Thank for organising the trip - it was fantastic.
Everything went very smoothly
You are are the best.
Emily Aird was fantastic in sorting our holiday and for keeping us posted. A brilliant service, thank you.
Having someone, with relevant experience to recommend options and then take on the administrative burden gave us peace of mind/assurance that if any issues came up there was someone there to help resolve them. I thought they were just a flight broker but they offer so much more so if you need a partner to build and book your dream holiday look no further than Emily our consultant
Usual good service
Always helpful
Very professional service from start to finish Have used DialAFlight for many years
I have been using your company for several years. We have always received excellent service and travel advice, also back up whenever needed even from abroad. Your managers, Fraser and now Gino have been brilliant.
Thanks again Deborah and team for looking after us on our trip to Thailand. Everything went smoothly and the hotels and transfers were spot on. I’ll be using you again very soon.
This was a beautifully scheduled and packed 3 country holiday in great hotels that suited our needs. I definitely would recommend others to use DialAFlight as the first point of call for any intended holiday.
As always everything went well
Great deal on flights, great communication, someone was always available to help at all times. Would highly recommend
Great service as always. Thank you Spencer and team.
Owen was very helpful, worked out an excellent itinerary and gave us lots of advice. The hotels he booked were of a good standard and perfectly located. It gave us confidence to know that DialAFlight were available 24 hours a day to support us throughout our holiday if we got into any difficulty.
It gives you peace of mind when flights abroad are taken care of by someone reliable.
Excellent service
The Assistance at Heathrow is rubbish
Great to be able to talk to a responsive and knowledgeable human being....and get in touch so quickly|
We were not impressed with Qatar Airways
Always knowledgeable and helpful
Absolutely outstanding
Excellent service and communication
It is very reassuring to have a phone contact to help with flight details especially for the older generation.
Have used DialAFlight many times and they have excelled each time. Maybe not the cheapest option but the service you receive makes up for that. Seymour has gone over and above for us on the three holidays we have booked with him.
Excellent service from Ben, once again
We have used DialAFlight before and will use them again.
Amazing service. Thanks so much Jamie. Will definitely use you again
Easy from start to finish.
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 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.
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.
