Middle East Cruise Trips

It was a fabulous group of people. The leader of the group was amazing. Unfortunately, we had to leave the trip early because my mother passed away while we were in India. I hope to finish the trip someday.

We had a wonderful tour leader caller Yasser who had an excellent knowledge of egyptology. We learned so much and had an enjoyable, intetesting and varied holiday. There was a good balance between scheduled activities/visits and optional ones.

I'm not sure why we didn't visit Mamallapuram enroute to Pondicherry in the morning of the first day of group travel. We could then have spent two nights in Pondicherry giving us more time to explore the city. The last two nights could have been spent in Chennai making the journey to the airport easier tham from Mamallapuram. Overall though the trip was excellently lead by our guide Shree. The itinery was generally very good. The hotel in Mamallapuram was disappointing. The hotel in Chennai though was excellent. Overall a very good trip.

Great sight seeing tour of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap- all the mainsights ticked off including lots of temples. What made the tour for us was our guide Tra who's lived experience, of himself and his family, through the Pol Pot regime and beyond and his willingness to share these experiences with the group really bought it to life and helped us appreciate not only the horrendous history and suffering of Cambodia but how far it has come since independence. Likewise Tra's knowledge of Cambodia's complex religious beliefs and influences was so informative and interesting Due to current conflict with Thailand we couldn't visit Battenbam but we always felt completely safe and I would urge people not to be put off by the conflict.

This was such an enjoyable trip with great variety. We were transported in comfort in our roomy coach. Our tour leader Sree was outstandingly helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The warmth, colour and sounds of India were made accessible on this extremely satisfying trip - and we saw a leopard!

Our tour leader Hung was great at ensuring everyone was engaged with our itinerary and activities that were planned including additional activities he had arranged. There was a change to the expected itinerary and we did not stay in ha long bay but in ka ba island, the resort at ka ba has been so polite by recent developments and I we could have to preferred an overnight st as y on a boat to prior to o the cruise in la han bay, that being said la han bay was quieter and beautiful. The stay in the Mekong Delta was beyond words and probably made the trip for me overall. The only other minor criticism of the tour was that we did not spend enough time at the war remnants museum but we were able to return to the museum on the final day in our own time to see the rest of the exhibits. Overall an amazing experience and one I will cherish, thank you Hung for all of your hard work.
