Family Trip in the Mekong River

On board, our guide made sure we were safe and comfortable. She also introduced us to local plants, foods, people, and customs on our visits to various attractions. Not only this, but the border crossing was smoothly negotiated for us too.
The trip went smoothly without a hitch. Highly recommend it!!
