Although I will agree with Pat that our Siem Reap/Angkor experience was superb, I am not sure that I would agree that one could do a lot better than the Regent package in that same time frame.

Sure, 4 or 5 nights there would be better than 3; but the Regent package appears to be a pretty good deal based on my (admittedly very quick) review of the hotel prices. Raffles is an expensive hotel (considerably more expensive than the hotels Regent is using for the India package). The two days of touring around Siem Reap are pretty intense but will provide a good exposure to the Angkorian temples and the floating village life on Tonle Sap Lake.

Andi, I would suggest that you do a cost analysis of what your tour would cost on your own, as opposed to using the Regent package. The private tour factor is, of course, something that can't really be easily quantified and may be, in many occasions, "priceless".

Ngaire, could you tell us what credit we would receive for a non-use of the pre- or post-cruise package? That would be of great help in determining the value of the packages offered.

A million thanks. Fred
