Doris planned a 28 day itinerary for our trip to Vietnam & Cambodia. We started in Hanoi & made our way to Mai Chau, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, Can Tho, Siem Reap Cambodia & ended the trip with a relaxing stay at a beautiful quiet resort on Phu Quoc. The vintage motorcycle tour with Ben & his brother was the highlight in Hanoi. So much fun & we really gained insight into the local life & culture. We loved the beauty of Mai Chau & bicycling through the villages & rice fields. Trung took us to some local “home stays” for some meals which we really enjoyed. Ninh Binh was amazing. We really enjoyed the boat ride & karst waterscape and was interesting to see the women using their feet to paddle the boat!
Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise was wonderful!
Hoi An is a must visit. We really enjoyed the charming ancient town although it was very busy!
A highlight in Ho Chi Min City was the XO Saigon by Night Motorcycle Tour!
Our guide Kim toured us through the Mekong Delta where we visited a floating market.
We only had 3 days in Cambodia but visiting the Angkor Wat Temples & Tonle Sap lake & floating village was well worth it. Spending our last week at the Green Bay Resort on Phu Quoc was a perfect way to relax at the end of our trip.
Doris was very detailed in her planning & everything was taken care of for us. All of the guides & drivers were excellent.
We were happy with all of the excursions and hotels used on our trip. We feel we had a fun, interesting and authentic experience in a Vietnam & Cambodia & highly recommend Doris to plan your next adventure!
The people of Vietnam & Cambodia were very friendly & welcoming & we felt very safe during our whole trip to explore around on our own.

Cleanliness & Comfort
Bath soap or salts would be nice. Food quality could be improved. Less oil used in omelet preparation.
Excellent location, beautiful rooms right on the river but loud music from late night bars could make sleep difficult.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very loud music until around 1 am for 2 of our 3 nite stay from bars across the street.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Everything was clean but the soaps used were very strong scented which can be uncomfortable for people with sensitivity to strong scents. Extra pillows would be appreciated.
