Wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia Reviews

Accommodation was really great on this trip with Travelmarvel. Tour Director Mr Tu was first class, the tour guides he had were very informative and also caring.

First time traveling with Travelmarvel and would definitely do it again. Guides were excellent as was accommodation, meals and transport. Highlights of the trip for us were Halong Bay and visiting the small villages along the Mekong, where we got to talk to the children learning English at a school. We went in Sept at the end of the wet season and were ...read more very lucky because it only drizzled once through the day during our three weeks. Sunsets and night time storms were spectacular.

We can't speak highly enough of the service and program for our Wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia holiday. I might just add that we nearly had a disaster before we even left due to us miss-reading the departure time and date. The ticket said Saturday 0.35 and for some reason we saw this as being late on the Saturday night not the Friday night. Luckily ...read more we worked this out on Friday afternoon with enough time to get ourselves properly organised. This was no fault of Travel Marvel but perhaps on future occasions you could point out this to Canberra departures as staff at the airport said this wasn't the first time it had happened. I can tell you that as we sat in our seats on the Singapore Airlines flight taking off, we heaved a big sigh of relief. That said, the rest of the trip went smoothly and we had a great time.

I can't give enough praise to our tour guide Han, who was brilliant. He was polite, always had a smile on his face and frequently went out of his way to help fellow travellers who were not as mobile as some of us. His knowledge and advice throughout was faultless. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Much the same can be said of the individual local guides. Their knowledge went a big way to making each trip rewarding and they even showed expertise in taking photographs for individuals. As a photographer myself I also appreciated our guide at Siem Reap pointing out several vantage points, which I might not have seen, to get the best shots.

Our accommodation and travel arrangements throughout were excellent. Our trips on Ha Long Bay and the Mekong were especially exciting and the food and service on both were top class as our scales showed on return to Canberra. Our thanks to you Yvonne at Global Journeys and the rest of the Travel Marvel crew. I can tell you that we will certainly, and have already, recommended your organisation to friends and family and will continue to do so. Thanks again.

Travelmarvel's organisation was excellent and the tour director (Son) did a great job. The cruise in Halong Bay was great and both the ship and crew were very accommodating. We also had an excellent cruise on the Mekong River for 7 days and the crew was very efficient and friendly. The food was great and plentiful. Global Journeys handling of our ...read more booking on behalf of Travelmarvel was done very efficiently and we were very satisfied with the outcome.

From the original inquiry and booking process through to the ticketing the effort from Global Journeys was very professional and always on time. The contact when needed or requested from Hannah was always handled correctly. The trip it self with TravelMarvel was very professional and could only be described as excellent value for money. The Tour Director ...read more that we had for the entire trip was just the best and his tour guides along the way were a credit to themselves and the company. Ha Long Bay is a must to do and the Mekong cruise was a major highlight. We upgraded to a suite on the Mekong cruise and it was worth every cent, just do it ! The entire trip thru Vietnam & Cambodia was on time and operated in a very very professional approach for all concerned. Do this trip and you will see this part of Asia in a relaxed yet well understood manner. We could only recommend the whole process that we have just completed. We are now planning a trip to Myanmar on the Irrawaddy River for our next sojourn as a result of this most enjoyable hassle free experience with both Global Journeys and TravelMarvel.

Some days we were provided with 3 large meals - 4 or 5 courses for lunch and dinner, this was too much food and wastage. Other days we were only provided with one meal. It would be better if we were provided with at least 2 meals every day and if there are 3, they should not all be so large. Particularly given that we were traveling in poor countries ...read more it was very difficult to see food being wasted when we were provided with too much. Otherwise an excellent trip, Chung was very helpful with a wide variety of requests from different travellers.

It was an experience that we all said we were glad to have had. It certainly makes you appreciate our life in Australia. Unfortunately we caught a bug during our cruise and it has taken time to deal with. The organisation of our trip was first class and all the people that attended to our needs were wonderful. The humidity was one thing that we were ...read more not expecting, so many showers were had!! The only thing was travelling very late at night both ways, but I suppose that isn't an option. The quality of accommodation was first class throughout and the buses that were our transport very clean and comfortable. Thank you Georgie for organising this trip.

Travelmarvel were a delight to travel with. Would use them again.
