I just want to thank you for all you did.
Although, I visited Vietnam several times. But is is the first time I went with you. '' Romance of Indochina'' oh it is the best trip I have ever joined.
All services are excellent! Guides, buses, drivers, hotels, junk, sampan, restaurants...
It is a trip for a lifetime!
I will never forget!
Thank you again

We are all home now after a wonderful 17 days traveling throughout your part of the world.
I just want to thank you for putting together a most memorable trip. We are thrilled that we got to see Thailand and hope that the political situation is soon straightened out for the good of the people. We also loved Vietnam and Cambodia. The planes were right on time and your guides met us at each airport and were most knowledgeable and responsive to our every need.
We hope you are feely better and are sorry we did not have a chance to thank you in person.
Happy New Year.
