    Reply from: Legend Travel Group
    Dear Ms. Anh Hollowell, Thank you for choosing TourRadar and Legend Travel Group for your trip to Northern and Central Vietnam. We understand you were not completely satisfied with our services and shared your feedback on the website. We'd like to clarify a few points to ensure a clear understanding: -----------1-------------- You opted for a budget-friendly trip with 3-star hotels and a group tour priced under US $80.00 per day. It's important to manage expectations, as this service level differs from those priced at US $350.00 to US $400.00 per day, which typically include more personalized attention and additional inclusions. -----------2-------------- We offer various hotel categories (3-star, 4-star, and 5-star) for travelers to choose based on budget and preference. We strive to provide quality accommodations at every level, but a 3-star hotel will naturally have different standards than a 5-star hotel. -----------3-------------- We value customer satisfaction and take pride in our hotel selections. The TK-123 Hotel is generally well-received. If you had specific cleanliness issues, please provide photos or documentation to support your claims. -----------4-------------- Similarly, breakfast at 3-star hotels differs from 5-star hotels. Your budget-conscious choice affects included amenities. -----------5-------------- You traveled with your family, including two children. We charged for two adults and two children but provided full adult travel services for everyone. We want to be transparent and avoid misunderstandings about pricing and services. ----------------- We regret your experience didn't meet expectations. We always strive to provide excellent service and ensure positive trips. Thank you for your understanding. We value your feedback and wish you the best in your future travels. Best regards, - Legend Travel Group Team

    Sheila

    Asked on April 3rd, 2024

    Under whats included, it's stated flight from Ha Noi to Hoi An. But it also said internal airfare has to be paid separately. Can you please ask them when checking out to pay, does that already includes the airfare or not? Or do we need to bring cash to pay that day at the airport?

    Flights / Transfers
    Payments
    • Legend Travel GroupOperatorWritten April 2024

      To clarify your query regarding the internal airfare from Hanoi to Hoi An: This flight is an integral part of your tour package. However, the cost for this internal airfare, along with the tour guide fees, is not included in the initial booking amount. These costs will be settled upon your arrival in Hanoi as a local payment. You have the flexibility to settle this in Cash or by Credit Card, whichever is more convenient for you.
