Thank you Mr Hau and Mr Nguyen. Our 17 days were well planned - highly negotiated and well managed. All our guides were friendly, personable and the itinerary was managed seamlessly. The air conditioned buses made transport in a busy and chaotic country easy and restful. Any problems that arose were dealt with seamlessly and a highly customised experience designed to meet our specific needs, We had 2 days in HCM, 3 days floating up the MeKong, 5 days in Camodia, 2 days Hanoi, then Halong bay, Hue and then finally as Hoi An... a wonderful experience - I would recommend highly.
