    The boat was beautiful, the staff and director couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. We had the trip of a lifetime learning so much history of Vietnam and Cambodia and meeting the people. The food was delicious. Exceeded our expectations

    This was the best river cruise we have done. So we'll organised even when it started raining we always got some rain ponchos or ambrelka. If it was very hot we received some fans and after every trip our shoes got cleaned. What a great service. A group of 26people made things very easy and after 2 days we where family

    It's not the operator (Avalon) it is Tour Radar You do less than the bare minimum for the money you charge and hide behind the pitiful excuse that you are a web based platform. Tour Radar agents take days and days to reply even to base enquiries and then don't really give a meaniful reply. Your company fall well below even basic expectations
