All local guides and drivers did a wonderful job. They work out of their way to help us. Especial Mr. Vibol in Siem Reap and Mr. Cuong in Hanoi were very accommodating.

Hotel Reviews
Shinta Mani Angkor
Siem Reap

I would give it a 5 star if it has an elevator. The floor was not very smooth and easily tripped if not paying attention. The shower door is not enclosed and it’s easily get the whole bathroom wet. We had issues with the air condition, but the problem was fixed pretty fast.

Given that it does not have an elevator and the bathroom door needs to be replaced.
Almanity Hoi An Wellness Resort
Hoi An

This is the worse hotel of the whole trip. The rooms we got were at the very end of the building. They were a bit outdated and with the construction next door, and the dust around, we are happy.

Tam Coc Garden Resort
Ninh Binh

This place has a lot of characters. It’s a retreat and we love to spend more time here. The only thing missing is outlets by the coffee/tea makers. It’s a little inconvenience, but we worked with it.

It was good that we can see the Mekong river and the delta area, good experience visiting someone’s home and eat a home cooked meal. Visiting to the orphanage was wonderful and the small temple and the wet market we all enjoyed.

Dinner takes way too long, food was not what we expected. We wanted upscale Vietnamese food, that are simple and healthy. We didn’t choose this restaurant, we went because KimKim recommended this and we thought was included in our tour. The schedule says on the last day, breakfast and dinner were included, but we had to pay for this dinner, which was too expensive and the kind of food we did not enjoy. The table next to us were loud, the music the played was not songs from the 90’s. No class!

I do not understand why we had this. It was good that we didn’t have to stand in line and got out of the airport in no time.

Driver was very attentive. Besides cold water and cold wet towels, he cleans the van every time we were sight seeing.
