Cambodia i.e. Siem Reap? You can mail my guide - Chhor Elit - on [email protected]. He speaks great English and will come to pick you up with a car and driver. In Vietnam you can contact www.exotissimo - we booked a car thru them for our Hanoi trip and were very happy with the arrangements.

The best way to do this is to arrange a driver and English-speaking guide through the concierge at each of your hotels. This way you have a higher level of confidence in your driver/guide--and your driver/guide is accountable to the hotel.

THANK YOU BUT WE WILL BE ON A CRUISE SHIP AND NOT IN A HOTEL.

Would think the ship's purser should be able to find that out for you.

We were on a cruise recently that stopped in Vietnam. We took the ship's "Ho Chi Minh City on your own" bus, which took us to the Rex Hotel.
Then we used a guide from Anntours.com. You can email: [email protected].
We had an excellent guide and a driver with an AC car.
I never asked if the driver could pick us up at the port, which was about 2 hours away - maybe they can do that.
This tour company has an excellent reputation, and we were very pleased. I do not know what other cities they serve.
