Asked on March 5th, 2025I am travelling with a female friend so we need separate sleeping rooms (single rooms). Can you provide a quote which covers both of us.
- VietLong TravelOperator•Written March 2025
if you want 2 single rooms instead of a double or twin, then you will pay the surcharge of 309USD per person x 2 single rooms = 618USD

Asked on November 20th, 2024I want to book this tour for my aunt and I. I tried to book the tour but I got a message that my aunt does not fall within the 70 or under parameters. My aunt was born in 1953 so she is now 71. She is very fit and healthy - she is more mobile and healthier than most 60 year olds. I need to know if I can book this tour with her.
- VietLong TravelOperator•Written November 2024
I've updated the Suitable Age to 80. This tour is designed to be easy-going and relaxing, so there shouldn't be any difficulties for you or your aunt. Please try booking the tour again, and don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter any issues.

Asked on September 23rd, 2024What month is better for cruising February or March in terms of weather and mosquitoes?
- VietLong TravelOperator•Written September 2024
For a river cruise from Chiang Mai to Laos, both February and March are excellent months, but they have some differences in terms of weather and mosquito presence: February is part of the dry season, with cooler temperatures, especially in the evenings and mornings. Daytime temperatures are pleasant, making it a comfortable time for cruising. Mosquito activity is generally lower in February due to the cooler and drier conditions. March is still in the dry season, but temperatures start to rise as it transitions to the hotter months. Days can be warmer, though evenings remain pleasant. Mosquito activity can increase slightly compared to February as temperatures warm up, but it's still relatively manageable with basic precautions like repellent. Recommendation: Both are good. If you need to make a decision, I think February is generally the better choice if you prefer cooler weather and want to minimize the presence of mosquitoes.
