I am very disappointed that flights are not included. As a solo traveler this makes the holiday very expensive. This wasn’t the case with my last two holidays with Pandaw.

We went on the 10-day Pandaw Cruise Laos Mekong, and it was one of the best experiences we've ever experienced. We booked with Hang/Moon (Mrs) of BestPrice Travel in Vietnam. We received fantastic service from her. When I had a query, I never had to wait longer than a few hours for a response by email.… More We went on the 10-day Pandaw Cruise Laos Mekong, and it was one of the best experiences we've ever experienced. We booked with Hang/Moon (Mrs) of BestPrice Travel in Vietnam. We received fantastic service from her. When I had a query, I never had to wait longer than a few hours for a response by email. The cruise was excellent! Our guide, Veing, was exceptional, and the rest of the crew, particularly the purser, Jimmy, went above and above for us. Thank you Pandaw and BestPrice Travel for an excellent holiday. Less
