Dear Trang,
We've come to the end of our Vietnam holiday, and we wanted to thank you for everything.
This last hotel was very well located -we could walk everywhere- and our guide has also been very helpful at all means.
This is a marvelous country, so different from our culture and yet so attractive. We will definitely recommend you to our friends, for all of you have been great, specially in these difficult moments that you had to change the original plans...
Thank you again, Trang!
