Originally we were planning to visit just Vietnam, but then saw the itinerary for this Vietnam and Laos trip this was the experience we were looking for. We didn’t know much about Laos and now it is the country we want to visit this beautiful country again. The trip was well organized and the guides were very friendly and professional. We really loved that we had a chance to spend more time in the countryside and spend time with local people. Will definitely recommend this travel agent.
It’s worth for my honeymoon trip. I fell in love with the way you chose the accommodations and arranged the honeymoon treatment for us. Especially the private dinner with candle in cruise. You were highly recommended by my friends not for nothing. No matter how hard my requirements were, you tried to fulfill without any complaint. Your professionalism is not a joke. Big clap for your effort.
Nice arrangement, nice destinations, nice tour guide, nice follow-up. Everything is so nice. But it would be better if my group doesn’t vary in different ages.
It’s once in a blue moon to witness hundreds of boats gathering. I couldn’t imagine that how they can do such thing until I was in this tour. Everything was fresh like my fresh experience in travelling aboard. Vietnam Tour Fun satisfied my curiosity in exploring new things, not ordinary sort of travel textbook. All tour guides were so excellent with thorough knowledge and managing skills. I don’t know how my tour would have been without your support.
My group has contemplated as soon as we had obtained your comprehensive plan based on our request. But due to bad weather and a part of plan has ruined. At first we were distressed. But the way you carried out a back-up plan and re-arranged everything at place has made up for my misfortunes. Thanks for your sympathy and prompt actions. I will plan the next trip with you and please cover the part we have missed.
