Trip #2 a success!
This is the second tour I’ve done in SE Asia, with the help of my tour consultant, Max Yang. Max crafted the perfect itinerary to meet my needs, starting in Hanoi, and working my way south to see Hue, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, and Phu Quoc. As was the case last time, the hotels, guides, and drivers were great! It was a seamless experience starting in Hanoi with my guide, Kien, and our driver Chi. Kien was knowledgeable, clear, and so friendly. I learned so much while on tour with him, visiting the Old Quarter, Temple of Literature, and Ho Chi Minh mausoleum among other sites. He was even willing to make a special stop so I could see train street. He gave great recommendations for free time and I enjoyed my time with him! I would recommend anyone take a tour with him and Chi who drove smoothly and safely throughout the city and beyond. In Hue, I was taken care of by Thai and Son, both of whom were great! Thai had so much knowledge about the imperial city of Hue and even bought some fish food for me to feed the koi which was so nice! The tomb of Khai Dinh and the Forbidden city were highlights for me though Hoi An stole my heart! Touring around the city to see the Assembly Halls, Ancient Homes, and covered bridge was fun, but it was the evening I loved the most. The Hoi An memories show the guide suggested was really nice and so was the lantern boat ride. I even got to try Mot thanks to them! The team at La Siesta by the lake in Hanoi was great and Lasenta in Hoi A could not have been better. I appreciate all the hard work they each put in to driving me safely, always picking me up on time, and going the extra mile each chance they got. It’s exactly why I’ll travel again with Odynovo!
