"We had an awesome time the crew were fantastic, the food exceptional, the shore excursions diverse and interesting. the cabin was small with twin beds but comfortable didn't need to be any bigger. we had an English speaking guide that went on the shore excursions with us which was very helpful. The ship was a good size not to big which made it quite intimate and suited us perfectly with lots of areas to sit and relax outside. the meals were 3 course and very diverse with something for everyone's tastes. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone that likes to take in the local culture, if your the kind of traveler who likes to sit in air-conditioned comfort and be waited on then this is probably not the right cruise for you, but on the other hand if you want to experience the Vietnamese and Cambodian rural areas then don't hesitate. It was awesome and would do again."

"Toum Tiou have 10 cabins and we shared the cruise with 9 americans and 4 French persons as 'a big family'. The ship was well maintained and the staff was very friendly and helpfull and made a very good impression. The life on the boat was relaxing and peaceful, but we had busy days with well arranged excursions. A trip on Mekong is highly recommended, and on Toum Tiou you get a personal touch to you trip. Enjoy Your trip on Mekong :-)"
