“…our family of 4 had an amazing holiday in Vietnam thanks to the organization of Ha Nguyen. My wife emailed with a rough idea of what we would like to do. After some back and forth emailing, Ha, prepared a detailed itinerary for us, arranged as a private tour to meet our wishes. The guides were all fantastic with good english and knowledge of the local area. we were met at the airport after every flight or hotel to go to the airport and our drivers were also very good. The people have been very friendly and helpful. Our trip included a tour of the most beautiful places in Vietnam & Cambodia. We highly recommend Camellia Tours Vietnam and Ha Nguyen for their outstanding service and have no hesitation in using them again…..”
