“…We decided for Camellia Tours Vietnam based in other positive reviews and I have to say that they met our expectations perfectly. We had just 8 days to expend and didn’t had any problem in customizing our trip the way we found better. The cars that they provide were very comfortable, the guides very kind and the hotels over expectations. We just have to thank and I’ll certainly recommend to anyone!…”
