Grace
Asked on April 2nd, 2025My partner and I are celiac, I wanted to know if there is a possibility of having gluten-free meals on the trip.
Realistic AsiaOperator•Written April 2025I will take a note of gluten-free in the meals during the trip for you. During this Melody Of Mountain and Sea tour, you will join group tours in Vietnam (group size maybe 12-14 people). The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from beginning till the end. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have different groups for excursion at each place, but airport pick up/transfer and accommodation are private, just join a group on days you have a tour. Can I know the hotel category you want for this trip? 3-star, 4-star or 5-star?

Asked on April 24th, 2024I am a vegan but I can eat some butter or eggs if it's cooked into food - I am wondering if there would be food for me on the tour? it says in the description about the quality of hotels 3 4 or 5 star, but doesnt say what kind of hotels we'd be staying in on this tour. I have a terrible back and the beds in south east Asia have been SO hard, I'm worried I won't sleep if they're rock hard on the tour for 8 nights.
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written April 2024
For you requirement about food, I will take a note about dietary requirements when prepare meals, so you can be secure about this one. For the hotel categories of this tour, we have 3*, 4* and 5*, and will have its price accordingly. We will arrange the room with a good bed for you.
