    This trip went beyond our expectations!We were collected and delivered promptly politely and safely throughout the 16 days"Our local guides were all very different with a different skill set at each location which made for an interesting and never boring tour.We joined a group only in Hanoi one day a different group for 10 cabins on the boat at Halong Bay and a different group of 10 people in HCMC for the Mekong Delta tip so we never felt "stuck "or "trapped When we decided 4 days in Nga Trang may be too long as we live on the beach at home your company organised a private tour to Dalat in the mountains.Likewise again at short notice we went on a private tour from Hanoi to Bac Ha and then Sappa.All sso very interesting and all so easy!!!

    Thank you so much for your help on our trip. We had a lovely time. We loved Hanoi, our guides were friendly, funny and well informed. We liked the lunch restaurant in Hanoi and they sent us away with a huge amount of food for our son who slept through lunch! The only thing we wished we would have made time for was exploring/ shopping in the Old Quarter. The children lived the water puppets and we all enjoyed the cyclo ride. The stay at the Sofutel was perfect- comfortable and family friendly. The Ha Long bay cruise was amazing. The staff, service, and food in the boat were exceptional. The staff on the bait went above and beyond for our children and we appreciated their help and friendliness. Our time in Saigon was nice as well, TinTin was a fantastic guide with a great sense of humour. We liked the day on the Mekong. We felt that the lunch restaurant was a little run down, the table clothes were dirty and the surrounding garden was junky- but the food was enjoyable. The hotel was ok- a little outdated and not to our standard of 5 star/ but we are greatly appreciative of your efforts to make our family comfortable and happy. Our time at Angkor was perfect and our guide, Lei was kind enough to bring us for lunch straight away as the visa process was very long. Le Zmerufuem was s lovely choice and our stay was very comfortable- I would recommend other travellers to stay there. Thank you again!
