A trip of a life time – Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia

I wouldn’t change a single moment

I just wanted to say on behalf of my family that we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Vietnam!  Everything was perfect and I wouldn’t change a single moment.  All of your staff is wonderful and we appreciated their wonderful attentive assistance.  Our most favorite parts of the trip were:   - Hoi An – the hotel was beyond our expectations!  The restaurant suggestion by Tony, Morning Glory was amazing and the vespa tour was so much fun.  We managed to get some great quality clothes tailor made at Yaly that we will cherish. - Halong Bay – Wow.  The Jasmine was worth the extra money.  We were treated to a very special dinner in the cave with a music and dancing.  It was a real treat.  - Sapa – this goes without saying is a must.  It was incredible to see the mountains and the villages.  We will cherish this experience for a long time.    Thank you for all your hard work.  We appreciate all your services and hope to use you again for future travel!  Thailand, Cambodia, and some of the smaller countries around that region!
