Vietnam & Cambodia Discovery

Friday 28 Nov 2025
Overview Rating:
Our Tour: Good
Was a well thought out tour.
Vietnam program was good with the accommodation in most cases being on par.
Tour guide was excellent.
The only problem was that there were people on the tour that were not up to a level three tour.
The bicycles were very primitive and brakes were faulty.
Cambodia was great with the guide doing a great job at imparting his knowledge about them.

Went with Wendy Wu Tours as we had been with this company before to China. The holiday was simply excellent. Having got back home people say "How was your holiday ?" .... It's difficult to sum it up in one sentence. It was everything I hoped it would be and then some !! The people with us on the tour were great the guides in both Cambodia and Vietnam were superb it's tricky to fault it to be fair. If you want to see Indo China then book up and go to these two countries. If you don't enjoy it then take a long hard look at yourself...

Angkor to the Bay

We have just returned from our Angkor to the Bay tour and we had a great time, it was 'full on' with very little down time, especially at the start of the tour and I wish we had arrived a couple of days before the start so that we could have acclimatised a bit.

We had a great group of people, 18 in total, and we all got on really well which obviously helped to make the holiday.
The organisation was excellent, for example when it came to checking in to the hotels the keys were all ready and waiting for us, and quite often our bags had already been deposited in our room.

The guides were both local and were very knowledgeable, the Cambodian guide could have done well to give us more time to explore on our own at some of the sites but that's being super picky! Also on the Cambodian tour I do think that missing out the Killing Fields was a shame. The visit to the Genocide Museum was hard and I imagine that the Killing Fields would have been an equally difficult experience but it did feel like an omission especially as they were referenced by the guide a number of times.

The internal flights were all efficient as was the transport in general throughout the tour. All the drivers were great.

The Vietnamese guide was lovely and he even added in a couple of things at our request, it was a privilege to be able to see how people live day to day in Vietnam.

We opted to go on the extra tour to the Golden Hand Bridge and we are so pleased that we did. I wasn't expecting it to be in a theme park but that just made the whole thing even more fun. We were there very early so it wasn't too crowded, and we all agreed that we could have stayed at the park for much longer. (NB there is an additional charge for this excursion).

The food was plentiful but almost every meal was a set menu which wasn't ideal. Often there was far too much and there was so much waste - lunch and dinner were generally 4 course set menus. As a vegetarian the menus didn't vary too much: vegetable spring rolls, soup, tofu in some form or other and then a fruit platter. I think at the start of the tour (in Cambodia) we had the pretty much the same thing for lunch and dinner on two or three consecutive days which was a bit disappointing. The restaurants were all very accommodating: we had some people with special dietary requirements (not just vegetarians) and the restaurants all managed to provide the appropriate food There were a couple of days where we had Italian food and on the boat trip there was a buffet which was very welcome. Our guide was concerned that there weren't enough vegetarian options at the buffet and he arranged for additional items to be prepared which was a lovely touch. The food throughout was lovely (with only one exception) but by the end of the holiday we all just wanted to be able to make our own selections!

We did eat out in restaurants most evenings which often meant a very quick turnaround after a full day of sightseeing.

We were lucky with the weather and missed the flooding and the typhoons so were able to visit every destination on the itinerary unlike some other tourists we spoke to.

It's so hard to pick out the highlights because there were so many. I ticked off a bucket list item with the cruise on Halong Bay. The Cu Chi tunnels were fascinating. Hoi An was one of my favourites, just so pretty and Hanoi was brilliant (crossing the road was an experience). Our guide wasn't allowed to take us to Train Street but we found it ourselves and it's another must see.

In Cambodia Angkor Wat was stunning. We were in Phnom Penh during a festival and being out on the streets was a fabulous and unexpected bonus as the coach couldn't get through the traffic to take us to our restaurant so we had to walk.

I am so pleased that we chose to do this tour. It was our first trip with Wendy Wu and we can't fault the organisation. The biggest issue was the food and I suppose having too much rather too little is the better way around!

I would recommend the tour but I do feel that you need to be quite fit in order to ensure you don't miss out on some of the sightseeing. A few members of the group had to opt out of some things either because there were too many steps or because they just needed some time out due to the fast pace and full itinerary.

I have been in a holiday in Cambodia and Vietnam through Wendy Wu at the beginning of Ocyober. It was an amazing holiday and both local guides: Tai in Cambodia and Thiep in Vietnam have been very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything was taken care of, from transport, visiting various places to hotel rooms and meals.

The trip was one in a lifetime as we visited so many places, learnt about the local culture and history. What I liked the most was doing activities with local people and learning about their life. Food was good maybe too much, especially in the evening.
Overall a fabulous trip!

What a fantastic trip. Every day brought new experiences in two fabulous countries. From boat trips in Ha Long bay and the Mekong Delta, cycling around paddy fields, hiking in the mountains and a Vespa ride around Ho Chi Minh City to wandering around Angkor Wat, BRILLIANT. Our guides in both countries were very knowledgeable, kind and helped the whole group in anyway they could.

The tour was arranged really well with excellent hotels and two very good guides, one in Cambodia one in Vietnam, it was pretty intense with a lot of travel, but all the time there were visits to some wonderful places, the veitnam guide in particular giving an insight into the history of the country.

This short cruise (4 days) was part of a 18 day tour of Cambodia and Vietnam. We really enjoyed the cruise. Nice attractive cabin. Excellent varied menu. Good trips visiting some neighbouring islands. Other fun activities like silk painting and cocktail competition snd yoga. Very attentive, polite considerate staff. Nice to be able to relax in pool as well. Very pleasant altogether.

This holiday really lived up to its description in Wendy Wu's brochure. Cambodia was an unknown quantity for us prior to going there and we learned so much about its culture, national treasures and its people in the space of a few days thanks to our more than excellent guide. We particularly enjoyed our visits to Angkor Wat and the floating village at Chong Kneas. Vietnam was exceptionally interesting, with boat trips on the Mekong Delta, the Perfume River and Halong Bay. Visits to Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum and his dwelling places in Hanoi were fascinating as was seeing the French Quarter there. The area round the Citadel at Hue, the Citadel and the Royal Palace and purple City makes Hue a very special place. No trip to Vietnam would be complete without checking out the Cu Chi tunnels. There is not enough space here to describe all the main features of this trip which more than fulfilled our expectations
Travel, hotels, and ticketing arrangements all worked like clockwork and the guides could not have been better.

Laos and Cambodia Unveiled

We were a little apprehensive about all the food being provided. Would it be mostly buffet style? Would it be cold? In fact the food throughout the tour was all freshly-prepared, very flavoursome, plentiful and varied. Wendy Wu had clearly put a lot of thought into the tour. The itinerary worked very well and was at just the right pace for us. We had separate tour guides in Laos and Cambodia and both were excellent. I really liked Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap and most of all the whole Angkor Wat complex. I think Luang Prabang was my wife's favourite place.

The photo below was taken from a boat on the moat to Angkor Thom in Cambodia.

We've come home exhausted from a truly fabulous trip around Cambodia and Vietnam and feel that we've seen pretty much everything these beautiful countries have to offer. The tour guides/managers, Vutha and Hoang, were both fantastic and extremely knowledgeable, all the hotels were excellent and the food all very good, if a bit repetitive and too plentiful at lunchtimes. A very busy full-on tour with very little relaxation time, but everything ran like clockwork and we were never kept waiting long for the coach or food or anything, which allowed us to see so many lovely things in the short time we were there.

Relaxing interlude in our ‘full on’ Cambodia and Vietnam group tour. Was good to have a slightly more laid back few days before and after an otherwise hectic schedule.

Mostly very positive

Thiep, the guide in Vietnam, was excellent.
The guide in Laos was good. The guide in Cambodia was very pleasant but left me behind when I gave way to a large group of children so I visited Angkor Wat, the main reason for my booking the tour, mostly on my own.

A more central location in Luang Prabang would have been appreciated - to be able to relax in the town

The Vietnam airlines booking was a big mix up with the wrong data inserted for one passenger. So early choice of seats was not possible. More info on alternative flights at the booking stage would have been helpful as we would have preferred to arrive in HCM not Hanoi.

We spent 3 nights in Siem Reap we were greeted at the airport by our guided for the next three days and drivers. We had tours around the Ankor Wat.Ban and several others in the area. We went to the Night Circus along with a lovely meal. Our guide and driver were very good. We were then picked up along with approx 12 other guests and taken to board the boat on The Mekong it was a long drive with a lunch stop and toilet breaks on the way.
We were warmly greeted on the boat and had a Cambodia guide with us from collecting at the airport until we arrived in Vietnam where were picked up by another guide.
The service by the staff on the boat was excellent. The food was good. Each day we had tours which were good as we had our guided with us along with transport.
It was my wife's birthday whilst away and the presented a cake and sung to her. The bed was also made up with a birthday wish.
On Arriving at our final port in Vietnam we were transported to Saigon along with our guided on arrival at Saigon we then collected our local guide and driver who arranged all of our included tours. We stayed here in the Central Palace Hotel. Which was the worst Hotel we stayed in. We were on the 11th floor but it was very noisy room due to traffic and the windows not closing properly. We reported this to receipt they were unhelpful. We were also notified when we arrived in our room that the pool was closed as was the bar and would not be available for the whole time we were there. But no real apology from the hotel. I would not recommend this hotel.

Around Cambodia

‘Around Cambodia’ This was an excellent tour giving insight to Cambodia’s past and present. The itinerary was very well organised, involving visits to temples and sites of interest, plus visiting and learning the processes of producing pepper, pottery and rice paper, to name a few. With a sunset cruise, cocktails at sky bars, cycle and tuk tuk rides all organised for us, we were a very fortunate group of tourists.
The hotels were all extremely comfortable with very good facilities and friendly staff. The restaurants for lunches and dinners were very well chosen, I do not think we could have found such wonderful places ourselves.
Our kind and thoughtful guide Vuttha Dam, aka Ta and driver Kea helped to make this a most memorable holiday.
