Dear Vidotour,
I would like to draw your attention to two wonderful guides who work for you at Vidotour. In Hanoi we were looked after by Tu and in Ho Chi Minh City by Quang. Both guides were marvellous. We learnt so much from them, not just about the history of Vietnam but they gave us a real insight into the lives of everyday Vietnamese people. They were cheerful and prompt and flexible to our needs. They also gave us excellent restaurant recommendations.
