We had a wonderful time walking around the French and old quarters with August. She taught us a lot about the culture and history of the city and the people of Vietnam. She is vary articulate and speaks English very well. One of the best guides we've spent time with throughout our journey.

For this reason the number of boats on the market fluctuates depending on harvesting seasons and market demand. Furthermore, modern wholesale markets are becoming more popular in Vietnam. This can result in decreasing numbers of boats being present on the markets.

I had a great trip to from Hanoi to Nihn Binh with Dung! He was very nice and we had great conversations together! We sailed down a river on a small boat to see the beautiful landscapes that surrounded me. I have never seen anything like this before! Dung was very nice and was sure to get the best pictures of me. We also climbed 500 stone steps to visit Mua Cave! The view from the top was breathtaking! Even though there were many steps, it was worth the views. I had an amazing trip and would book with Asianway Travel again. Stella, the travel consultant, helped me plan every aspect of my 10 day trip. You are the best! Thank you for an amazing adventure!

We spent 13 days in Southeast Asia with our adult daughter, which included a wonderful cruise on the Mekong Navigator. The ship was fantastic. It’s design in French Colonial and was impeccable. We had a Vista Suite, which was one of the simpler suites, but still better than premium suites on other ships. A key to this ship is it was all inclusive and they meant it. Unlike other “all inclusive” travel we’ve had before, all the meals, plus local beer and quality wine, were all included as were all the excursions. While on board we found out that this was the first sailing under Lotus. Though the ship has always been owned by Lotus, it had been contracted by Uniworld, but now sails as a Lotus Cruise ship. I’m not sure how the staff could have been better than the crew we had. Our wait staff were All pleasant. All attentive. We celebrated my wife’s birthday on board. That morning I asked our cruise director if we could get something special. That evening there was a gourmet chocolate, made from scratch by the kitchen staff. It didn’t just look good; it was a delightful cake. In our cabin, the room was always taken care of, beer and soft drinks always in the fridge, and you only asked once for something and the rest of the trip it was there…extra towels, blanket, and a choice of four different kinds of pillow. We had people on board from the USA, Australia, Germany, Italy, South Korea and India. Ages from 23-75. Do we recommend the Lotus Cruses and the Mekong Navigator…absolutely!

Got picked up by taxi at hotel and taken to dock. Boarded a speed boat, only three of us on trip, the boat could have seated about 8. Set off at speed, no really at SPEED! Leaving HCMC at speed is great (not a fan!). About 1.5 hours later, having eaten breakfast on the go (fresh fruit and pastries) we docked. Here we were introduced to Ding and Dong (actually Dinh, but that ruins the joke!) our guides and our bikes. Bikes were good quality and had handlebar storage for phone and water. Bike ride was leisurely and on quiet roads/tracks, stopped at rubber plantation and rice paper factory. Guide was very knowledgeable. The stop for fresh fruit was very welcome and very delicious. Tour of the tunnels wasn't actually the highlight of the trip, but again, the guide was very knowledgeable. Lunch was lovely, even for a vegetarian in a beef restaurant. The minibus back to HCMC was very comfortable. Overall a fabulous day out. Thank you.
