We had an amazing time exploring Vietnam and really appreciated how well everything was arranged. The itinerary covered a lot, but we have never felt overwhelmed.
Communication was clear throughout, and we always felt looked after. Special thanks to Mie, who made everything easy behind the scenes. Having someone you can trust while traveling in a new country makes a big difference.
