Discover Vietnam and Cambodia Reviews

Overall, it was very good trip; accommodation and meals were very good. We found the tour to Ha Long Bay too short; would've been nice to stay there for an extra night and then the trip back to Hanoi Airport onto Saigon, made for a very long day, arriving into Saigon and having dinner 9pm. We found the tour to Long Tan out of Saigon a little too far ...read more as the travel to and from was around 3 and half hours each way and by the time we came back to the hotel were exhausted. Canal trip was good local waterways branching from the mighty Mekong river, and the real and raw experience visiting local villages although one of the high-lites was visiting the Orphanage. Both Cambodia and Vietnam tours were excellent with expertise from local guides sharing their world, culture, history and diverse local foods. The only dissapointment was where our journey was cut short from the original program and we believe that it was not the usual standard we expected from APT. The boat was diverted at Phnom Penh to a alternative route up the Mekong River instead of through the lake Tonie Sap and the experiences associated with this section. There was a unforgettable bus trip that was 5 hours through very bumpy, uncomfortable and most complained there were not sufficient rest stops on the journey up to Siem Reap. I would recommend the original programme to my friends.

We had a wonderful time on our trip through Vietnam and Cambodia. Everything was so well organised, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We highly recommend Global Journeys who did a fantastic job, and APT tours, who were first class.
