Just wanted to thank you for arranging everything for our visit to your lovely country. The Hanoi Boutique Hotel was excellent, and the staff so friendly and helpful. We loved Hanoi – such a vibrant city. But best of all and partially because of the amazing boat and accommodation was our visit to Halong Bay. It was spectacular, and the boat we were on FANTASTIC. Thank you also for meeting us on the Sunday morning. Your attention to detail was much appreciated. Thank you again, and we’d love to return to your wonderful country.
I just want to say that the kayaking trip was amazing! Our tour guide was very informative and very helpful. He worked very hard to make sure we were comfortable and had a good time. I was very impressed with the service and everything that was included for what we paid. It was a great trip and I would recommend it to my friends.
Kayaking tour 2 days (February 2012)
Hi Ngoc, I’m sorry it has taken so long to write you and thank you for all the efforts in putting together a wonderful trip for Ken and me in Vietnam. Although a very long flight it was worth all the hours it takes from New York – Vietnam is both interesting and diverse. Vietnamese people are very friendly, who seem genuinely happy. For the most part, we lucked out with great weather, except in Halong Bay which I recommend people do in warmer weather especially if it is an overnight cruise, and when there is less fog. The caves were something Ken and I did hike through. We also loved going to the Mai Chau villages – a most fascinating culture. Saigon was probably our favourite city, although the architecture in the French quarter of Hanoi was beautiful, and the water puppets were entertaining.
The tour guides – each very different were excellent, Phong, Vinh and Le. They were knowledgeable, flexible and helpful in so many different ways – we are most appreciative.
Wishing you and your staff a Happy and Healthy Tet!
Vietnam holiday 12 days (January 2012)
I want to sincerely thank you for planning our Vietnam trip itinerary. We had a wonderful time in both Vietnam and Cambodia, and the guides were fantastic. For the price you charged, it was an incredible bargain. All the hotels were lovely. I especially enjoyed the Luxor in Hanoi with the beautiful balcony and the Victoria Hotel in Phan Thiet. The trip to Tam Coc was beautiful. We went on a rather cloudy day, but it worked out well. There were not a lot of people on the river, and so we felt we had it to ourselves much of the time. Watching the fishermen working in the river at close range was like being in a page of National Geographic for a day. The scenery and the karst formations were beautiful.
Our trip to Ha Long Harbour was also a unique and a “must see” experience. There are many “Chinese junks” operating there, but the one you chose for us was top of the line. It was a brand new boat and everything about it was five stars. We could not believe how beautiful the accommodations were, and the 5 course meals were totally unexpected. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. We were very lucky to have had sunny beautiful weather the entire trip so most of our time was spent outside enjoying the fantastic views and weather. The geology of the area is such that you feel you have been transported to another world!
We next flew to Hue which is a city with long and interesting history. Our tour guide, Mr Phan Van Vinh, was a walking historical encyclopaedia. We skipped the market tour and just spent the day on the Perfume River and touring the Citadel while he gave us a thorough history of Vietnam and its struggles with invading powers throughout the centuries. What a blessing he was in teaching us about the history of your nation. I can’t say enough about his incredible knowledge of Vietnam that he shared with us.
Upon arriving in Saigon, we toured the Cu Chi Tunnels in the early afternoon and got to crawl through them firsthand. The next day we toured the Mekong Delta where my husband had served his tour of duty during the war. What a change! He couldn’t even recognize the area. When he was stationed there, it was a very poor area with very small villages and much undeveloped. Now the economy is booming and people appear to be enjoying their new found prosperity. My Tho was just a collection of a few huts with half naked children running around in 1971. It is now in the midst of a building boom and a fairly large city with thriving economy and a burgeoning middle class. Motorcycles and cars everywhere!
We spent a wonderful 2 days in Phan Thiet enjoying a beautiful resort on the beach in a quiet area. It was a lovely rest break in our hectic schedule. We enjoyed watching the locals fishing in their half-round boats bobbing on the water. We also enjoyed a group of teens coming down daily to crack fresh coconuts and drink the milk while also enjoying a morning swim.
Cambodia is a must see for anyone traveling in Southeast Asia. Angkor Watt was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide in Cambodia was Mr. Han Sophan. What a kind and generous man he was. We loved every minute with him. He also was able to give us a thorough history of the temples and Cambodian history. The temples were an otherworldly experience which I wouldn’t trade for anything.
The entire trip was a blessing! I am so glad I took a chance on you, not knowing anything about you but what I had gleaned from the internet. You made the extra effort and it showed. Everything was in order and according to plan. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, the guides top-notch, and I would recommend you to anyone planning a trip to the region. In fact my daughter already made a recommendation to a woman she met in Seoul who is planning travel with her hubby to Vietnam. Again thank you so much for your fastidious attention to detail, your planning of our individual itinerary, and your personal welcome when we arrived in Hanoi. The best to you in the future!
Vietnam and Cambodia Holiday 14 day (December 2011)
4 married couples got the opportunity to challenge the North of Vietnam by bicycle. We rode our bikes for 25 days and noted 1850 kms at the end. Never had such an exciting experience. This was made possible by FUNINVIETNAM. Their advice and back-up services did make us succeed!! Many thanks to Ngoc and her team!
North West – North East Vietnam Biking tour 30 days (November, 2011)
Firstly, the experience was terrific. The guide and driver were superb. They did a great job balancing a three generation group of travelers – a variety of ages and interests and all were happy. I only have one thing I might suggest. If others are traveling to the Chu Lai area, they may be interested in staying in one of the beach resorts coming up. My dad was really excited to see that and if they were up and running he would have loved to stay there. It may be something to consider in the future. In fact, he mentioned that he may be interested in returning just to spend some time there.
The trip itself was well planned and seemed to be planned with just the right amount of activity and down time so that we weren’t over tired at the end of any day. Well done. Thanks so much.
Chu Lai tour (July 2011)
Thank you for your email and yes we did arrive home safely after a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday in Laos. What a great country to visit and thanks to our tour organized by your company we got to experience many of its historical sites, beautiful countryside and met some very warm and welcoming Lao people.
Our thanks to the various guides we had during the tour. In particular we were grateful for their flexibility in organizing alternate sites and activities due to the wet season impacting on some of the planned activities.
Also we would like to thank you for dealing with the change in our accommodation in Vang Vieng due to the flooding of the Mekong River, at no extra charge to us. We were very grateful for your assistance.
We especially would like to thank our guide from Pakse, Mr Toukay. He went out of his way to give us a wonderful Lao experience.
Again thank you to yourself and your company for organizing a great holiday. We will definitely be recommending your services to our friends.
Lao tour 10 days (June 2011)
I came across More Fun Travel’s website by chance and have no regrets since. Ngoc is truly a remarkable tour adviser. I had my tour itinerary revised 10 times (13 days HCMC – HoiAn – Hue – Hanoi) prior to the trip and I have never met an adviser with so much patience and professionalism. Her feedback was speedy too. I am really impressed with her. She organized for us a private group of 4 for the ground tour in HCMC and Hanoi and her recommendations on hotels were really good and her English speaking guides were very knowledgeable in their respective fields. The transports provided were comfortable too.
HCMC is really amazing with the amount of motorbikes! Thanks, to Le (our tourist guide) who taught us how to cross the road. Don’t stop midway, just continue walking and the bikes will know how to avoid you. Cool yeah? If not for him, we would never get to Ben Thanh Market across the street from our hotel (Lavender Hotel). We enjoyed the Mekong Delta boat ride especially on the sampan (wooden boat paddle by oar). The water was so murky and still as we cruise along the mangroves that you can’t help imagine a crocodile swimming silently out from the mangroves and cruise alongside with you. 🙂
Hanoi is less chaotic than HCMC, what a relief. Ngoc recommended us Calypso Hotel which is located in the Old Quarter. We really like the boutique hotel which was clean and the service was good. Our tour guide is also named Ngoc, what a coincidence! Thanks, to Ngoc we had a wonderful tour of Halong Bay. The day before our tour it was reported in the local newspaper that strong wind is expected in Halong Bay but Ngoc told us it was okay to proceed and we went ahead. True enough, the bay was calm and we had a wonderful cruise with a nice seafood lunch on board organized by Ngoc (tour adviser) who chartered the whole boat for the 4 of us, make us feel so privileged. 🙂
We had a memorable trip in Vietnam, not only the places of visits proposed by More Fun Travel but also the food. Thanks to Ngoc’s personal attention to our itinerary. We will be back to More Fun Travel for our next destination to Cambodia. Book with More Fun Travel – the No. 1 tour operator with a personal touch. Thanks, Ngoc for the follow up courtesy call when we were in HCMC and Hanoi and the corporate gift with More Fun Travel embroidered on it. Cheers to More Fun Travel!
Vietnam holiday 13 days (June 2011)
We were very pleased with our trip organized by Ngoc and her outstanding staff. We had a wonderful time traveling for two weeks throughout the country. The guides and drivers were outstanding. They were punctual, professional and very friendly and knowledgeable. Every aspect of our trip was carried out with precision. Our trip was custom designed by Ngoc and turned out to be everything we wanted and more. The hotels were excellent and reasonably priced, the restaurants were all first class and the sites were breathtaking. We heartily recommend More Fun Travel for anyone contemplating a visit to Vietnam.
Vietnam Holiday (February 2012)
Congratulations to you and your company for a faultless itinerary and organisation. We wanted to do a trip to Central and northern Vietnam and needed to personalise our itinerary to visit numerous places and adventures in a limited time frame.
After giving Ngoc our wish list via email she was always prompt (usually immediate) in responding to our requests. It took us just 4 draft itinerary’s to lock in our travel plans that fitted my initial ideas.
Everything worked like clockwork yet the guides all knew it was our trip and gave us the freedom to do whatever we liked..within reason of course!
Sometimes when booking with overseas operators there can be some nerves in relation to the security of monies and operators that come and go, I feel comfortable recommending this company.
A special mention to Son who was our guide in Sapa, he really made us feel part of his community, well done.
