excellent organisation
Very well done

If you have done tours before this one is slightly different as Cambodia is a small county, with 2 weeks to explore it, this tour is more laidback than most. Febuary was hot 34c (we had no rain) and the tour guide made pervision for this. The excursions started around 08.00-08.30 and we were back at the hotel by 14.30 giving everyone time to chill and relax by the pool before going out for dinner at 18.00h. If you have never been to this part of the world it is busy and interesting, there is lots to see, do and photograph.

This tour exceeded our high expectations in every way. The itinerary was full of interesting places and experiences. The three local guides Laki, Wang and Bunnak were all outstanding. Our group made great company

Cambodia leg very interesting, hotels and food good considering it is a poor country. Guide was excellent and shared personal experiences. Victoria Mekong Cruise was good, cabin was fine food was excellent, other than the bbq which was not as good as everything else. Trips off ship to rural communities was enlightening and timed well. Vietnam was good overall again hotels and restaurants good. Good choice of places to visit.

Cabin, food and entertainment were very good. Everywhere was kept clean and tidy. The staff could not do enough for you. Definitely recommend.

Knowledgeable staff, very pleasant to deal with and provided good advice.

In the past we did a Wendy Wu tour in China and found the whole experience wonderful now we have booked a tour for Vietnam and Cambodia for next year and so far the customer service has been fantastic.

Well looked after by the crew, modern and up to date boat, food of a high quality , with plenty of choice

Where do you start with a review of a 21 day holiday? Overall, it was good, but there are things to be aware of when booking.
Wendy Wu is positioned as at the higher end of group tours in Asia but some of the hotels were below the standard I would have expected. For instance, the Lotus Blanc rooms in Siem Reap were damp, mosquito infested and the aircon control unit didn't work. In addition, room service although offered, was non existent. Other hotels were ok, but not really of a high standard.
Food was included for all meals but the timings were sometimes odd. For example, in Haling bay, we had breakfast at 7, went on a quick excursion and then had a full brunch offered at 9.30 - just so that we could get to an airport transfer. It would have been better to have been given a voucher for food and drink at the airport. Another example was the house vitit in Hue with a "snack" that turned out to be a fantastic meal, only to be immediately followed by lunch. Often, late lunches were followed by early dinners which seemed a little unreasonable. Also in regard to food, the constant set menus got so samey and boring, we opted to miss a few. A little creativity around the set menus would have made the food a much more interesting part of the tour. I have a lot more to say but have limited space :-(

Steve was Very Helpful and was able to help us make our decision.

This was a well paced excellent holiday. Hoi An could have done with another day for a bit more of a look around. Didn't get to see much of Ho-Chi Minh either. The visit to Chu-chi tunnels was good but because of traffic it takes up the entire day. The time on Hai-Long and the Mekong river cruise were both amazing and amount of time spot on (although finishing the cruise was a bit hard as it was so good). For me the highlight was Ankhor-Watt, again this could have had another day, primarily due to the weather as it is very hot after noon, so visiting the sights on a couple of mornings with other functions (or free time) would be good. Having said all of the above, it really is only feedback as this was a brilliant holiday. The guides particularly Tuan in Vietnam and Peaches in Cambodia were excellent. This is the third tour we have booked with Wendy Wu and there will likely be more. Thank you

Excellent service and very friendly staff went and checked everything

Went to Cambodia and Vietnam with Wendy Wu Tours - our guide in Cambodia - Vutha Dam was so attentive and helpful - he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience .

This tour was a wonderful adventure through Cambodia and Vietnam. So many new experiences very different to what we are accustomed to. The hotels and food were generally very good and our tour guides were very friendly and informative with everything running like clockwork. The 'historic' visits covering the Cambodian Killing Fields and the Vietnam War were covered in an informative and sensitive manner. The 'cultural' visits included an overnight stay on the amazing Halong Bay and a visit to the enchanting and relaxing Hoi An. We were impressed with Phnom Penh, more so than Saigon, although a highlight of the latter was dinner in the dark at the Noir Restaurant. And we didn't want the tuk-tuk and cyclo rides to end. The four day cruise down the Mekong was relaxing and included some interesting visits to observe life along the river. The boat itself was very nice.

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our third Wendy Wu Tour (after China and Egypt) and would highly recommend.

Excellent. Informative and answered all the questions I had.
