    Amazing, good job!
    From start to finish this was a joy. The homestays were amazing. Food all the way through was superb. I cannot rate this trip highly enough as a way of getting up close and personal with all these locations. Last but certainly not least was our guide. His knowledge on Vietnamese (and Asian) history and culture is extensive and second to none and made every stunning location also come to life in a historical sense. He was great fun and a credit to the company. Highlight of our 3 week trip to Vietnam. Thanks team and IZITOUR company
