Thanks for securing early flights home from Phnom Penh once the risk of becoming stranded became too high. My original return flights home with Singapore Airlines did actually get cancelled some days later when I had already arrived back in the UK.
Always a pleasure to know I’m safe in your care
I want to thank Jake and Owen for their endeavours to get me home in difficult times
Charlie and his team did a great job in sorting our holiday
Very efficient service. Well done!
We were upgraded on our Hanoi to Dubai flight. Business Class was really nice.
All went to plan.
It was very easy to organise this trip as it was all done for me. Jack helped me all the way. Listened to what I needed and it was all done
A fantastic trip organised by great staff - top class service and backup.
Thanks Bruno for everything, it was an amazing holiday.
Always book through you - always an excellent service.
Incredible personal service - I feel the staff really know me and do everything they can to plan my trips whether to Cambodia, Sierra Leone or France. Can’t recommend them highly enough and will always turn to DialAFlight for future trips.
Seamless journey, team was on hand for any questions. Excellent service, that is why I come back for my trips
You made it so simple, nothing was an issue. Your calm helpful approach was 10 out of 10
As usual a great service from Frank and team
Excellent support and follow up phone calls for reassurance. When travelling with children this was particularly appreciated.
Absolutely brilliant trip.
Jenson always does a great job. This trip was tricky to plan but he persevered to get it right. Even when plans were cancelled due to weather Jenson supported us to find a resolution. Invaluable service and always at the best price. I highly recommend DialAFlight
Friendly and professional service. Couldn’t ask for more.
Yet again another faultless performance by Ivor. I don't use anyone else and he is already busy sorting flights to the US for our family for thanksgiving.
Great flight, great holiday. Always first class service
Very happy with DialAFlight again.I recommend all the time
As always - excellent communication - all questions answered promptly. Have used the company many times and will do so in the future due to the excellent customer service
Tyler and Doug brilliant, thanks guys
Remarkable holiday, could not rate higher. Organisation before during and return could not be faulted
The service from translating our holiday ideas into a real and practical schedule was excellent as it always is. We had an amazing trip to Cambodia and Thailand and everything worked perfectly. We always recommend DialAFlight to friends.
Alan and Clinton are the best, will only ever use them.
Thank you for the helpful suggestions
We have used DialAFlight for the past 6 years and found them excellent. All itineraries have been faultless making holidays a pleasure and worry free. time
This was a great flight coordination job from Carter! All worked brilliantly on comfy planes for a good price.
The long transition from war zone to
fashionable holiday place has happened several times before, but never perhaps
with such pace and style as that accomplished by Vietnam and Cambodia.
Until relatively recently Vietnam's Mekong Delta summoned up thoughts of the epic 1979 war movie Apocalypse Now, in which Martin Sheen's soldier journeys upriver on a patrol boat in search of a renegade officer played by Marlon Brando.
A highlight is to watch the sun rise over Angkor Wat
A BIT ABOUT THE
MEKONG
The Mekong played a key role in the
war. Former US Secretary of State John Kerry commanded a Swift patrol boat on
the river 50 years ago - he was so appalled by what he saw during his period of
combat that he became a fervent anti-war campaigner. He subsequently entered
politics, becoming the Democratic nominee for President in 2004.
Last year, Kerry returned to the Delta and discovered that the free-fire zone he had served in was now the starting point for one of the world's great cruising experiences.
The 2,700-mile Mekong begins as
snowfall on the Tibetan plateau among the Himalayas - and ends at the Mekong
Delta in Vietnam where it flows into the sea. Like most rivers, through history
it has been a source of life and hope. Its waters play a vital part in
irrigation: in the Mekong Delta the rice fields thrive because of it.
Politically, it acts as a border between countries - it passes through six.

ALONG THE RIVER
A Vietnam and Cambodia river trip
needs at least a fortnight to do it justice - beginning for example in Ho Chi
Minh City, formerly Saigon, and ending in Siem Reap near the extraordinary
Angkor temple complex. A highlight of any trip here is to watch the sunrise
over Angkor Wat.
As with most river cruises, a key
attraction is the service on board. Much sought after is the cuisine of
Luke Nguyen - an acclaimed chef, author and TV personality who serves his own
brand of local cuisine paired with quality wines. In Ho Chi Minh City,
passengers can enjoy an exclusive dinner at the stylish Xu restaurant, inspired
by Luke, with a range of exquisite dishes that offer a contemporary take on
traditional Vietnamese favourites.
There is also the possibility of
having a Vietnamese cooking class on some boats, as well as a dance show by
children from a local orphanage, a water blessing by a monk and a visit to a
local farmer's home.
Guests can visit the Cu Chi tunnels, which were used by the Viet Cong. There is also a chance to enjoy the Rex Hotel, famous as the place where during the Vietnam War the American military command held its daily news conference, referred to by war correspondents as the Five O'Clock Follies thanks to the absurd optimism of the American officers. The Rex's rooftop bar was a well-known hangout for military officials and war correspondents.
There are more harrowing reminders of
troubled times in Cambodia, where tours are available from Phnom Penh to the
Killing Fields at the village of Choeung Ek, the site of a Buddhist memorial to
the victims and a genocide museum commemorating the genocide.
A memorial park has been built around
the mass graves of many thousands of victims, most of whom were executed after
interrogation at the S-21 Prison in Phnom Penh. Tuol Svay Pray High was turned
into a torture, interrogation and execution centre. Of the 14,000 people known
to have entered, only seven survived.
But the most memorable feature for
most visitors will be arriving at Siem Reap, from which tours depart to Angkor
Wat.
Take a tour a long the Mekong Delta
SIEM REAP
Siem Reap used to be a stopping-off point. Thanks to the
growth in tourism it has become a destination in its own right. It has attracted
a burgeoning community of Cambodian and international artists: the Angkor Wat
International Film Festival, for example, has become a major event.
The prime attraction, however, is the
temple complex at Angkor Wat, where you will be taken to watch the sunrise. The
temples are on top of a hill; on arrival you will enjoy a fabulous view over
Tonle Sap lake, the Kulen Plateau and paddy fields.
Built more than 1,000 years ago, the
temple is beautiful, particularly when the frangipani trees are
in bloom.
