Nice trip with a small group tour, we traveling with 4 different tour guide and all of them spoke wonderful English. Great experiences and fun time with local people.
This was the best trip. Everything was organised perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble. Hien always got back to us quickly whenever we emailed her with a query. At first I was a bit anxious about booking with Vietnam Tour Fun travel because they were not in Australia but there was certainly nothing to worry about. With all our tours we were picked up on time and all our guides were very knowledgeable and spoke great English. Thank you Vietnam Tour Fun travel for a trip of a lifetime.
