    Dear Deepan Gunasekaran, Thank you so much for spending time to write a feedback for us. We really appreciate it. It helps us to improve our service for the future clients. In regards to the accommodation during the trip, we always choose the hotels that are located in the centre just walking area. So the clients can easily to explore each destination after the day trips with us. However, if they want to stay at the hotels that is a bit far from the centre and have a bigger and nicer room size, we can also accommodate it. We always try our best to make sure our clients will enjoy their holiday with us. Therefore, please feel free to let us know your special requests when you book the tour and during the tour with us. Our customer support team will try our best to accommodate it no worries. Once again, thank you so much for your feedback. We do hope to have a chance to organise another trip in Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos for you in the future. Best regards, Swallow Travel team,
