Hotels were all excellent and great amenities such as pools. With the heat in the high 30's it was nice to have a refreshing dip.

Tour guides both in Vietnam and Cambodia were very knowledgeable about their countries, both were friendly, helpful and courteous. Hotels were all excellent and great amenities such as pools. With the heat in the high 30's it was nice to have a refreshing dip. All included insights were fabulous and I manage two of the 5 optional tours which I was very happy with. The transporting between cities was done as a family as there were only 23...a nice group. All in all I would take another Trafalgar tour !Show more
