Absolutely amazing trip and the best way to learn about daily life along the Mekong River. We took Mekong Eyes Classic cruise with one other couple and could not be happier with the accommodations, planning our transport each step of the way, and the itinerary. It was the trip of a lifetime!! Our trip guide Hai was the highlight and taught us so much about Vietnamese customs, answering all of our questions! He was warm, humorous and a delight to spend 3 days with! We miss him already. Song took excellent care of our food and drink needs. The film was fantastic and the crew professional. Highly recommend!
