REVIEW

Trip was up to the normal high standard of Pandaw.  Being small ships the service is personal. There is also close contact with other passengers. Rivers were varied with a mix of scenery from industrial to agricultural, also of course the unique limestone islands of Halong Bay.

One depressing point is the amount of garbage dumped on the river banks in some areas.

The onboard guides worked very hard indeed to impart as much information as possible on Vietnam, its history, culture, and social and religious conventions.
