The crossing is authentic. Suggestion 1: The boat should be renovated. Suggestion 2: Regarding the organization, everything went well. We will have to ensure good communication with the client (who, when, what). We gladly recommend your company.

It was an interesting trip to learn about life on the Mekong River, but only the first day - the second day was just about moving from place to place and a rather lengthy and boring day.

the hotel was 600 m from the pick-up point which could not be done. Average service like in Saigon
