We have returned from an amazing 2 weeks in beautiful Vietnam. Our tour operator, long Hoang Long, delivered on every detail of the trip - and there were many! HIs responsiveness and attention to detail were incredible. There are so many ; connections / Rendez-vous's / Guides / Car connections, etc. required on a trip like this . Everything worked out perfectly.

Sometimes -- you don't know how good a tour operator is until something goes wrong. The ability to recover quickly and right the ship is the true mark of the quality of the service. When we had minor missed connections on this trip - Long was VERY responsive and navigated the recovery quickly.

We enjoyed the day spent in Hoi An best . Seeing the craft villages by bicycle , attending an unexpected festival, and interacting with all of the very enthusiastic school kids was quite memorable. It was great having English speaking guides who could answer our myriad questions on Vietnamese ; culture, economics, tourism, politics and lifestyles.

Hotel Review
Lynnaya Urban River Resort
Siem Reap

This hotel delivers a great, calming vibe right in the heart of the city. Walking or short tuk tuk to everywhere you might want to go.

OUr guide needed a audio device and the guests headphones to effectively tour this crowded sight. This was not provided. He did not bring any extra insights and expected us to simply read all the panels, etc. No editorial was offered!

The Driver was great. The Guide spoke very good English and was able to answer very specific questions on; Economics and Vietnamese customs. However, he has given the Tunnels tour one too many times and is bored with the experience. Kind of rushed us through with no real conversation or insights.

Island Hoping & Snorkeling  Trip by Speed Boat
Island Hoping & Snorkeling Trip by Speed Boat
Phu Quoc

The snorkeling experience is quite disappointing. In fact -- I would suggest you stop selling this as a snorkelling experience, - there are very few fish to see. Only small fish and some nice coral. I think this area is over fished by the locals. [ See all the fishing boats at night! ] The island is kind of over touristed , - too many tourists, for the size of the beach. Kind of a hectic wave of tourists getting off boats and sharing a very tiny beach.

Quality of Experience
Food
A lot of food , but not well cooked or presented. Restaurant is fairly primitive.

This was my favorite day and activity. Riding bikes got us closer to the people and daily lifestyles. Was great that it was not very crowded with tourists.
