10.0 Private tour: car + driver and guide
Me and my wife had just returned from a two weeks tour in Vietnam. This was a private tour where we made the program and hired the services of "Paradise Travel" to provide transportation and guiding along our way. Alex Duy from Paradise was the person that we worked with for all the necessary arrangements, schedule,payments etc. When returning, we feel that this company and Alex in particular, is very eligible for our recommendation: Their price was very competitive. Always came on time and program exactly as agreed upon. New vehicles, good drivers and excellent guides. In short just to sum up: very reliable and indeed a good quality service.
