This was a thoroughly wonderful adventure that exceeded my expectations. We had a lovely group of folks to travel with and a fantastic tour leader.

Halong Bay Trips
Halong Bay, a World Heritage site where giant limestone peaks rise from emerald waters, is perhaps the star attraction in Vietnam. The name means ‘where the dragon descends into the sea’, and legend has is that a dragon came down from the sky, spraying a thousand pearls into the water. From those pearls grew the staggering limestone pinnacles and crags of the bay, creating a natural fortress to protect Vietnam. Many visitors join Halong Bay tours to sail among the islands in Chinese-style junk boats, gliding across the waters under dragon-fin sails and sleeping the night on board. Come sunset, everyone can gather on deck for a sundowner, while morning offers the opportunity for a spot of yoga in a peaceful, magnificent setting.

Anna Lewandowska Vietnam & Cambodia HighlightsA very enjoyable trip highlighting a few places/aspects of each country. If you do not have more time, this is a great intro to both Vietnam and Cambodia. Well organised, varied – in spite of limited time, we felt, we’ve seen a lot. The activity level was low as described, the pace was a bit more than expected, requiring early rises on many occasions, but this enabled us to see as much as possible, which we wanted and appreciated. Accomodation was of a slightly lower standard than expected (by reading travel notes), but overall it was OK. Plus if this is your first time in the country, it is hard to know what the norm is.
Andre Plourde Vietnam & Cambodia Highlights“Highlights” is an apt descriptor. Visited many historically significant sites.
