Vietnam - Cambodia tour was all that we expected and more
Hello Kim Dung
Thank you so much for your service in preparing and scheduling our trip.
Our Vietnam - Cambodia tour was all that we expected and more.We very much enjoyed it and all of the details of the trip, hotels, flights, boat rides, etc., were carried out to perfection. Your tour guides were invariably helpful, knowledgable and punctual. They were also able to quickly make changes to our schedules if our interests varied from the stated schedule. One day, when my wife had a food sickness, our Saigon tour guide, Do, was even kind enough to consult a doctor and bring her some medicine.
We absolutely loved your tour and would happily recommend Vivutravel to any other potential customers!
Thanks so much.
