One of the area’s most beautiful temples, Ta Prohm has been left relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Its appeal lies in the fact that, unlike the other monuments of Angkor, it was swallowed by the jungle and looks very much the same way most of the monuments of Angkor must have appeared when European explorers first stumbled upon them. Lunch at local restaurant.
In the afternoon, visit the most famous of all the temples on the Angkor plain: Angkor Wat. The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. Angkor Wat’s five towers symbolize Meru’s five peaks, the enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the surrounding moat symbolizes the ocean beyond. Dinner at local restaurant with Apsara Show overnight at hotel in Siem Reap.

Anyone interested in seeing the Mekong delta should consider this option. From the inquiry phase to arrival at our hotel in Phu Quoc, this company did a great job. Their communications were quite efficient. Both pick-up & end point transfers were quite prompt. The crew on board were great. Lee had a lovely sense of humor, making us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped onboard. The cabins were very comfortable. Local cuisine was enjoyable. Dave, who was the other guide, did a phenomenal job explaining numerous details of local life. The only critique I would offer would be to have a driver who could have shared information about the region we journeyed through en route to the boat to a better understanding of the local areas. Overall, this is a wonderful experience as well as a fantastic value!

Bus picked us up at our accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City and drove us to the delta. We were well taken care of from the pick up, to the drop off when a driver met us at Phu Quoc and drove us to our resort. The Mekong delta was beautiful, the boat and the cabins really clean and cozy, and the staff friendly and service minded. We had relaxing two days and enjoyed it very much. The only thing I could wish more for was to spend a little more time at the floating market and buy things there. But everything was well planned and well executed. Strongly recommended!

We (two couples, no children) opted for the 3d/2n cruise. Although the route itself could be covered faster, there was no wish to do that. We have just arrived to Vietnam and a relaxed cruise was a perfect start of the holidays. The cabins are nice, clean, comfortable, and spacious. The air conditioning worked perfectly, including during the night (they keep the generator on, creating some noise, but more importantly enable a good sleep). All the side tours (villages, biking, floating and regular markets) were easy, interesting, and informative. The food was good, but don�t expect the cruise to be a culinary experience. The best part: we learned how to make a very good ban xeo. The best part of all: sitting in the front of the boat at sunrise and watch the peaceful yet busy life on and along the river.

This has to be a must do if you are in Vietnam for a week or more. Our boat was well equiped, the food was lovely and the crew wonderful. We had three days, two nights on board our boat and the whole experience was a real memory. The shore excursions were not too long and well organised.

We stayed two nights on the Dragon Eye, it was a great experience! Very nice staff the one wishes from the eyes. The Mekong Delta is very worth seeing and since one is on a ship one always sees something else !!! The cabins are big and very clean. The food was sensational, it could not be better ... We were lucky that we had the ship for ourselves on the second day !! The excursions were worth ..... Conclusion: it could not be better, thanks for the great experience
