Vietnam and Cambodia, two jewels of Southeast Asia, offer a mesmerizing blend of ancient temples, bustling cities, and pristine landscapes—from Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay and Hoi An Ancient Town to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace. Traveling both countries on a single trip is seamless, with affordable flights, buses, and shared borders like Moc Bai–Bavet. Whether joining Vietnam Tours or Cambodia Tours, smart budgeting ensures you experience the best of both worlds without overspending.
Legend Travel Group specializes in multi-country journeys, offering Vietnam Travel and Cambodia Travel packages that combine iconic sites, local experiences, and eco-conscious itineraries. With only a 10% deposit required and the balance due 30 days before departure, you travel with peace of mind. This guide breaks down daily costs, visa fees, transport, food, and accommodation to help you plan a memorable, budget-friendly adventure.
No prior visa is needed for many nationalities entering Vietnam (up to 45 days) or Cambodia (visa on arrival $30). Internal flights, buses, and tuk-tuks keep transport affordable.
