Booked a Mekong River cruise…Excellent

Booked a downstream Mekong River cruise from Cambodia to Ho Chi Min. Excellent service from Hang Moon, and the trip on the La Marguerite boat was amazing. Highly recommend.
Just double-check that the itinerary stated is the most current for the ship. Thanks very much.

The 1st time we used an online travel agent, rather than an online booking agent. Ms. Mia from BestPrice Travel helped us book a berth on La Marguerite for an amazing trip from Ho Chi Minh to Siem Reap. She came to meet us at our hotel before departure on the Mekong to be sure all was well and gave us gifts to help on our way.
