Hi,
I am fine and after having a wonderful time in Hanoi , reached home safe.
The tour to Halong bay was extremely good and the tour guide Spring was very informative and made the travel relaxing with his briefing about Vietnam and it's culture. The cruise and the food was good and we had no complaints.
Thanks to you and your company for doing a great job.
All the best and shall keep in touch
With best wishes
Senthil, IndiaThe trip arranged by ABVT in Hanoi on the Deluxe Phoenix Cruiser was wonderful. Everything went smoothly with excellent transportation to and from Hanoi. The Cruiser was modern with clean rooms and private bathrooms with nice hot water. Despite the heat, the air conditioner in our room worked perfectly. Food on board was also excellent (seafood). After our afternoon outing (visiting a cave, kayaking) we were treated to wine and fresh fruit prior to having a wonderful sea food dinner. The small size of the group (ca. 12 people) was also a plus, especially as some of us participated in Karaoke after dinner without being embarrassed.
Raul, Montclair, New Jersey, USAWe are still in Vietnam but unfortunately the weather is bad. The only few days that have had good weather was our boat-tour to Halong Bay. We enjoyed this tour very much because of the high standard of your boat the excellent cooking and the friendly hospitality of your staff. We will recommend your company to our friend when we are back in Germany.
