    Dear Edith Thank you so much for your feedback on here. I am Manh at Vietnam Real Tour. I am so afraid that your husband and you were sick during your holilday in Vietnam. I were more afraid that we have talked to each other via WhatsApp before departure date of your holiday. You told me that the health of your husband and of you were not good, very sick. I have shared with you that you should cancel your tour. My company would not charge any fee for your cancellation. Because I could imagine how hard for your holiday with your recent health. However, you decided to travel, and missed almost day tour and stay much time at the hospital. My team and partner had also did all the best to take care of you and your trip, but you would still missed a lot activities. I do hope that both of you now are very well at home. I really hope to have one more chance to welcome you to Vietnam when you are very healthy to exjoy and experience the beauty of Vietnam. From here, my team and I always wish you healthy and happy. Best wishes! Manh & Vietnam Real Tour team!
