After a hectic week, I've now had time to reflect on experiences from our study trip on the Mekong. And my dear friend, I just want to say many thanks for all your effort to make the trip unforgettable. Once again, I lost my hart in Cambodia... My God!
I have received, as you already have seen, mails from my partners, in which they want to thank all of you, and now will try to exert themselves further after the amazing experiences they've had on this trip.
I also have to forward their greeting, as they themselves put it, they look forward to a reunion soon.
Thank you once again and let's stay in touch.
Best regards,

Well what can I say
THANK YOU ...........THANK YOU
This was truly an amazing trip,
Sandy and his crew were amazing and we had such a wonderful time and experience.
The visits especially in Cambodia where just wonderful and really got to us being so close to kids and other folk along the way. Vietnam - a bit more "organised" and maybe just as a suggestion we don't need to cover two candy factories - but hey both were good.
I have put a suggestion in to Sandy that maybe you could look at when you get to the first port in Vietnam or Cambodia depending which way you are travelling, that one of the first points of call should be a money changer - Bank so that travellers if they haven't bought/changed money are able to get some local dong/riel - or to top on US dollars and or if Sandy/ Serge etc have funds that they can advise clients that they can change money - Sandy did say at the end when I mentioned it that he could have done this - But maybe a note about currency and what to expect to spend along the way as part of a Cabin information/ tour information kit would also be a bonus.
I also enjoyed albeit brief meeting Serge and his party on Toum Tiue1 at Phnom Penh and getting a brief look over his ship
The tour company - Dietholm Travel also did us proud in Siem Reap and I have also contacted them. - Thank you for this - Our Guide Sieng Kimthay was excellent and spoke very good English - would be good to have in your company !!!!!
Once again THANK YOU
Regards, Stuart Betlem.

Dear Sirs,
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of taking your cruise on the Toum Tiou 2 from Seam Reap to Saigon (30OCT11).
Let me say how much we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The boat is in tip top condition. The cabin comfortable and well serviced.
The food was excellent and good variety. All staff were courteous and very helpful under the direction of the very capable "Captain Sam". The shore excursions were well organised, interesting and well carried out.
From the comments we heard from fellow passengers, all agreed it was a grand cruise. My wife and I would have no hesitation in using the services of your company again and recommending it to others, in fact we have already done so.
Kindly ensure these comments are passed to Captain and crew of the Toum Tiou 2 with our sincere thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Trevor and Jan Greenwood

We are so lucky to choose the Toum Teav. By far the best boat on the Mekong and Tonle Sap.
The crew were fantastic and could not be faulted. They could not do enough for us.
The side excursions were also fantastic.
