We had a very special time in Sapa and we are already planning to comeback to Vietna

Dear Ms Lananh

We had a very special time in Sapa and we are already planning to comeback to Vietnam and visit Sapa again! We particularly enjoyed the train trip up to Sapa - it was like being onthe Orient Express. It was our 25th Wedding Anniversary and we loved the privatecabin and slept well. The trip back was good too but the Aircon stopped in themiddle of the night and it became quite hot in the cabin. Our pickup from Lao Cai was simple and our guide Chai was exceptional! Shehas great knowledge of the hill people and their history and has a great senseof humour and speaks English very well. We had a wonderfulwalk through thevillages and we are keen to do a homestay next visit. Chai will be a verysuccessful guide and I'm sure she is destined for great things in her life.The Victoria Hotel was great and the chef there is superb! We had threecourses each and each one was fantastic! Our compliments to the chef. The bestmeal we have had in Vietnam. The Sapa View breakfast was good but not great. The staff were friendlyand we enjoyed the view. We would probably eat somewhere different next time forbreakfast. The Pho at the Victoria was very good. We have been comparingthroughout Vietnam and I think it is still at the top (although my wife makesthe best ;-)). Topas Ecolodge Cabins were very comfortable and would have a stunning viewon a clear day,but we did not have a clear day - who can help that?! We wouldprobably not go back there as it does not offer the variety of experiences thatSapa has. The staff were all very young and I think some people would value theadvice of someone older at times. The young staff werefriendly and helpful but Ithink still learning. We were held captive by the Red Dao women on our walks andalthough we like their conversation and advice,it is impossible to have walkwithout them. Overall,we loved our trip to Vietnam and Sapa was a special time in ourtrip. We will definitely be back and seeking your help and advice again Lan Anh!

We want express our thanks for your perfect organisation. Your fantastic guides showed us the magic of Northern Vietnam

Dear Ms. Hai Yen,

sorry for the late answer. Now we are back home,and it is cold and rainy. We want express our thanks for your perfect organisation. Your fantastic guides showed us the magic of Northern Vietnam. Especially the visit to the home from Thuy May in Sapa was impressing. Your guide in Hanoi,Mr. Quin,has a great knowledge about the destinations. He timed the trip absolutly perfect and we could visit Tam Coc and a phantastic cave in Halong bay without seeing any other tourists. The drivers worked very safe and the cars were very comfortably. We also enjoyed the stay in the hotels. It was one of the best trips,we ever made. For our next Vietnamtrip we will choose your company definitely.

Best Regards

We are happy to tell you that your service was very good

Dear Mrs. Yen,

Thank you for your mail. We are happy to tell you that your service was very good. You have arranged everything very efficiently ,all your replies were quick And clear. All the arrangements were good. You gave us the perfect guide Which understood our special taste and was very kind to make all the small Changes to expertly suit what we wanted. The hotels out of Hanoi were fine (especially the one in Halong). The only comments we have are on the lunches. After having the first one on the first day In Hanoi,we decided not to use these TOURISTS MENUS and had made and paid for our own Arrangements. But the lunch on the boat in Halong Bay was very nice. All in all we enjoyed very much and thank you very much again.

First of all,you organised an excellent tour for us and everything went smoothly

Dear Ms Hai Yen,

We have now had time to reflect on our holiday in Vietnam and would like to give you our feedback. First of all,you organised an excellent tour for us and everything went smoothly. There were no hitches,it was so well planned. Secondly our guides were all keen and enthusiastic but we would especially single out Lee in Hoi An and Tom in Nha Trang/Dalat. They were more experienced,knowledgeable and spoke good English. Thirdly,our accommodation was generally excellent and gave us a good flavour of small family run hotels in Hanoi and HCMC with unexpected luxury at My Tra and Dalat. Hoi An was comfortable with huge rooms but the Nha Trang hotel was a little disappointing;our rooms were very small. Fourthly the tours and trips were again excellent. There were too many highlights to mention but I really enjoyed Halong Bay,the Red Bridge cooking class and Cu Chi tunnels. Fifthly,we enjoyed our eating experiences and were very surprised at the high quality of the set lunches (in our experience they are usually predictable and ordinary). So once again,many thanks for a great tour and introduction to your wonderful country.
We would certainly recommend you to our friends. We look forward to returning and using your services again.

Regards,
Helen Thornburgh.

It is such a lovely country and so many interesting things to see

Hi Mrs Hai Yen,

Thank-you for your e mail. We absolutely loved our trip to Vietnam. It is such a lovely country and so many interesting things to see. The only trip we didn't really enjoy was the tour on the Island in the Mekong Delta. We really felt it was all about trying to extract more money from us. e.g. some locals entertaining us with some singing,then tipping the donkey ride drivers etc. It was a series of different events and they all made us feel uncomfortable as we didn't really know what the normal procedure was. We really loved the tour we did to the floating market though which we did before the Island tour. All our other tours we booked through you were really fantastic. Trip was absolutely amazing and I have passed your name onto other friends who are planning to travel to Vietnam!

Many thanks for all your help!
Kind Regards, Jane Lowe

Your company has found a gem. All your service partners are wonderful too

Hi Ms Hai Yen,

It is absolutely amazing to recieve this email from you. The least expected from a travel agent...especially on my 1st day back at home. Wonderfully surprising! You did a wonderful job right from the start of helping me tie down the trip in within 2-3days. Your promptness,proactiveness and command of the English language are plus points. I truely appreciate your flexibility in my payment. I was on the verge of confirming with another company but they didn't have the flexible payment option so I decided to jump ship over to your company. Both you and Diep are excellent service providers.

Your company has found a gem. All your service partners are wonderful too. Our tour guide in Sapa:Ms So did a great job. Our contact person (sorry I forgot his name) who helped us get onboard the train to sapa and recieved us back from Sapa,he was amazing too. We like the point to point contact person you have set up throughout the trip. It made us felt safe and well looked after. We knew that you guys have got everything settled and we had a peace of mind. Feedback Regarding our 1hr 10mins delayed pick up to Halong bay on 14Sep:The tour guide could have called the hotel to inform guests about the delay. At least we know what is happening. Rather than be kept wondering and waiting.
Taking this extra step will greatly cease any unhappiness.

 Thank you for your email. We'll definately contact you again for our future travels to indochina.
 Blessings, Christina &Family.
