1. What is it like to enjoy a private Mekong River sunset dinner in Phnom Penh?

A private Mekong River sunset dinner is a tailored experience designed for those who seek exclusivity and intimacy. Instead of a conventional restaurant setting, guests are welcomed aboard a private boat that cruises along the legendary Mekong River.

As twilight approaches, Phnom Penh’s skyline and riverside villages slowly fade into the background, giving way to a serene panorama of shimmering water and glowing skies. During this time, guests are treated to a carefully curated dinner, often blending Cambodian culinary traditions with international flavors, accompanied by fine wine or refreshing cocktails.

This experience combines the art of fine dining with the cultural and natural beauty of Phnom Penh, making it an unforgettable highlight of any journey.

You MUST USE Glamour Adventures !!!!
We just had the most incredible three weeks in Vietnam and it was largely due to the unbelievable planning, care and attention from the wonderful folks at Glamour Adventures. We worked with Rose and Uyen to plan our trip and everything was taken care of efficiently, professionally and to perfection. Everything you can imagine was thought of including dietary restrictions. There was only one small issue which was dealt with professionally and to our satisfaction. We can’t say enough good things about Glamour Adventures and if you want to visit Vietnam or any of the other countries that they support, you will absolutely be thrilled with your experience. Thank you Rose and Uyen for the wonderful memories. Love Lisa and Michael from Canada

35 day Indochina tour Mrs. Vicki 01st April 2026
35 day Indochina tour
We did a 35 day Indochina Odyssey with Glamour Adventures starting in North Vietnam at the end of January 2026 and then going to Central and South Vietnam, Cambodia. Laos and Thailand before doing a further 3 weeks in Southern Thailand on our own. The trip was incredibly very well organised by Ms Van Quang and we felt we covered a lot of ground, visited a diverse number of places and were very well looked after at all times. The hotels we stayed in were all good standard with clean, spacious rooms, a/c, good showers, nice breakfasts and good locations. Most reflected the character of the region and whilst some were better than others overall we were very happy with them all. A wide variety of freshly cooked and tasty lunches introduced us to many different types of regional food with generous portions. The food definitely exceeded our expectations. We had several English speaking guides who were very good and informative about their countries, drivers were polite and helpful and the transport was all comfortable and clean. There was a good combination of sight seeing and free time for us to explore and the guides made helpful suggestions of what we could do in the free time and what the local food specialities were. Finally, and importantly, Ms Van was proactive in checking how we were getting on and she was available at all times, if we had any queries she responded quickly. We really enjoyed the whole trip and if we had to pick some favourite places then we particularly enjoyed Hoi An, Siem Reap, Saigon and Chang Mai. The weather wasn’t too good in Sapa and Ba Na Hills so we missed out on some spectacular views but it is difficult to get good weather throughout Indochina. It didn’t spoil our trip and is all part of the travelling experience. The only thing I might look at in more detail in hindsight is the length of travel time for a couple of the day trips - either to tweak the itinerary or just be prepared. We thought the tour was very good value and would definitely recommend using Glamour Adventures.
