Hi Tuan,

Good afternoon! I'm doing well here, thanks. Good to hear that you had a great time too at your Company trip.

It was so nice of you to take time off your business schedule to meet up with us. We had a great time travelling with Vivutravel. We really enjoyed Vietnamese food, the cruise in Halong and Sapa trekking, and the sceneries were just so amazing. It was one of the most memorable trip we have had. My husband Ye was very happy with all the photo opportunities in this trip.

Just one suggestion on the train cabin, we think that the first and last cabins of a coach may be noisier than the ones in the middle because the wheels mechanism are right below. It will help if you book cabin in the middle for your future customers.

Prince Cruise was FANTASTIC!! The children loved it too. Our stay in Ta Van Village in Sapa was very comfortable and clean with great scenery. Though the Guest house in Sapa wasn't very good in terms of comfort but we did appreciate it for the beautiful scenery - from the hotel we could take photo of the Sapa town by the hills, not to mention the magnificent view of the mountains was just next.

We just like to thank you for our wonderful trip in Vietnam. we will not hesitate to recommend Vivutravel to friends and hope we have the opportunity to goto Da Nang with Vivu.

Best regards,
Elaine
