Food quality:
The food was excellent – truly 1A. Everything was fresh, delicious, and very well prepared.
Tour guide’s attitude:
The guide was very attentive and did a really great job overall. Everything was well explained and organized.
Our journey on Dragon Eyes from Saigon through Cai Be, Can Tho, Chau Doc to Phnom Penh was truly memorable.
The activities felt authentic and peaceful, the scenery along the Mekong was beautiful, and the crew took great care of us. Simple, intimate, and perfect for experiencing life along the river at a relaxed pace.
Our group was me, my 83 & 84-year-old parents, and my 72-year-old friend.
Janet arranged everything for us, SHE WAS AMAZING!
Everything was handled so smoothly!
THIS WAS A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE, THANKS TO JANET'S HARD WORK AND WILLINGNESS TO ACCOMMODATE OUR REQUESTS AND NEEDS.
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.
