Picked up in a tuck tuck and greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. The tour guide, on board, was knowledgeable, warm and entertaining, giving us a great insight into the different ways of life, along the river. Generous with beer and soft drinks and the fruit platter was a nice touch. Our tour guide even turned into a professional photographer! The sunset, on the Mekong, was absolutely beautiful! Lovely trip.

This cruise was excellent. We were out of the pick up zone and they still accommodated picking us up. The day was overcast, and there wasn’t much of a sunset, but you can’t pick the weather. However, the atmosphere, the tour guide, the people and overall experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend
