Vietnam Luxury Tours

Dear Minh:

Just a note to thank you for all the choices and arrangements you made to make our visit to Cambodia & Vietnam so successful.

First of all, our guides in Cambodia & Ho Chi Minh City were both excellent, & we learnt a lot form them, both about the culture & the history of both countries.

Secondly, with regard to the hotels, we were most impressed with the Angkor Victoria - one of the best hotels at which we've stayed in our travels over the years, & the Duxton was fine.

Third, the itinerary suited our interests very well &, finally, the arrangements & transport were excellent.

Thank you very much - we would be happy to recommend Exotissimo to others.

Vietnam and Camboda Tour - September 2009

One of the great aspects about my job is that each summer I have the opportunity of going on research trips to discover and learn about new travel destinations.  I really love to travel around Vietnam and am always amazed by the fascinating culture my beautiful country has to offer.

My last trip took me to the Mekong Delta where I witnessed a local lady rowing a small sampan boat while wearing a traditional "Ao ba ba" outfit.  I was so impressed by the image of her graceful beauty, and the local Mekong Delta shirt she was wearing as it was the most charming costume I had ever seen in the region.  In fact, I liked it so much that when I returned to Ho Chi Minh City, I decided to have one tailor-made for myself and now I really love wearing it with a pair of jeans when I go out with my friends!

So naturally, I am now really looking forward to my next Mekong trip so that I can enjoy more of it's inspiring cultural beauty... and maybe make some more fashionable local-style clothing!

Sally,

Happy New Year!

Deborah left for USA today and Vi and I will carry the torch. Just arrived in Cambodia, Raffles Hotel is wonderful.

Feels like we have fallen down the rabbit's hole in Alice in Wonderland. MAGICAL Journey!

Part of the magical journey was meeting Daniel Hoyer (our wonderful cooking guide in Hanoi). Daniel was wonderful and we experienced a day that we would have not had otherwise. We loved sitting on our little milking stools and eating food cooked by families on the bottom floors of their homes. Luckily we are an adventurous gaggle of women who wanted it ALL! He was thrilled that we were fearless eaters.

Ms. Dobbs comments "Daniel Hoyer bridged the gap between Americans and Vietnamese".

Our guide Nam had a huge smile on his face while Daniel explained about Hanoi food and culture, you could tell that Nam was happy with Daniel's passion for his heritage.

Daniel was thrilled that Vi spoke Vietnamese and they had great conversations. Will forward cute photos of our culinary morning upon returning home.

We loved the market, the one photo which I'm sorry I didn't take was the cooked dog with his teeth bared, he fought to the end!

What a wonderful gift Lee and we give Daniel Hoyer TWO THUMBS UP! Our only complaint was it was only 1/2 a day and we were too full. As Auntie Mame says "Life's A Banquet!

Also we had a wonderful dinner with your lovely associate at Mandarin, great food and company. Ms. Thuy speaks beautiful and very proper English, made us girls from Texas sound like hicks.

It's a good life,

Jennie & Vi
