We did not have much time to Vietnam, so we asked support from Vietnamdrive. They replied us with clear details, and planned a tour from Hanoi to Hoi An. It’s lucky when we were on a private tour eventhough we did not mind to join with other guests. All food we tasted were wonderful. We would like to send the big thanks to our guide in Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An, and all Mr Ho who ranged our great holidays. We will recommend your services to our relatives. -:)
