This was our first experience in south east Asia. Doris prepared a wonderful itinerary for us. After inquiring our travel dates and interests, she designed a detailed and comprehensive plan for our trip encompassing everything we asked for and more good stuff. she was very meticulous in the design and was open to making changes at our request. The overall experience exceeded our expectation. In addition, she guided us through every step and carefully monitored all reservations and deadlines to ensure a perfect trip which it was.
She coordinated the tours, guides, drivers, hotels and flights to our liking and made changes when we asked. she helped with a couple restaurant reservations. she responded to our inquiries with no delays. she was also very personable and friendly which made the interaction that much more pleasant. I give Doris the highest remarks and recommendation as a travel consultant.

We had good guides in Bangkok, Central and South Vietnam . all showed enthusiasm and willingness to give us the best experience. Our guide in Ho CHi Minh city, Mr. Hung Ha was exceptional. The 3 guides in Hoi An city who covered different aspects of our stay were very good , friendly and enthusiastic. I would have all these guides again .

we had memorable moments in every place we visited. Hoi An stands out as well as the nature in Mai Chau and the trip to Mekong Delta. The ending at Phu Quoc island was so lovely ( this was Doris's idea and plan) that we could have stayed there two more days. so perhaps next time. we will not forget the time we spent there

Sincerely,
