Dear Bo Bo,

A few lines, somewhat belated but nonetheless sincere, to express an enormous THANK YOU to you and the entire crew of the Kindat Pandaw for making our river cruise so enjoyable. Everyone loved every minute of their time on board and we all felt so pampered by your wonderful staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble.

We also very much appreciated your so miraculously retrieving Mrs. NEUENSCHWANDER's optical sun glasses. Easia Travel played their part in collecting them in Yangon and arranging for them to be handed over to the lady at the airport. As you can imagine, she was absolutely thrilled, as she really thought she had lost them for ever. A huge THANK YOU to you and your housekeeping team for your detective work and prompt action!

Thank you too for letting us use your laptop, which made translating the menus and daily programmes so easy.

You do a fantastic job, Bo Bo, and you and your team are to be congratulated. Keep up the good work! We will not hesitate to recommend Pandaw River Expeditions and hope very much to have the opportunity of sailing with Pandaw again in the not too distant future.

We wish you personally continued success and don't forget, that if ever you make the long journey to Europe, you have an open invitation to stay with us at our hotel.

Thank you again for everything and all good wishes,
Hermann & Marion

My wife and I were on the 16 February 2017 Red River Cruise from Halong Bay up to and past Hanoi. It was a delight. The cruise itinerary was extremely well designed. The places visited were very interesting with mostly no foreign tourists. The ship, RV Angkor Pandaw, was exceptional, it was what traveling by river steamer in 1930's must have been like and you wouldn't have been surprised to see Graham Greene, or Noel Coward having a drink in the lounge. I only wish there were more cruise lines like Pandaw. The cabins were well designed, very comfortable and with wood panelling.

The crew were 10 out of 10, and the food again 10 out of 10, as my waist line can unfortunately testify too. The two guides, Tifo and Tuan, were 11 out of 10. They had great knowledge of the places and people we visited and the flow of that knowledge was timed to perfection. From them I learnt a lot about Vietnam and its people that no books or newspapers could provide. Please thank them from the both of us. I loved Vietnam and its people and could go on for hours lauding praise on the cruise, the staff and guides but it’s easier to say that "I can without doubt recommend this cruise to anyone contemplating it and we will do another in the near future."

My husband and I recently had the wonderful experience of doing the 14 night Burma Irrawaddy Cruise leaving on the 19th December from Yangon to Mandalay and we really had to contact Pandaw to comment on our experience. The itinerary was relaxing yet covered most areas of interest on the river and the boat was beautiful, clean, relaxing and the food offered was way above what we expected in choice and taste.

But the crew of the boat were what really amazed us. They were absolutely amazing!! From the captain all the way to the lovely smiles and welcome back on board from the crew who had dug stairs up very steep river banks. We were spoilt beyond anything we have experienced. The crew went above and beyond and this is our greatest memory of our trip. The crew of our cruise deserve to be congratulated!!

Due to their amazing service and attitude we are only looking at doing Pandaw cruises in the future.
