A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite.
AVT customized a tour for our friends and family ranging from ages 7-72. We only had a short amount of time in Vietnam, but we were able to see many things! Our tour guide was kind, knowledgeable, and adjusted things on the fly when we asked for a couple of last minute changes. Our hotels, buses, activities were all very fancy. I would highly recommend this company if you are planning a trip to Vietnam. The only thing I regret is that we didn’t have more time
On this tour, I was able to delve deeply into the culture and widen my knowledge significantly. Everything is fantastic, with the exception of the Cai Rang Floating Market (due to my seasickness), but okay it isn’t a major issue.
Amazing Vietnam, loved this tour so much and highly recommend AVT Travel!
Thank you.
