Our group, two daughters and two moms, enjoyed the private tour for just the four of us. The boat was small and authentic, yet very comfortable. The meals of fresh fruit in the morning on the deck of the boat were wonderful and service throughout the day of coffee, tea and cold cloths was enjoyed. Our guide was so kind and informative, taking us to brick factories, coconut factories, and private homes and churches. He was anxious to give us information about history and culture and environment. Of the three weeks we spent traveling through Vietnam and Cambodia, this was our favorite 4 days.
