Travel Review: Luxury Cambodia Vietnam Vacation, Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Sapa, ...

We would go without a driver and guide in Hanoi - they're just not necessary - and also opt for a less structured visit to Halong Bay. We chose the Indochina Junk Company because of their beautiful boats and promise of quieter locales, but most of their itinerary is eating and very little time is spent kayaking - which was what we were most looking forward to. In Sapa we would have liked to hike more. Our route was a little too easy, but weather dictated our trail so there wasn't much we could do about that. Three days probably would have been fine. In Cambodia we should have skipped the trip to Tonle Sap Lake. It was just a big unpleasant tourist trap. For some reason we thought the focus of the trip was going to be natural world. Also, if we had been able to stay another 3 or 4 days, we would have liked to have gone to Hue and Ho Ann. Next time.
