Indeed it made me confused, difficult but interesting , inspired me and then I found very optimistic, meaningful, confident, ambitious in my job.

Dear Anh,

Here are some photos from our trip to "perfume pagoda", 3 weeks ago. Remeber, I am Pierre, the boy with a black tee-shirt on the photos (you made the photos !!). It was a very nice day, and you were the best guide possible, smiling, friendly, interesting. I keep a very good memory of you and like you very much.

I was back home in France 3 days ago, and the weather was very cold (-17°C) with snow. Before leaving Viet nam, we were in Hoi An, and the temperature was + 30° !! For you 2 photos of snow taken yesterday near my home, in the mountain.

Today I am at work, and I received your E-mail. Thank you for it.My job is doctor in a big hospital, a very interesting job but today I am tired because of the difference of hours between France and Viet Nam, and because I work today during 24 hours !

I hope we can chat many times you and me.

If one day you want to come in France, just buy a plane ticket, and I will do the guide for you !! I live in the center of France, in Saint Etienne, a town from which you can visit all known places in France. No need for you to go in a hotel ot to hire a car, you can come to my home if you like and stay as long as you want.

My name : Pierre LAFOND
My address : Le Fraisse haut, 43590 BEAUZAC, FRANCE
My personnal phone if you call from Viet Nam (be careful : very expensive

I hope I will be one day a guide for you to visit France.

Good bye, my friend Anh

Hi Anh,

Do you remember us? We are from Singapore , eight of us, with our grand aunt who can speak Tieng Viet. Thanks for taking us on our trip in Hanoi .

We enjoyed your company. We went to Saigon, spent four days there and came back to Singapore on 2 December. At Saigon

We went to Mekong Delta and My Tho province, and also went to see the Cuchi Tunnels. I enjoyed Vietnam . Here is one photo we took of you explaining to us about the Literature Temple during the city tour and dancing of Mai Chau village. Wishing you an early Merry Christmas!

Xin cam on.

It was a pleasure for my boss Mr. Masso to meet you during his last trip to Vietnam. Thanks a lot for your job done there.

Now I'm writing you because he has told me you visited together a factory or company of pot holders. You agreed to give him more information about it. Do you remember???

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi, Anh

We would like to express our thanks for taking care of us during our trip there. Although the local tour guide from another company had not been professional in handling our trip, we appreciate your help to make up for it. We enjoyed your company.

If I have friends going to Hanoi or vietnam, I will recommend your company. As we have different culture, it is better that you check with future tourists their dinner requirements (eg we usually have dinner early at 6pm; Some Singaporeans have dinner late: ).

Thanks & best regards
Thomas

Dear Mr Anh,

First and foremost thank you for arranging the tour for my families and friend to Ha Long Bay. We did have an awesome time in Ha Long Bay. I have friends coming from New Zealand in October and I will call you to book for me. In November I also have another group of friends coming.

Kayaking and Swimming was one of the highlight. The boat we had was ok ut a bit old and if you can book a better boat will be great. Any way we did have a great time. Please do keep in touch and may be we can also work together in future to promote your products and my products.

Kind regards,

We had a wonderful day on our trip to Halong Bay with your company, the boat was lovely & clean, the lunch excellent, and the scenery spectacular.

Everything was perfect & we were very well looked after by Anh.

Hello Anh,

We are now sitting at Ha Noi airport awaiting for our outbound flight. We want to thank you for all efforts to make our visit to Vietnam-Cambodia as pleasant as possible. Everything went well in Cambodia, - you have very good partners in there, and everything was good in Saigon as well.

The only thing is that the tour we were supposed to take returns to the city at 18.15, not at 17:30, so I think we would not make it even with our original flight at 19:30. With JetStar changing our outbound flight to 18:30 it was clearly not possible to take it at all. Well, that means we have to visit Vietnam again to explore this missed and other sites. So, we spent our day today just wondering around.

Once again, thank you and your team (Dung) very much.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Oleg and Tatiana

Dear Kieu Cong Anh,

We recently returned from a 2 week trip to SE Asia. We made a stop in your travel shop as we got a referral from a couple who also used your services. We wanted to thank you for your service. You booked flights from Hanoi to Laos for us as well as the Halong Bay excursion.

You ensured we made our flight to Laos as well by personally meeting us in the streets of Hanoi to ensure we made our flight!

We would highly recommend your shop. We are 2 well traveled 40 year old couple, and were very pleased with your service, prices and quality.

Thank you again.

Best Wishes to a properous business!

Hi Anh,

Yes it was a wonderful day and such a great opportunity to get out of the city and see the glorious countryside which otherwise we would have missed. Being our very first day in Vietnam travelling to Cuc Phong with you created a lasting impression and a great sense of anticipation for our stay in Vietnam. Your personal knowledge of your history, the region we were travelling in and your country gave us a local perspective and a greater appreciation of Vietnam. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Hanoi. From when you collected us from our hotel we just knew we were going to be in for a great day. The trip up to cuc Phong was an adventure in itself especially travelling in airconditioned comfort with such an experienced driver who managed to negotiate the seemingly chaotic Hanoi traffic with ease.

The National Park itself is a sanctuary and whilst the walk to the 1000 year old tree was challenging, it was worth the effort and did help to build my appetite for the delicious lunch in such a picturesque setting. We were so inspired by the multinational effort to rescue the magnificent primates who would otherwise be lost, and we were amazed at the incredible variety of primates housed in the rescue centre. The babies who have been born in the centre were totally adorable.

Our entire holiday in Vietnam was very enjoyable we had a great time. After we left Hanoi we flew to Danang and then stayed in Hoi An which was just beautiful and very relaxing. One of the great things we did there was an off road motor bike full day tour as well as a day at Cham Island. I will most certainly be returning to Vietnam again and have already recommended your trip to a number of people we met along the way. I will do the review for trip advisor as well. Again thank you for a wonderful introduction to Vietnam and for being such a charming and hospitable host on our very first day.

Regards

Susan

Dear Mr. Dzung,

My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc and Bai Dinh pagoda. Specially our tour guide Mr. Anh was wonderful! With his strong command in English and his knowledge of the sites, he offered us more than a tour but the history and the culture of Vietnnam.

The tour can be better if there will be more nicer and cleaner restaurants to choose from. We understand that at the present time this restaurant was the best you could offered to us. But next time you should choose a cleaner restaurant for our lunch buffet ( with no flies flying around and a clean toilet.)
Thank you again for a good tour. We surely will book with your company whenever we are in Hanoi. We like to visit Bai Dinh when it is all finished (the view will be fantastic!)and we like to go to Sapa next time.
Best regards to you and your staffs,

Mrs. Vo

Dear Dzung,

My apologies for getting back to you so late but we have repatriated back to Massachusetts, U.S.A. in the summer. First of all, we wrote an exceptional review on Trip Advisor regarding your company and the itinerary you planned for my family in Vietnam and our pictures on the computer reminds us of this beautiful trip every day. We would recommend your services any time.

My good friend, Linda Whitney, who resides in Singapore, will be contacting you about setting a trip to Vietnam for her family. Linda's family consist of five people as well. One of her sons does have dietary restrictions which I am sure she will inform you. If you would like to send her information on your private tours to Vietnam, please forward via email to slmeowhitney@sbcglobal.net as soon as possible. Linda is receiving a copy of this email for her reference as well as an introduction to you.

I hope all is fine with you, the company and your partners and if you ever have an opportunity to visit Massachusetts, please let us know.

Best regards,

Flor and Ray
