The comments and letters from just a few of Viet’s clients speak more of him and his level of service:

 

Viet is a tour guide extraordinaire. I have referred many friends and colleagues to him since my first tour in Vietnam over 6 years ago. Everyone returns absolutely delighted.

 

He is extremely bright, educated, engaging and speaks perfect English. He is passionate and professional about his work and is excellent in providing customized tours of all types. His quick read of visitors once they arrive ensures that his clients are always pleased.

 

I have known Viet for many years, have met his entire family, and spent considerable time with him, his darling wife and two young sons. There are not many people whose honesty, integrity and competence I would vouch for as confidently as I do for Viet.

Viet did everything for us. All we had to do was enjoy the trip. He knows the countryside as well as the cities. We spent three weeks with him and can’t wait to return.

Viet,

  

I want to thank for you for organizing a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. As you know, I had never traveled in Asia before, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I read all the tour books and the travelogues, but nothing prepared me for the unexpected surprises on my trip to Vietnam and Laos that made the trip so very special.

 

 The variety, freshness and beautiful display of food in the open air markets, made the thought of going home to “modern” over-refrigerated, artificially lit, pre-packaged socalled supermarkets, sot unappealing.. In Vietnam, you met and were connected to the people growing the food that you would eat that evening.

  

What was surprising about the cities was how safe I felt. There were very few police, except those that helped tourists cross the busy streets, it didn’t seem as though there was a need for them.

 

 At the top of my list though were the visits to the remote ethnic villages. To see the simplicity of life there, where children played (not with computer games) and adults watched (not TV) and talked and visitors who looked and dressed and lived so differently were welcomed with warm smiles and laughter, really made me appreciate the important points of life. I went home with a completely different perspective. Travel with you, for me, was life changing. I can’t wait to go back for more.

A Return to Vietnam

 

A desire to return to Vietnam in the early 90’s for me culminated in 1998. I met my new friend Viet. He was our guide, interrupter and friend. Viet scheduled every memorable moment. We had great hotel accommodations to excellent restaurants. The Vans that transported us were new, dependable and on time. Over the 10 days of my tour I can’t say we had one delay or problem. Viet has a great understanding of the English language. He has infinite knowledge of the history of his country. I plan to return again in the next few years to share the experience with my wife. I will again have Viet as our guide and would recommend him to anyone that needs his services. Give him a good tip, as he is a family man.

Educational Trips

 

For over 10 years I have traveled to Vietnam with groups of secondary students. On each of these visits Viet has been our guide. Moreover I have always requested that Viet be the guide for our study tours. I have never hesitated recommending Viet to my friends who travel to Vietnam. They have always been very pleased with Viet’s services.

 

Viet has many qualities which single him out as an exceptional tour guide. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and he is able to impart this knowledge with ease and interest. He is disciplined and organized, always thinking ahead. He is flexible and can always deviate from the itinerary if something more interesting turns up. Above all he is liked by everyone in the group. Viet has a warm and engaging personality.

 

It is not surprising that Viet has guided some famous personalities around Vietnam, including Robert de Niro. His clients have included many American vets. Viet has visited America and Thailand. He understands the needs and thinking of western visitors and is always honest in his portrayal of the past.

 

Our international students warm to Viet. He understands the needs and interests of young people. At the end of each visit to Vietnam they write an evaluation of the tour. Viet, the guide, is always rated 10 out of 10.

If you want to see the beautiful and absorbing country of Vietnam there is no better traveling companion that Viet. I enthusiastically recommend him to all travelers to this

fascinating land.
