Hoa was an amazing trip coordinator and specialist. Her attention to detail was superb and we appreciated her handling all the details quickly and efficiently. She checked with us each step of the way while on our trip to ensure all was well and when we had an issue in Borneo she managed it efficiently as well! We spent a month touring SE Asia and during that time, we were very satisfied with the itinerary, the activities and the included meals. Thank you, Hoa for a job well done !

Hotel Review
Perkasa Hotel Mt. Kinabalu
Kundasang

We loved this hotel and were shocked that it was only rated as a 3 star. The setting was amazing - we felt like we were in the Alps! The room was well appointed and appeared to have been recently renovated- food was good as well!

Ho Chi Minh City

Seeing how people live along the River was wonderful. But the condition of the river was very sad. Water hyacinths clog the entire river suffocating fish life and making it nearly impossible for boat engines to, get through. Ho Chi Minh City is a beautiful city with nice restaurants and we enjoyed the hotel we stayed at. The value was good, but it was sad to see how people are forced to live along the River.

Our driver was great and the boat captain got through the delta…the long boat captains were also good. The river was so dilthy the further you went up river. Human waste, garbage, smells (ugh).

This day was great fun! Seeing how the locals fish, experiencing the basket boats through the water coconuts, lunch at a local home and finishing the evening in old time with the lantern lighting!
