Hardly to find out any mistakes on this trip. I enjoyed a lot!
We adored this tour! Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos were all beautiful countries. A nice variety of activities were planned for us. We were punctually picked up each morning and taken on the tours. We particularly enjoyed the Ha Long Bay Cruise as well as the Ba Vi Eco Tour. Trung, of the Ba Vi Eco Tours, was one of the best guides we’ve ever had. The hotels selected for us were all great. Everything was exceptionally easy, as well. Our trip was planned by Dat, who did a wonderful job. He promptly answered all questions and overall planned a wonderful trip. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
I have never had such prompt, thorough, and delightful experiences with a travel guide. In particular, Lana was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive in her recommendations, and suggestions based on excellent listening to our groups intentions and desires. Vietnam tour Fun is superb!!
