My friend and travelling companion found Viland travel on the Internet and made contact with one of the agents there by the name of Sarah Pham. We had a wonderful itinerary, that suited what I wanted from this trip, my first to Vietnam.
We are nature lovers and Sarah helped us find places that would suit our interests.
She sent us to Mai Chau where we stayed in a homestay with a wonderful woman who took us trekking to Kho Muong village which nestles in a breathtaking valley. We walked through the rain forest back to Pho Doan.
Mu Cang Chai was also included in our itinerary-a place that not many tourists go to but absolutely worth a visit with outstanding scenery.
We drove through Ha Giang on our way to Dong Van, another area definitely worth visiting with scenery that simply took our breath away.
Ba Be Lake was also on our itinerary, another definite place worth a visit, staying in a homestay that was more like a 4 star hotel.
Ban Gioc waterfalls were also included and are worth a visit.
One of the highlights of our trip was Ha Long Bay where we spent a night on a beautiful ship.
It is difficult to say which place was the most beautiful because all the places we went to, with the help of Sarah, were magnificent.
She made sure that we were constantly being well taken care of, with good guides and caring people. It was amazing how well everything went. Every day was well planned and, no matter how far we were from Hanoi, we felt that Sarah was there, taking care of all our needs. Sarah was in charge of all our movements, guides, transport, meals. She made our trip! Thank you Sarah and thank you Viland travel.
I loved Vietnam and hope to visit again.
