Toum Tiou Cruise with Top Mekong Cruises
Aug 2016
In addition, the guides as well as the director were so friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. The capacity of the ship was just ideal to cater the guests’ need in the best way. The food was fabulous. The daily excursions were varied and interesting with different attractions and different experiences. I was very satisfied that most of our excursions, we got away from tourists which made the trip a smooth and original one. We recommend this long tour for those who want to explore the mighty Mekong River. [Less -]

THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE ON THE MEKONG RIVER
July 2016
The excursions throughout the trip were interesting and informative offering authentic insight into different villages of the country. I highly recommended the great views on sun deck and when the ship past through villages and towns at breathtaking sunsets. It was truly delightful. Do not miss the chance to discover the South East Asia on this boutique vessel. [Less -]

AWESOME EXPERIENCE
July 2016
The meals were tasty and suitable for everyone’s tastes. I absolutely recommend the cruise for those who want to get deep into the local culture of both Vietnam and Cambodia. If you just like to take an easy and free cruise, it’s not a right choice. The cruise was excellent and I would take it again as soon as I have chance to do it. [Less -]
