We used this boat trip as a way to travel from Saigon to Phnom Penh while seeing the Mekong. This turned out to be a great choice. It was enjoyable on so many levels. We had the boat to ourselves with fantastic service during the trip. A slow boat up the Mekong is a fantastic way to see life as it happens while you can relax on the top deck or under cover. Additionally we had a great guide who took us on trips to the floating market, a walk around a village and then a local market with no other tourists in sight for the last two. Good quality food and high quality accommodation on board to finish it off. An adventure and good way to transition between the 2 countries. Would thoroughly recommend it.

However I missed out on going to Cambodia because I did not get an itinerary & I thought I was getting back to Ho Chi Ming from Cambodia this was not made clear to me. So the tour guide brought me back to Ho Chi Ming and I missed not going to Cambodia, which was very disappointing
