Testimonials from our FORMER CLIENTS

Vy – Thank you for putting together such a great trip for us.  It was quite an adventure – a lot of fun and full of many “firsts” for us.  We learned so much about your wonderful country.  We had a fabulous time.

Just wanted to thank you for setting up a great dinner on the New Year’s Eve at Morning Glory Signature – delicious food and a primo view of the river festivities.

Tom was fantastic – a great tour guide and a lot of fun.  Thank you again for encouraging us to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels – that was a blast!  By the way, Ann has already hung the picture you gave in our house – thank you.  What is the best place to post a review for you – TripAdvisor?

Thanks, Bill & Ann

BILL x2pax – Vietnam Highlight 10 Days

Hi,  Vy

I will try to summarize the major comments on our trip.

Generally – the trip was very good, everything was on schedule, your supervision and your availability during the trip was very helpful and appreciated, and we were very pleased and recommended your company in any web.

All the Hotels were superb (but for the Homestay in Sapa – see below), especially the hotel in Sapa.)

The day in Hanoi – the tour in the city was quite short, I would add some walking along the lake – if weather permits.

Ninh Binh – the cruise on the river was a very nice experience,  the legs-rowing was quite an attraction..

Train to Sapa – I would recommend a wagon for two, rather than for four.

All the arrangement (Mango hotel) were 100%, and worked perfect.

The lady guide in Sapa was very loveable and authentic – we loved her very much and recommend her.

The Homestay, though,  was a disappointment – it was not a homestay at all – but rather a 3^rd class low rank Bungalow Hotel – nothing like a home stay.

The Halong-Bay sail was very nice and a very high class and good conditions – everything was perfect..

Saigon – the guide was very good.

I would recommend adding the Cou- Dai main temple to the day of Ku-Chi tunnels, and try to aim to service hours.

I also missed the floating market in the Mekong Delta.

The Sampan sail was wonderful – in my eyes one of the best parts of the trip!

The boat was wonderful, the guide and the whole team on boat were 100%.

Cambodia – the guide in Pnom-pen was O.K., and the guide in Siem-Riep was wonderful, and highly recommended.

Both activities – cycling and cooking class were very enjoying and a good experience.

I hope my comments will be helpful

Thanks again for your personal devoted supervision

Tari and Ronit.

GOSHEN x4Pax – Passion of Vietnam & Cambodia 17 Days

Dear Lee

I have been meaning to message to say thank you for what was a truly unforgettable trip. We absolutely loved our trip in Vietnam – thank you for creating such an excellent itinerary for us and for all the organisation.

Thank you for the beautiful gifts and also for my surprise birthday cake – it made the day even more special.

Real highlights for us were:

– the Vespa food tour on the last night – so special to see HCMC that way and we felt very safe with the careful drivers

– the beautiful boat on Halong Bay (although we were deeply sorry to hear about the tragedy the next morning)

– the family experience caving day with Loc (excellent guide)

– train street

– the row boat in Tam Coc – in fact we loved all of the boat trips

– walking along river in Hoi An and seeing the lanterns at night

– the war Remnants museum in HCMC – deeply moving

– Anhill hotel was absolutely stunning and massage was amazing treat

– swimming in the waterfall in puluong and visiting the ancient house where the couple let us play with all the old toys and showed us how to de-husk the rice

– Tung the driver in north Vietnam was great – so kind and patient with our family- we really would recommend him

– cycling, foot massage and cookery class in hue

– all of our guides were great

– there were so many more highlights as we really did love every day

A couple of very minor constructive comments that I share privately with you for you to consider:

– I recommend that drivers at airports /train stations have a name board and are waiting at arrivals

– by the end we felt we had seen A LOT of temples – possibly I would drop one or two.

Thank you again

Rachel

Dear Ms. Vy,

Thank you for  organizing our fabulous trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. The  arrangements were seamless, and it was wonderful having a driver meet us at each airport. The guides were fantastic and very flexible.  We liked all of the hotels (Borei Angkor, Grand Peridot, Silk Path, Orchid Cruises, Villa Maly, Palm Garden Resort), in particular the Silk Path in Hue, and Villa Maly in Luang Prabang but we would stay at all of them again.  Villa Maly isn’t 5 stars but it is very inviting and personal, so I would definitely recommend it. Halong Bay was a great way to start the trip after a very long voyage. It allowed us to relax and start the time change.  Tai Chi on the boat rooftop was magical. The food everywhere was fabulous.
If I were to make any changes, I would add the waterfalls in Luang Prabang which our guide said was possible if the order of visits was changed in Luang Prabang.  I would also add another day in Hoi An but we couldn’t take more time off work.  The guides and tours in all places were great but we especially loved the food tour in Hanoi and Jack Tran Eco Tour in Hoi An.
Overall, it was a fabulous trip and I would highly recommend your services to anyone.

kind regards,

Carol

CAROL x4Pax – Essence of Indochina 14 Days

Dear Lee,

In the meantime we are back home in Belgium for a week and I would like to thank you for the beautiful trip we made in Vietnam!

Everything was very well arranged. The hotels, drivers and guides were well organized and always present on time. It was a very good mix of activities (city, nature, culture). Thanks to guides Tom and Ben, we were able to get close to the population, to enjoy their daily activities. That is something we would never experience without them. The indoor flight was also well organized and the night train was an experience in itself!

It is definitely a nice feeling when you can enjoy your holiday carefree!

We will definitely recommend you here in Belgium to our family, friends and colleagues!

A word of appreciation for our drivers and guides. Certainly Tom (Saigon), and Zjung (Hanoi), and Ben (Ninh Binh) we would like to recommend.

Tom has our preference:

• very open-minded,
• spoke good English with a good accent
• has told us a lot about the country, its customs, its culture. Really enriching!
• added extras to the program (especially on An Binh Island and the local market)
• was present but not dominant. Really pleasant to deal with.
• took our wishes into account

Zjung:

• pleasant person, easy to get along with
• good English
• stuck to the program, few extras
• Attentive to look for some diversity in the culinary field

Ben:

• very driven and very helpful
• he clearly loves his job
• very extensive general knowledge and also interested in our country and culture
• behaves submissively which is not necessary at all
• despite being very well-intentioned on his part, his presence was sometimes a bit tiring. We preferred some free time, while he preferred to do things together
• he really wants to support the local population and always eat there. Sometimes we preferred the restaurant of the hotel which he did not understand very well
• good English vocabulary, but bad accent so he is not always easy to understand. Then he made himself clear via the smartphone, so he solved it.

So Lee, best regards

And who knows, maybe until our next trip!
