Dear Huong Bui, 

The trip was fantastic, the crew on the boat was great in particular our guide.
Thanks for everything and we will not miss the oppotunity to contact you if we plan to travel in one of those countries you mentionned.
Best,

Hi Huong Bui,

Sorry it took a while, but here is our feedback:
 
Asia King were recommended to me and my girlfriend from someone who had travelled with them to Vietnam last year.
 
Bui was excellent in helping us to plan our trip, providing recommendations and generally making the planning process as stress free as possible. Bui’s local knowledge of Vietnam really made a difference here. We booked a 14 day tour of Vietnam, starting in Hanoi and working our way down to Ho Chi Minh City and then finishing with a few days on the beach in Phu Quoc Island.
 
Once the itinerary was finalised, Bui also kept in touch with us regularly in the time leading up to our trip; answering any questions we had and informing us of any changes to the flight times etc.
 
From the moment we arrived in Vietnam, everything was seamless. The pre-booked tour guides and drivers were waiting to pick us up at each airport to take us to our hotel. The tour guides all spoke excellent English and were very knowledgeable about both the city we were in and the Country. Although all of the tour guides were great, we would like to say a special thank you to Mr Tu who’s knowledge of the Hue area was exquisite!
 
The cars were all comfortable clean and relatively new. The drivers themselves were very safe drivers.
 
I don’t think Bui and Asia King couldn’t have done any more to make our trip more enjoyable. If you’re thinking of going to Vietnam then I have no hesitation in recommending Asia King to create your perfect break!
 
Kind regards,

Dear Huong,

Thank you for your assistance. It was generally very good trip for us and both cruises did very well. The crew was friendly, the trip pilots were helpful, so there is not much to complain about. The food was great on both ships too.
 
I have 2 remarks only, so maybe things can be improved to offer even better experience.

1. Kayaks which we’ve been using on Ha Long Bay were in very poor condition. Cracked in many spots, unstable and uncomfortable, without any backrest support. It partly took the fun of the whole idea of kayaking in Ha Long. It was painful for my back and difficult to handle. These kayaks should be replaced with new ones a.s.a.p.

1. We were very excited to see the Cai Rang floating market in Can Tho. We’ve seen many movies about how colorful and vital it is with all the crowd, goods on boats etc. I also heard that it is necessary to be there very early. Our tour pilot told us though that we do not need to hurry, that we can have breakfast at 8 and the go to the market at about 9 AM. I have no reason to not believe to my guide as I ma not from Mekong Delta, so we did as he told us. Then when we went to the Cai Rang, there was almost nothing going on there anymore. The place looked like it was already afterhours. No small boats with fruits and vegetables, few people, sleepy place. This was a big disappointment for us as we wanted to see the life of Cai Rang very much. We have seen almost nothing there. Our guide told us that it always looks like this, but i don’t think so. I’ve seen many videos from that place and it can be very different. I guess that if we went there at 6 or 7 AM, then the things would have been very different. We had no problem to wake up early, but we listened to the recommendation of our tour pilot. Now we are disappointed with this one.

 
Apart of above 2 things the trip was very good. Thank you for your full assistance and we will surely let you know if we will need any further help from your side. I wish you many successes at work.
 
Pozdrawiam / Best regards

Good morning Huong.

Overall the trip on the Mekong Dawn was very good.

Our guide Samphors Dy was absolutely fantastic and went out of his way to make everything work smoothly.

The meals were delicious and all the staff were friendly.

The excursions were very informative and allowed us to see some quite remote sights that showed us how the people lived, worked and celebrated their religious beliefs.

The 3 hr fast boat trip across the lake was a great experience as well and connecting vehicle was fine also.

More guests on the boat apart from us would have been more fun.

Some printed information about Cambodia and the Mekong Dawn and maps on the boat would be good. Also some souvenirs of the boat to buy would be nice such as coasters, cups or fridge magnets.

Thank you for your help .

Regards

Dear Huong

Thank you, we enjoyed our trip to Laos and Thailand.  I would like to see more of Laos in the future.

As you know we did not have any tour guide from Asia King; so I cannot say anything about it.

The hotel in Luang Prabang (My Dream) was very nice. Beautiful garden, good restaurant, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. It is a bit outside Luang Prabang, but they offer several complimentary shuttles per day.

Stefan thought that the classic room was a bit expensive for Asian standards; I thought it was ok.

We were picked up from the ship manager well in time. The ship is beautiful and well maintained; our superior cabins were large and very nice with a balcony on the back of the ship. The only issue on board (and we told “Lernidee” about it) is that nearly all chairs (on our balcony, in the lounge, even the deck chairs who do not have a proper support for the head) are extremely uncomfortable and a real issue for people with back problems. Should be different on a ship which invites to relax! 

Otherwise good and friendly service on board, an excellent cook, a very knowledgeable cruise director / tour guide and a wonderful landscape all along the way. There were not so many excursions as on our previous trip from Ho-Chi-Minh to Angkor Wat, which was good; there was time to relax and to enjoy the landscape while travelling on the Mekong. In addition we had several lectures on board concerning Laos history and culture as well as a film.

The Legend Chiang Rai: good location, a fantastic garden and a nice room. The hotel was rather empty (end of the rainy season?) and the atmosphere in the restaurant was sleepy (as the service) and not so very nice. Food was good, but nothing special. All in totally overpriced.

Altogether I enjoyed the time in Laos very much (Stefan, you want to add something?).

Dear Phuong, 

We finished our trip yesterday afternoon with Ow and Wen (I am unsure of the spelling). Both Mark and I thoroughly enjoyed it and we really want to pass on to you and them how professional and interesting and kind and thoughtful they were to us throughout the entire trip. We will recommend your company and would not hesitate to do it again. I hope we were not too much trouble for them. Thank you for negotiating with us throughout this trip. I hope this level of professionalism is maintained with all your other guides and drivers. There is no way we would have enjoyed any other methods of transportation. 
Keep up the great work. 
All the best. 
Kind Regards

• The guides were really friendly and helpful; just the first guide’s English was not that good, so he struggled explaining us some things
• The hotel were really nice and comfortable; just the one hotel with the construction side in front of it was a real disappointment (if I remember correctly we already told our guide and he also informed you)
• The activities were really enjoyable and not stressing at all; just it could have been a bit more action
