The hotels were amazing but the trip was so full on there was no time to appreciate them. Also 18 Wats in 3 days was too much. Tour Guide very knowledgeable and fun. Really enjoyed it all but I think it could have been broken up a bit better, not so many long days and a break from WATs. I would recommend

It was amazing no better way to spend my birthday, everything was good. Saw and did a lot, wouldn’t have minded a bit more free time to let people decide what they wanted to do.
Go deep into these two great countries as you get into riverside vibes, cool waterside bars, as well as taking in jaw-dropping sunrises at the likes of un-missable Angkor Wat. Take part in an alms ceremony in Luang Prabang and hit the streets for a bike tour...each day is different, and downright amazing.
What an adventure through Cambodia and Vietnam. Culturally immersive. Organization-wise, excellent. Had a great time and wish I could do the tour agai. Recommended.

Altogether an excellent trip! Many highlights and rewarding experiences and few difficult parts. Our guides over there were very fine. Rich in local knowledge and exceptional at taking care of us each day in so many little and important ways. A few instances of ‘above and beyond’ when their help was beyond anything required. Culturally/historically an intense and loaded experience. Yet highly valued were opportunities to take a break from the schedule a few times. Air conditioned vehicles were so valued! Odd thing was the lodgings, which were generally excellent, had in common a shortage of fixtures to hang things in the bathrooms. Maybe a cultural thing. Walking on city streets challenging at times and maybe worth particular mention in the trip description/itinerary.
