United StatesWe had such a great time on our cruise on the Mekong. Ms. Janet always responded to me quickly when I had questions.
The cruise was so fun. My kids loved it. Chuc was especially attentive to my younger kids and made things for them and joked with them.
Lots of help with transfers and lots of information about getting Cambodian visas. Everything was so easy!
Mr. Fürst
GermanyIt looks good; however, there was no program on board at night.
What worked well was the shuttle. Since we traveled alone, it was virtually a private transfer. On the first day, we were alone on the boat, and on the second day, only two other guests came. That also surprised us very much.
Thank you for your great support all the time!

United KingdomJust been to the snake rice vine place. Really enjoying it, and Chook is great.
Hi Mia, yes, we both tried the wine. Never again. Having a great time.
Mr. Schuhmacher
GermanyHi Anna, sorry for the late response. Being on the Mekong was great, indeed! Price performance was not so OK. The boat is very old and will be replaced next year. (Rooms are very small, you cannot even unpack a suitcase, it’s dripping from the ceiling, etc.) It would have been sufficient to stay there one night, because the main attraction to see the floating market was very disappointing. We arrived there when the market was nearly closed. The fellow travel guides (we had two, one for each day) only talked to one during the excursions. The two did not agree on the advance, so what was said was partly repeated.
Mr.Alex Hobbs
AustraliaThe boat is very comfortable and relaxing.
Yes, we are enjoying it. The food is excellent.
The floating markets in Can Tho were underwhelming; I had read they are what they used to be, so that's no reflection on the tour.
