiting to see what you do next. Enjoy!
Day 5: Kampot/Koh Rong
Ready for adventure? Head out to Monivong Bokor NP, a wild area known for its palace ruins overtaken by nature and spotted with stunning works of graffiti. Your CEO will lead you around this bizarre contrast of lush jungle and ruins, and jaw dropping coastal views. Now, are you ready for the beach? Of course you are! Travel to Serendipity pier and catch a ferry to the remote island of Koh Rong. Drop your bags at the hostel and head directly to the beach. Searching for paradise? Guess what, you're already there.
Day 6: Koh Rong
Trust us, Koh Rong Island is one of those places you'll talk about for years; the island boasts pristine white sandy beaches, warm crystal-clear ocean waters, a hot tropical climate, and is off the beaten track. No need to pinch yourself, yes–you really are here. This is the island of your dreams and you'll have the entire day to enjoy it. Dive into the calm waters of the Gulf of Thailand, then stretch out and catch same rays. Feel free to chill in a hammock under a palm with a cold drink. No matter what angle you snap your pic, it's absolute perfection. You totally deserve this!
Day 7: Koh Rong/Phnom Penh
Jump back on the ferry to the mainland and swing by a few small villages that make up the Chambok community. We'll set you up with a local guide to get an insider's peak at daily life in these rural villages. Feeling hungry and creative? The local women will get you sorted with a delicious Khmer lunch and then teach you how to make traditional necklaces and bracelets–perfect souvenirs to bring home for your friends. Ready for the big city again? Excellent, as your last stop is Phnom Penh with fantastic nightlife to dive right into. Are you ready to party? Dumb question.
Day 8: Phnom Penh
Say goodbye to your Roamies and depart at any time, or keep the adventure going by heading north to Siem Reap and the iconic temples of Angkor Wat on the next leg of this epic adventure.

The tour exceeded all expectations, it was great to see interesting places off the beaten track, nice group and not too many people. Kulipuy was our main guide who was absolutely fantastic, she knew everything, was incredibly thoughtful (little gestures to celebrate peoples birthdays for example) and super helpful for ideas on our free days. We liked the aspect of the local guides too, in order to get to know each area in more detail.

The tour was well priced. Our CEO was excellent. The group size was bigger than expected and other participants were often not cooperative with the tour.

Tong, our CEO, was an incredible tour guide, he was invaluable when navigating boarder crossings and shared with us incredible stories of each country - past, present and future.

Leonardo G., - Traveled, January 2024
it's a very simple answer. Our CEO Tong was just outstanding. The trip in itself was fantastic and gave you a real experience of the country. However Tong just blew us out of the water with his knowledge, service, kindness and 24/7 availability. We didn't realise a tour guide could make the trip but he did. His stories, information and experiences brought each destination to life and I would book again just to have him walk us through one more time.
