< Back To Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong

From North to South 2 , NSW, Australia, Nov 2016
We had undertaken a very enjoyable trip down the Mekong a few years ago so when this one came up with Uniworld we thought why not go again? It did not let us down. Two days in Hanoi was the appetizer followed by a flight to Siem Reap where the wonder of Angkor Wat and several other temples was the highlight. This is one place that carries the tag of ...read more a "must see". The trip from Siem Reap to our boat by bus was a very long affair but with the provision of food boxes and a few comfort stops along the way the scenery and commentary provided by our local guide made it enjoyable.

The boat itself was from the Pandaw company on lease to Uniworld. Although this boat did not have all the up to date bits found on more modern vessels it more than made up by the attentive caring nature of the crew where nothing was too big an issue. The food on board was first rate. I understand that for future trips another more modern boat will be leased, hopefully the crew is as good as what we had. The trip down the Mekong was great with daily stops to scramble up the river bank to visit local communities, temples markets ect. The trip concluded with two days in bustling Ho Chi Minh, which is an experience in itself. This was an excellent trip. The only down side was the very high temperatures and humidity which made getting around uncomfortable. It was just after the wet season so it was normal for the locals (good they said!). The upside was that mosquitoes were still a few weeks away. Overall a great trip well worth doing.
Fabulous holiday 1 , VIC, Australia, Jul 2015
We have travelled before on this type of cruise in Europe with another leading company . We had heard that Uniworld was a good company to travel with. We spent 15 days on this tour of Vietnam and Cambodia with not a single stone left unturned to ensure we had a fabulous holiday. From the experienced tour guides to the staff on the boat we had excellent ...read more service. We stayed in top 5 star hotels and our food was nothing less than fit for a king. The River Orchid was a spectacular boat and we could not fault a single thing with the accommodation, tours offered and staff on board. Even our bus drivers we professional and we felt safe travelling with them. Every detail was looked after and the tour went very smoothly. Our experience will certainly encourage us to look at Uniworld for further tour offers in the future.

We would like to add that our whole trip had been booked by Yvonne Brooks who ensured that all our information and travel details were correct and taken care of. Yvonne also took the time to search out great airfare deals. This is the second time we have booked a holiday through Yvonne and we do recommend her to our family and friends. She is a knowledgeable and experienced in her field and we felt confident with all the information and details she gave us.
