An amazing, once in a lifetime trip., extremely well planned to include the maximum experience of Cambodia and Vietnam.
However as an 80 year old I found it very tiring, not enough time to relax between trips. Far too much time and emphasis on food. Every evening and lunchtime we were taken by bus to a different venue and a huge meal, including two really second rate Italian restaurants. Apart from that the food was good, just too much, why did we need two huge meals everyday, it would have been more beneficial to have time to relax and eat in our hotel - even unwind around the swimming pool.

Excellent guides in both Cambodia and Vietnam.
Hotels and catering high standard in Cambodia with slightly lesser standard in Vietnam, although fairly satisfactory.
Was expecting to visit a more spectacular cave in Halong Bay, ship cabins were quite crammed , food and service were good.
In general very well organized trip with fairly good transport vehicles and drivers.
As schedule very busy it was quite physically demanding.
Would definitely recommend as gives a good overview of both countries.
A unique unforgettable experience.
Thank you to Wendy Wu and everybody who looked after us during the trip.

Both guides for Cambodia and Vietnam were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The trip was busy, but felt we saw as much as we could in the time.

I had a horrific incident at Angkor which spoilt my whole holiday

An absolutely amazing adventure with a great group of people and an amazing guide in Vietnam - Kim !
This was my first solo holiday and I would not hesitate to go on another Wendy Wu tour but this will take some beating !
We saw Vietnam essentially from top to bottom . From the bustle of Hanoi to the peace of the Panhou retreat just 30km from the Chinese border to the majesty of Halong Bay . Then onto Hoi An and Hue both so different but both equally memorable . Then Saigon - a Vespa tour is an essential for everyone - and the time to reflect on what we saw in the Cu chi tunnels and the war remnants museum . And then onto the Mekong delta for an overnight stop in Ben tre
The walking in Hoang Su Phi was not as challenging as the itinerary might have suggested and I chickened out of the cycling ! The hotels were all well situated and all of a more than acceptable standard - the most important part was the beds as certainly needed good nights sleep to keep up with the adventure .
The group was sad to leave Vietnam and Kim who as I have already said was amazing at looking after us and was full of amazing stories and shared his experiences with us .
However we still had Cambodia to visit and I guess my only criticism of the whole trip was it should have been slightly longer to give us a bit more time in Cambodia . The Angkor Wat complex was amazing as was the visit the following day to the village on stilts . Our guide Chet obviously had a hard act to follow but again he was great !
My highlights - the retreat , walking in the mountains , Halong bay , the bamboo circus in Hoi An and the mad ride on coracle boats , the Vespa tour ,eating and drinking fresh coconut in the Mekong the Angkor complex and the Phare Circus !
A truly amazing adventure

This was a holiday of a life time for me. I researched for holidays in Cambodia for a while and decided to book with Wendy Wu Tours as it incorporated Vietnam too. Both the countries were amazing, their people, cuisine and historical buildings were incredible. The guides for both countries were extremely knowledgeable about current affairs and the history and made the whole travel experience feel seamless. My fellow travellers were also great fun and helped with making the holiday enjoyable. I had such an amazing experience that when I got back to the UK, I booked next years holiday with Wendy Wu.

Superb. Very clear and helpful. Couldn't have been more impressed. Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to go on my trip

Excellent tour to Cambodia and Vietnam although very full on! All the major attractions visited. The cruise to Halong Bay on the Auca2 was amazing although could be a bit longer…one night and it felt like we didn’t get the full 2 days’ cruise! The guides were very knowledgeable and looked after us very well, cannot fault them at all.
Most of the restaurants’ set meals, sharing at times were good except a 2 restaurants where there wasn’t enough of a dish to go round and when this was pointed out we were told it’s to be shared between 4 people and made to feel like we couldn’t count! - the portion allocated was enough for 3 people! Lol!

Handled my enquiry and choices efficiently and quickly. Very pleasant manner and no heavy sell, listened and accommodated my wishes.

Excellent! Service with a smile.
I felt very reassured that Wendy Woo would ensure my booking would go smoothly, and of course it did!

Too much time spent travelling within a 2 week period. 24 hours to get to Cambodia, then nearly the whole day taken up getting to the boat. Another day lost flying to Phu Quoc, same returning 4 days later. Then another 24 hours travelling and hanging around airports. Also, I cannot understand why they would fly us into Siem Reap and not offer a tour of Angkor Wat - even as an optional extension by arriving a couple of days before the main tour starts.
The Mekong Victoria ship is stunning, however, and I would recommend a stay on-board without hesitation.
We were taken to two silk factories and numerous markets. Not enough places of real interest included in the itinerary to justify trailing around in 38°.

We really enjoyed our tour of Cambodia and Vietnam. We saw so much in those two countries and had so many different experiences which made for a very memorable time. Our guides, Arun and John were excellent and wanted us to get as much from our time in their countries as we could. The group size, seventeen, was good. The schedule was very packed though, and personally we would have preferred doing a little less and having a bit more time to ourselves. It was exceptionally hot, 36 C on most of the days, so far too hot for long, full on days. The food was good, but meals were fairly repetitive and we often had similar set menus at lunchtime and in the evening wherever we went. A smaller meal at lunchtime would have been fine. Having big lunches also took up a great deal of time. Having some evening meals in our hotels would have given us more time. So much to think about and so many photos to look at!

Fantastic holiday. Adam was an amazing guide in Cambodia and John Pham was equally amazing in Vietnam.
Would highly recommend this tour.
I really can’t believe how much we have seen in 17 days!
The hotels were all of a high standard with friendly and efficient staff.
The local guides can make it break a holiday and I can’t praise Arum or John enough- both such kind, gentle and informative men.

The guides in both countries did a good job, except a little bit too much information was given, which made it difficult to take it all in.
The hotels were excellent (except Hanoi) with good food and facilities.
The main disappointment (and I think this was the same for quite a few of us), was the food at lunch and dinner. Far too much food served, and most of it very repetitive, bland and really not of very good quality. Having experienced Vietnamese food elsewhere this was quite surprising, with a few exceptions being the 1st night in Saigon, lunch at The Butchers Shop and the food on the Halong Bay boat cruise. In fact on several occasions some of us skipped the organised meals and ate elsewhere.
So, could the guides know of better places to eat, or use the hotels?
After busy,hot days travelling and site seeing, we did not enjoy having to get back on the bus for a long drive to the dinner venue.
