There are easier ways to reach Cambodia and its famous Angkor Wat temples complex but is there any better?

Do you really want to miss out on drifting along the river to take in the sights, sounds, smells, and explore the daily water life as you ease into your hard-earned break.

You can of course take a bus or flight to Cambodia but the best way is to book a cruise with Saigontourist.

From Bach Dang Wharf in HCMC’s District 1, tourists will get ready for a lot more than a cruise as they head down to Chau Doc Town in the Mekong Delta and the waterland wonderland in Tien River before an overnight stay.

Once on the Tonle Sap, tourists will be taken to Siem Riep, home to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom and the world famous tourist site.

Also each evening Saigontourist guests can enjoy a romantic dinner drifting along Saigon River to see Saigon by night, there is also the chance to visit Binh Quoi and witness a traditional wedding or even venture to Can Gio to explore the mangrove forest.
