Karen, United States

This was a great trip. Amazing countries and sites with helpful, pleasant tour guides. All the travel and hotel went smoothly and I had a reasonable amount of free time to explore on my own. I recommend it very highly. One piece of advice that I would give is to bring several passport pictures with you. You will need 2 for Vietnam and 1 each for Cambodia and Laos. When you arrive, get in the "Arrival Visa" lines to get your visa on arrival. The forms the travel agency (or you download) gives you need to be approved at the airport prior to actually getting your visa stamps. Read more

Denise, Ukraine

Guided yet independent travel! You always have the support of the Legend team! We touched on many cultural sites on this tour, the guides were fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly! Recommended!

Victor, Russian Federation

The boat is not the newest available but the staff were quite friendly. With regards to the accommodation, the air conditioning was a bit deficient as it would not work when the boat was moving, and when it did blow in the cabin it was ineffective and blowed moist humid air.
