I have just returned from my trip to South East Asia and want to thank you for making my stops in Vietnam very memorable. All the members in my group enjoyed the shore excursions very much. Your tour guides met us at the port as promised and there were no glitches except for the one by Princess Cruise at Chan May. Because of the delay by the tender boats in getting to shore, we were unable to drive to the ancient capital of Hue. However, the alternative destination to Hoi Ann was a good compromise in view of the time constraint.
I want to give particular thanks to Tom, who took over as guide from Mr. Khoi at Nha Trang, for a fantastic day out on the river Cay. To Mr. Hoang for the history lesson about central Vietnam and his excellent English. Kudos also to Mr. Doa for his professionalism. These three gentlemen do credit to your organization. Should I be coming back to South East Asia again, I would not hesitate to use your company again.
Thank you again Mr. Do Ha.
Sincerely,
Peter Ho
