Great private tour for 2, total of 19 days from North to South. Hanoi, Halong cruise, Hoi An, Phu Quoc and Saigon. Flawless communication throughout. I arranged some accommodation, they did some, as well as arranging all the transfers, internal flights and tours. Accommodated my request for late starts each day of touring, which was a huge deal for us. Safe, comfortable cars and knowledgeable guides, all of whom spoke excellent English. Vietnam is charming and far exceeded our expectations, in large part because of the terrific tour put together by Hoi An Express. Highly recommended.

S Viet organized an individual tour for my husband and I. It included Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Saigon, The Mekong Delta and Can Tho. At every stage we were picked up from the airport/hotels in air conditioned cars with teriffic guides, we stayed at fabulous hotels, had fascinating/interesting tours and all in all had a fabulous time. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. We will definitely be travelling with them again.

From the Angkor Temples to the Mekong Delta (port-to-port cruise)

We had a great time. Accommodation was very good although our room at the back was a little noisy due to being near the generator and engine room which I would not recommend ( maybe a discounted price should be offered ). Very well organized and excellent tour manager. Always something on the itinerary even whilst the boat was sailing eg cookery demos, serviette folding, fruit carving, talks, films. I think the cruise could be shortened by a couple of days as a lot of the things we saw were very repetitive ,especially the pagodas! We were the only English guests on board which at times was a little difficult but on the plus side we had our own personal English speaking guides (3 in total at different parts of the cruise) which was fantastic. Chan Seng in Cambodia has to have a special mention for his fantastic knowledge and understanding of English.The food both on board and at restaurants on land was excellent my only complaint was that the drinks were not included in the package which for the price we paid I think they should have been, as most cruises do, ( only a soft drink or a beer were included per person per meal). Overall I would recommend this cruise as we had a lovely time.

MEKONG RIVER CRUISES

Worlds Best Cruise Line

Discover the hidden worlds on the Mekong River

If you're travelling to South East Asia and want to immerse yourself in the rich culture, what better way to do so than on a Mekong River cruise.

The Mekong River is the 12th largest in the world, it winds its way from Southwest China through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia before it reaches the vast delta of Vietnam.

With an estimated length of 4,350km, there are many places to visit and embarking on a river cruise with Pandaw allows you to experience these remote towns and villages in a way like no other. From the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, (formerly Siagon) to the sleepier town of Luang Prabang in Laos. From the majestic Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia, to the multi-cultural town of Jinghong in China's Yunnan Province; we can take you there.

Meet local artisans and dancers, learn about the history from the natives themselves, and with Pandaw you can do it in comfort and style. The dining experience allows you to sample the local cuisine and is cooked using ingredients sourced as locally as possible.

Your staterooms are elegant and spacious and come with added extras such as fruit and flowers on arrival, kimonos, slippers and spa-branded amenities to make your stay that little bit more special. Whilst your peace and serenity are of utmost importance to us, when you're not onshore meeting the locals you can enjoy cultural performances, cooking demonstrations or a themed movie night.

Our family including 4 and 8 year old children absolutely loved our journey along the Mekong River. Hong was so helpful and thorough working out our requirements and making sure everything was to our satisfaction. I sent numerous requests and questions, and Hong patiently and efficiently handled them all. The river cruise was wonderful, and exceeded our expectations. We were a little worried about the safety of the 4yo on board the boat, but the staff were fantastic and the other passengers were very kind to both children. I thoroughly recommend this company to ensure a fantastic and memorable Mekong River cruise Valerie Vermaas - Australia

Thank you We have to say the trip exceeded our every expectation and then some thanks to Ms Lacey and Ms Nham. It went off without a hitch. The boat was perfect the staff was outstanding. The arrangements you made from the pickups to the tour guides were fabulous. Particularly Kiki the tour guide on our Saigon tour. He was a delight! I am sure to recommend your services to all of my friends and acquaintances and I am already considering a tour for next year and will certainly be in contact for that trip.
