Hello
I’m sorry for the delay in replying to you but the time needed to get us back up and running is making the days pass quickly.
I would like to thank you for the perfect execution of your services. We were delighted with this trip. We can’t wait to come back to your fabulous country.
I will post on the backpacker forum my positive impressions of your country and your services, which were as good as promised.
The questionnaire you sent does not have the possibility to write directly on it. So I’ll take up the points in this mail:
1, The programme was perfectly respected, with some adjustments in the order of the programme provided. Personally, this did not bother me at all, but some people in our group made remarks about this fact. We have to understand their reaction because back in France, they were going to use the programme from the start to find our photos and write about our trip. I think that the arrangements were a small inconvenience that could easily be overcome.
The evaluation of the tour was very positive. The only remark to make is that some places are too crowded with tourists.
2, The hotels were perfectly correct and correspond to the price range we wanted to pay. The only drawback is that in HOI AN the hotel did not have a lift and the stairs with our suitcases were not easy.
3, Following our program :
The guide at SAPA was charming and took care of us very well. He took care of changing our room when we could have been satisfied with the one we had.
In Hanoi, we had good contact. He may lack a little experience to be contracted with tourists but with experience, it will come.
In Hoi An the guide was unpleasant. He could not manage the time needed for the different activities. Either we were in a hurry or we were waiting. In addition, he often made remarks about the French occupation. We were on holiday and we are not responsible for the past. I found this frequent reminder unpleasant.
For the Mekong, we had a very, very nice person. She gave us a lot of explanations and was full of concern. We will keep a very good memory of Ahn (excuse the spelling)
4, Concerning the transport at the beginning on sapa, Hanoi and Hoi An, we had old vehicles with deficient air-conditioning. For the Mekong, the bus was very good without any reproach. It is necessary to specify that in spite of difficulties with languages all the drivers were pleasant.
I think I have answered all your questions.
We were very happy with our tour. I think I have answered all your questions. We were very happy with our tour and I am planning to do Cambodia and Laos next year, of course, I would ask you to give me an estimate.
