My travel plans were unique on the basis i did not want to go on a regular package tour to Vietnam. Paradise Travel were excellent with the planning of my trip. They were on hand to answer the most tedious of questions not only in the lead up to my visit but equally whilst i was in Vietnam. I shall look forward to using Paradise Travel soon my future visits to Vietnam.
