I really would rate the company a 4.7 The Sales Manager of Viet Long Ms. Thanh Loan was in contact with us throughout the trip making sure everything was to our satisfaction. Saigon was a busy place and sadly to us was like Mumbai. The motorbikes were overwhelming and even parked near the Acnos Hotel. Our guide Mr. Dung made the provided tour very interesting and spent a good amount of time at the Cu Chi Tunnels which was the highlight of Saigon to us. The hotel in Cambodia JK Resident and the tour guide Mr.Bunrith were excellent and surpassed our expectations. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and we felt absolutely safe in Siem Reap. Hoi An was the highlight of the Vietnam side of the trip. I organized all my activities prior to going to Vietnam but the guide was most helpful in taking us to a good tailor and shoe shop, as well as strongly suggesting we do the Memories show, which was amazing. The hotel La Charm was the best hotel in terms of location, service and breakfast spread. A wonderful stay. Hanoi was another bustling place and even though the hotel was conveniently located and the service was good, there was need for especially the bathroom to be better. The Ha Long Bay guide Mr Durong was super entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and enhanced the tour with his personality. My one issue with the tour operator's itinerary is I wish the flights from one part of the country to another would have been either early morning or later in the afternoon to give us more time to explore the place. Tours are hard to do when the flights are in the middle of the day.Show more
