- Highlight of Southeast Asia in 10 Days - Halong Bay/ Siem Reap / Bangkok
Day 2 itinerary - there was an activity not included on the tour at the end of the day that we’re not aware about but in order to participate we have to pay an admission fee, which we did to participate. The tour guide z(lily) should summarize at the start of the day the activities for the day to inform us what to expect or if it’s consistent with our listed itinerary. During the biking tour to the temple the instructions was unclear where to meet, we got behind the group and before reaching the temple a couple on the side of the road motioned for us to stop and “to deposit the bike to them” and told us “if we need to use the bike up to the temple we have to pay them 100 VND” . We left the bike with them and decided to walk the rest of the way to the temple. This was reported to Lily the tour guide who said “ the biking should be up to the temple and she will talk to the couple” who told us to leave the bike with them on the side of the road. 3 nights in Cambodia is too much with not much to do after the half day excursions on Day 6, we could have flown to Bangkok and spent extra night in Bangkok, or in Vietnam where there are more things to do. The Mandarin hotel in Bangkok is excellent the hotel in Hanoi in the French Quarter and Siem Reap are comfortable and centrally located. Breakfast food selections are excellent with wide variety in the Mandarin Hotel in Bangkok, in the other 2 hotels in Hanoi and Siem Reap the breakfast food are just okay. Service and staff are excellent. Tour guide Lili in Hanoi, needs improvements in communication although all the tour guides are extra nice and
