Hello Ms. Huong,
Everything is fine for us. Our return went well. We have had beautiful memories in Vietnam. We have discovered many interesting things about your country.
The Sakyo hotel was perfect. It was very well located and met all our expectations. Every day from 3 pm to 5 pm, they offered tea with sweets and sometimes they had a small orchestra. We really enjoyed the hot bath on the roof of the hotel. The room was beautiful. We highly recommend it.
Saigon really pleased us. We discovered many beautiful places and great restaurants. Anaé loved the zoo and our tour guide for her kindness, her attention.
The 2-day cruise was amazing, my guide spoke French very well and she was very attentive. Our daughter really enjoyed joking with her. The kitchen on the boat was of a very high standard. They took great care of our allergies.
Visiting some villages and seeing how they made rice cakes and noodles really delighted us. We loved Southern Vietnam and experienced a lot of new things there.
Thank you for your work and adaptation to the program we expected. No crowds of tourists, just perfect.
Yours sincerely,Elisa Pierre-Yves and Anaé.
I am interested in the tour itinerary and looking to ask about or change some aspects.
