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.

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.

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!
