Brilliant Best Price Travel and trip on the RV Mekong Princess Cruise

We had an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience and would strongly suggest the RV Mekong Princess if you are considering traveling the Mekong. The boat, the crew, the meals on board, and the cultural trips were all excellent. We are experienced travelers and cannot recommend this vacation strongly enough. Janet Tran from Best Price Travel was fantastic to do business with, confirming all of the arrangements, and her communication was superb. I would strongly recommend them as a booking agent.

It was really great

Everything was first-class. The ship, the route, the weather, the personnel, and the people—everyone got along great. I've been on numerous cruises previously, but this one will stand out.

Great experience, 10/10

Anna at BestPrice Travel was really helpful and speedy in scheduling my river vacation on the Mekong Princess. It was an absolutely fantastic trip at an incredible value, and Anna was kind, polite, and incredibly attentive. She answered all of my inquiries quickly. She also arranged for me to stay in hotels that were both comfortable and conveniently located: within walking distance of fantastic restaurants and markets, as well as in the heart of highly fascinating cities! I would strongly suggest her! This has been one of my favorite travel experiences, both working with Anna and throughout the trip.

Cruising down the Mekong was a very pleasant and soothing experience

I spent eight days and seven nights doing the Mekong Princess Four. The room on the river cruise was lovely; it had a good-sized bathroom with teak finishes, however it lacked a closet. One of the tour's highlights was the amazing meals. The guide was very nice and funny. Another highlight of the trip was cruising along the Mekong and sipping happy hour drinks while watching the sunset.
The excursions off the boat were relaxed and enjoyable, with local hikes, a visit to the floating market, and a few off-the-beaten-path stops. The cross-border excursion to Phnom Penh was equally hassle-free; we had to stop in Vietnam and then in Cambodia to receive the visa, and the guide who accompanied us accepted our passports and visa fees and handled everything for us without issue.
Thank you to Mia Nguyen from bestpricetravel.com for her assistance with all of the challenges and worries.
