To Americans, "first impression" is the core of any conversations, business relationships and imprinted memories. Our "first impression" with Asia_Life_travel company can be summed up to one word "IMPRESSIVE". Not only did the company provide us a thorough plan as soon as we contacted them and expressed what we were looking for in our first trip to Vietnam, but they also provided a detailed description of the activities for all the places that we visited. We booked a private tour for 3 weeks, from the Northern region "Hanoi" to the Central region "Hue" and ended up in the Southern region "Ho Chi Minh, city". We have 3 different groups of tour guide and driver for each separate region, and they all spoke fluent English. Tour guides were very knowledgeable about the history of each landmark place. They always gave us the "do's and don'ts" prior to visiting the landmarks. They carefully checked with us on our allergy and introduced us to the delicious food that we could safely eat. Each hotel we stayed in (including the sleeping quarter on the Ha-Long Bay's cruise ship), displayed a rich culture of Vietnam from their interior decorations to the food that they served. The services were excellent; you could feel that they served with pride and care. Vietnam is not a rich country, but its citizens are not lack of caring, honesty and the country pride that the local Vietnamese displayed on every encounter with tourists. Asia_life_travel company had given us a variety of experience from riding on a motorbike to cruising along the Ha Long Bay, riding on a Caple car visiting Fansipan, and riding on a small boat visiting different beautiful caves, Mekong River. There are still much more landmarks to see in Vietnam that we can't wait to work with Asia_Life_travel company for our next adventure.
