Hi Joe
I
got yesterday praising comments from the American
clients...( The trip continued to be wonderful with
the tours of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and a tour of
Hanoi, overnight on a junk in Halong Bay and Saigon.
The travel agents and hotels that they found for us
in Cambodia and Vietnam were some of the best times
we have ever had. The guides spoke English
very well and were informative and entertaining.
We enjoyed many "off the tour" experiences". Candy &
Ron Dammon, Door County, USA “)
Very good Joe, thanks for this. Regards,
Jos |
