Helo Dung,
Thank you so much for helping to plan such a wonderful trip for our family to Vietnam and Cambodia. Our tour guides were great - we learned so much about both countries and loved visiting all of the sites, especially the ancient temples of Ankgor Wat and Ankgor Thom and the beautiful islands in Halong Bay. And thank you also for the nice bottle of wine! We enjoyed it while on the boat in Halong Bay.
Happy Holidays,
Adrienne Winner
