Fabulous Mekong River Cruise
Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong
Tracey and Martin, NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We recently returned from the Emerald Mekong River Cruise through Vietnam and Cambodia. This was our first Emerald Cruise and will not be our last, it exceeded all expectations, the staff, sightseeing and boat were sensational. Our booking through Global Journeys with Hannah as out consultant was very simple and the trip went without any issues. Would read more highly recommend Emerald Cruises and Global Journeys.
Vietnam & Cambodia
A Mekong Experience
Jennelle and Andrew, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
Just returned from an amazing experience with Wendy Wu booked through Global Journeys. The experiences exceeded our expectations. The guides took great care of everyone and were wonderful at meeting everyone's personal needs. We had a 95 year old who had planned the trip with his wife, who sadly passed away a few months prior. A beautiful bunch of read more travellers that looked after him throughout. There were many highlights but the most important reflection of the journey was the diversity of experiences and the support of the local communities especially in Cambodia. It is a tour that is more than about visiting historical sites and temples. The communities we visited expressed their gratitude for Wendy Wu and the impact that the support of these agents is having in their community. We were welcomed into peoples homes where they so willingly shared their skills and daily life with us. So many welcoming smiles from people that have so little.

Another great trip where GJ's organisation took a lot of the complexity and hassle out of things. The local guides were truly awesome, and the Mekong Serenity is lovely.

Great trip through Vietnam and Cambodia
Wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia
Phil and Linda, WA, Australia, Oct 2025
Our first time adventure to Vietnam and Cambodia and our first time travelling with Travelmarvel. Was very impressed with Travelmarvel. Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip. Our TD, Mr Thoi, was brilliant. Very professional, nothing was too much trouble for him and always a simile on his face. The local guides were also good. Extremely knowledgeable read more and great sense's of humor. The accommodation throughout the tour was excellent. Pity we did not have a bit more time to enjoy the facilities at some of the hotel / resorts. The dining was excellent, particularly on the Mekong River cruise. Would have no issue to recommend travelling with Travelmarvel through Vietnam and Cambodia. Finally, again, great service from Tracey at GJ. Look forward to booking our next adventure with GJ.
Along the Mekong- Cambodia to Vietnam
Essential Vietnam and Cambodia
Mandy and Peter, NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent rip along the Mekong. There were lots of opportunities to sitesee on set tours or to do what one wished. We love that flexibility, as after all it’s our trip to enjoy! The staff from TravelMarvel and onboard the boat were amazing to deal with, with nothing ever being a problem. And I won’t even talk about the food as read more there was so much choice of excellent quality and quantity. A wonderful trip for an older couple.
