Doris was such a pleasure to work with! She created a private tour for our family of six with ages ranging from 65 to age 5! Her attention to detail was spot on. We love the beautiful hotels she booked. The itinerary was just right, the guides and drivers were exceptional! The roomy passenger van was top notch! She booked our flights within the country and even helped us with our visas. We had a friendly driver waiting for our delayed flight and guide at the airport after a 20 plus hour flight so we were so exhausted so that was a lifesaver to be taken to our hotel and even helped with our check in.
We loved Ho Chi Minh City and learned so much on our delightful tour. It was very meaningful and special . We love the people of Vietnam and were treated with so much kindness. Our next stop was Hanoi. Another exciting city and a new guide and driver who treated us exceptionally well. Both were always on time and delightful to be with. We had an amazing day of touring Hanoi and before we knew it we were off to an amazing cruise on HaLong Bay! The ship exceeded our expectations and all of the tours from the ship were very fun. The accommodations were perfect and we enjoyed the elevated dining experience with great food. Our lovely tour guide was there to pick us up on time and back to Hanoi for our flight to Phi Quoc. Again the resort was absolutely amazing! Truly paradise ! We had the best time there and were sad when it was time to leave ! We had a seamless experience being transported to the airport back to Ho Chi Minh then picked up by a driver Doris arranged for us that also was outstanding for over overnight before our international flight home.
We were so happy to meet Doris in Hanoi. She is the most kind, hard working , professional that you could ever hope for. I don’t know how she did it, but every arrangement she made for us and every person we had the pleasure of spending time with were so kind, organized and truly went out of their way to make this the best trip we have ever been on. We are so thankful and feel so blessed to have Doris and her staff create a trip of a lifetime. We love Vietnam and hope to visit again someday. We have already recommended to our friends to contact Doris if they would like to travel to the destinations that she does travel planning for. Thank you Doris!! May we meet again!!

What a surprise this was! This resort is right on the ocean and Arvilla, which had three wonderful bedrooms in it and four bathrooms and two outdoor showers and our own private pool was more than we could’ve ever dreamed of! Thank you Doris for getting this for us, this was pure heaven!

Indochine Lan Ha Cruise
Hai Phong

What a fabulous and upscale experience. The staff were perfection. The activities were really fun, and we especially loved the tour of the cave and also riding in the bamboo boat and coming across a lot of monkeys.

Authenticity & Character
This was probably one of our favorite experiences, just being out on a cruise ship and getting to spend the night in the beautiful bay. It was one of the most magnificent sunsets we’ve ever seen.

It was a little drive to get there, but we had such a great tour guide and driver. The time went by so quickly.

Everything was clean and comfortable, and the bedding was magnificent
Ibis Saigon Airport

This hotel was our choice to be close to the airport. It was OK clean with very small rooms, but I do have to say they’re elevator. Doors slam shot very hard and unfortunately, I slammed my elbow in it and it was very bruised. Of course I will recover from that, but I wonder about a small child getting crushed by the elevator doors. However, their room service is very good and prompt and also the shuttle was on time and the front desk was very helpful. The rooms were clean but very much just for overnight airport stays.

Singh was our tour guide and I don’t remember our driver’s name, but they were exceptional and very knowledgeable about all of the city and all of the temples and the government buildings and just the way the city works. It was really fun hanging out with our tour guide. He did a great job. He also understand English, so well, even slang and that it was so helpful for our conversations.
