Amazing Vietnam & Cambodia

I asked Janet if she would work with me to take elements of the tour her company offered and customize a private tour for my parents.

WOW! What a fantastic experience! A "speed boat" picked us up on the river and took us through the Vietnam and Cambodia borders. We spent a night in Phnom Penh and visited the genocide museum.

JANET coordinated everything for us! We flew into Ho Chi Minh.
The next morning, we were transferred by van to The Dragon Eyes boat (Mekongeyes.com) where we traveled by wooden boat up the Mekong River, spending two nights aboard. It was a very nice experience.
