Which Country (Countries) did you visit on this trip?

Vietnam

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip to Vietnam was spectacular - one of the best trips we've ever taken! From the moment we were met at the airport in Hanoi, the trip went smoothly - our guides in both Hanoi and HCMCity were friendly but absolutely professional. They were always available to shepherd us through exhibits, meals and whatever else we were doing. Each stop was meticulously planned within the outline of what I had requested from our travel specialist. There were never any moments when we questioned a site or decision up to and including meals and hotels.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We most enjoyed the more unusual aspects of the trip. One night we had dinner at a local home in Hanoi and learned to make spring rolls. Another trip in HCMCity we visited a family and learned to make jackfruit cakes with them. The personal feature of this tour was so wonderful. We loved staying in the Mekong Delta at an unusual hotel which felt like staying in the jungle. From there we traveled on the back of motor bikes. Everything that was off the beaten track, made this trip so memorable and special

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We cannot think of anything we would do differently - possibly we would have liked to visit Bat Trang which is their ceramics center. Also, we found two venues for entertainment - the water puppet show in Hanoi and the local show in HCMCity @the Opera that were not suggested to us by our guide or in our itinerary. We would have liked to have recommendations for restaurants in the area of our hotel where meals were not included rather than try to research them ourselves.
