    Viaggio con bambina

    Abbiamo viaggiato per quasi due settimane attraversando tutto il Vietnam con nostro figlio di 5 anni. L’organizzazione è sempre stata perfetta sotto tutti i punti di vista: dall’assistenza di Emma e lo staff alla professionalità delle guide e la cordialità degli autisti e la puntualità dei trasferimenti. Molto equilibrata anche l’alternanza tra le visite nei posti più famosi e quindi anche più turistici e le esperienze fuori circuito, il ritmo non è lento ne' troppo frettoso. Il tutto con costi ragionevoli e trasparenti.
