<i>Dear Candy,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are now home and feeling well refreshed from our wonderful holiday in Vietnam. Thank you for the really great work you did organising and coordinating our holiday. It really was one of our best holidays ever and we can t thank you enough for all you and our lovely guides did to give us such a great time. It was the perfect balance of activity and relaxation, travelling and staying in one place, time to ourselves and time with others. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just perfect. You really did a fantastic job and we are so grateful that we used you and Active Travel to put our holiday together. We have already been recommending you to friends and family her in Perth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More specifically, we thought you might like some specific feedback on the things we were particularly impressed by and maybe a few things that perhaps could be improved slightly (these are very few as 90%of the trip was outstanding).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We especially loved:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The Medallion Hotel in the old quarter- a very high quality hotel with excellent, caring staff and so well located for exploring Hanoi and the Old Quarter ( we would definitely stay there again), -The City tour the first day was a fantastic introduction to Vietnam and Hanoi, -The lunch the first day in the restaurant was really lovely, -The coffee in the little old quarter cafe with other guides was great fun and helped us feel like a Vietnamese person and not a tourist !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- the water puppets were well worth seeing,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- we were very impressed Candy that you personally came to meet us in our</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
hotel- a lovely touch,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The train to Sapa was remarkably comfortable and we loved the experience,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- the hotel in Sapa was excellent and we would happily stay there again, -Walking in Sapa and the surrounds was a real highlight,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Our porters and guide up and down Mt Fansipan did a brilliant job and also cooked some delicious meals,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- having the rooms to shower, rest and have breakfast in at La Rosa was fantastic and so well organised, -Halong Bay was outstanding and even more beautiful than we thought it would be, -The accommodation on the Junk was very comfortable and we thought the cabins were really beautiful, -Extending our stay in the area with extended days kayaking and visiting Cat BA island was one of the best parts of our whole trip. We would highly recommend it to other tourists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-The kayaks were excellent quality and the places we were taken to kayak were very well chosen as we really felt well away from many tourist groups, -The bikes we used for cycling were excellent and top quality, -Home stays were fantastic and having two very different home stays was a great experience, as the more basic first one gave us a chance to really see how the locals lived and the second one was lovely and luxurious in a pretty valley, near Mai Chau</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- the food throughout our trip was amazingly good and of a very high standard ( except for breakfast in Ninh Binh...see below) -Our bus drivers were excellent and drove very safely and well, -Our three guides all were very informative and went out of their way to give us a perfect holiday. They were all excellent however, we would particularly like to commend Hoa, our last guide who well and truly gave 110% service to us and also combined it with excellent English, a great sense of humour and outstanding care for us all right to the end of our trip. He is a truly magnificent guide and we feel very lucky to have enjoyed his services for so many days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are just a few suggestions of things that could perhaps be improved:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Before future tourists book to climb Mt Fansipan, I think it would be helpful to warn them that a cable car is currently being built and therefore it is a bit of building site in places on the mountain and not very picturesque near the top. There are also periodic explosions heard on the mountain and lots of workers working there so it is not as peaceful as a usual mountain climb.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Also, I think future tourists should be warned that the hut/ accomodation where one sleeps on the mountain is very basic, very noisy and the toilets are very dirty and unhygienic ( as they do not seem to be cleaned regularly and were filthy)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- The hotel in Ninh Binh, was our least favourite as it had little atmosphere ( more like a bed factory!) and the breakfast included stale bread, cold cooked food and sickly fruit drinks ( not juices). Our son also subsequently got food poisoning from eating an egg at breakfast there on our last day. Fortunately, he has fully recovered now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In conclusion, we had a brilliant holiday and definitely want to return to Vietnam again and will be very pleased to use Active Travel again for our next trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many thanks to you and all your staff.</div>

Hi Candy, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had two great days of cycling with Mr. Siya. He met us promptly in the morning and we had two busy days! Our first day included visiting Angkor Wat and two other temples. The cycling was really interesting through the forest, on paths, on the Angkor Wat temple wall and roads. We had a nice lunch at a local restaurant and healthy snacks along the route.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today we went out in the country side and cycled on secondary roads. Our tour included end a boat ride to a floating village. We enjoyed the opportunity to see the 'real' Cambodia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were well taken care of and enjoyed our tour. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks for all of your help with organizing the tour and making it happen!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy New Year!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks, </div>

Everything ran very smoothly and professionally...even when
inclement weather delayed our 3 day Halong Bay Cruise by one day, our itinerary
was swiftly re-organised so we didn't miss a thing (we actually got to see the
amazing Ninh Binh as a bonus). Our Hanoi based guide Bac (Buck to us) was
excellent, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic while our guide in Sapa (Hiep)
was also very knowledgeable as well as funny and entertaining. Our travel
consultant Candy rang several times during our trip to make sure everything was
going OK. I highly recommend this company to anyone wishing to undertake a tour
(private or otherwise) of this amazing country." </span><br />

Very well
organised tour by Candy and she was very quick to rectify problems when they
occurred. Great response by guides, driver and Candy to bicycle
accident. Lap was very popular with the whole group and never failed to
be helpful even when very tired or unwell. <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dear Candy,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I would like to send you big thanks that you take care of my
questions, problems and booking since last August. From the first inquiry,
until the tour everything was handled in a very professional manner and to my
fullest satisfaction. You surprise me one more time, as you are the first
travel agent who call me after the tour to ask, if everything was ok.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Even the tour themselves was handled very professionally
from our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Mr. Thang. He led us together
with our always helpful and smiling porters through the jungle of Phong Nha-Ke
Bang National Park. The <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/tour.php" target="_blank">trekking</a> with its breaks was quite comfortable and in
the same time stunning. Once we reached En Cave our crews set up the tent and
make us feel like home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the next day we make our way to <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/tour.php?op=detail&tourId=71" target="_blank">Son Doong Cave</a> together
with Mr. Thang, Mr. Ho-Khanh and two supporters. It was a unique and
unforgettable experience for my wife and me, which we are still talking about. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On the next morning we start our hike back to the meeting point
where our driver picked us up. Everything was perfectly timed and we never had
the feeling that anything run out of control.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We are looking forward to try another tour with ActiveTravel
Asia; maybe you can recommend me one ;)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Best Regards</div>

We are very happy with the service that <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/" target="_blank">ACTIVETRAVEL ASIA</a> provided. Our consultant, Candy, listened to our goals and provided a comprehensive program that achieved our travel goals. In addition, Candy was very prompt, courteous, and professional in all of the replies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We enjoyed Hanoi and North Vietnam the most because we were able to see the day-to-day routines of Vietnamese people. Trekking near Sapa was peaceful, homestays were very interesting, Halong Bay was gorgeous, and motorbiking was fun. Quyen Vu was our favorite guide because his English was excellent, and he was very patient, happy, and professional. We also enjoyed the bicycling and boating in the Mekong Delta area.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks again for arranging such a wonderful tour!</div>

We were 100% satisfied with the trip that <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/" target="_blank">ActiveTravel Asia</a> planned for our family, our 3 guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the drivers were also very good. All the hotels were better than we expected. We booked the 12 day <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/tour.php?op=detail&tourId=27" target="_blank">family adventure tour</a> online in Australia. The walks, bike riding and kayaking were very fun and interesting and the cruise at <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/destination/vietnam/halongbay/" target="_blank">Halong Bay</a> way fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious, healthy and well prepared. ActiveTravel Asia responded to our emails promptly & phoned us a couple of times to welcome us & make sure everything was okay They were happy to change the tour itinerary slightly to suit our family needs when I booked.</div>

We planned our trip from Australia over the internet. It was
for 10 people with varying dietary needs and physical abilities. Ms Candy was
fantastic, responding to my emails promptly and leaving us in no doubt as to
how much each leg of the journey would cost and what would be provided. The
hotels were clean, spacious and comfortable and of the Vietnamese culture as we
wanted them to be. The guides were knowledgeable and caring both in <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/destination/vietnam/sapa/" target="_blank">Sapa</a> and
Halong Bay. The boat provided for our accommodation on <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/destination/vietnam/halongbay/" target="_blank">Halong Bay</a> was luxurious
and the food was stunning. The decoration of the salads and "flowers"
made out of carrots and potatoes were really something. We were taken on a
fabulous tour of Halong Bay and because we stayed a bit longer than most and
also stayed on <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/nationalparks/red_river_delta/Cat_Ba_National_Park.html" target="_blank">Cat Ba Island</a> for 2 nights, we saw quite a bit more than the
usual tourist spots. Fabulous, relaxing and at a good price. All 10 of us were
agreed that you couldn't go past <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/" target="_blank">Active Travel Asia</a> for organizing a tour
within <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/" target="_blank">Vietnam</a>.<br />

Exploring your country was everything we had hoped for and more. We saw so much in our few days travelling that it was difficult to absorb it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Special thanks go to your staff that traveled with us for being friendly and helpful every day. Mr Duc worked very hard to make sure everything was as good as it could be for us and we had so much fun together, he helped to make it a very memorable trip for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

My experience with <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/" target="_blank">ATA</a> was excellent - from the first response to my enquiry about trekking dates to the hotel booking in Hanoi to the trek itself - all was handled with professionalism and great service. The guide Anh was fantastic - so helpful and made sure that I had a good time. I found the weather on the trek to be much hotter than I expected but the landscape was beautiful and the visits to the minority villages very interesting. The Eco Lodge was beautiful and so quiet - lovely to just sit on the balcony and watch the birds and listen to the trees blowing in the breeze.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We booked the Sapa Long Trek with <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/tour.php" target="_blank">Active Travel <st1:country-region w:st="on">Vietnam</st1:country-region></a> with an
additional 2 days visiting the markets at Can Cau and Bac Ha. The whole trip
was excellent and I would definitely recommend it. <o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We stayed at 4 different homestays
which were like camping barns - comfortable mattresses, clean and warm bedding,
and mosquito nets. All homestays had showers with hot water. The food was
brilliant and abundant, with non-meat options provided for my partner, and
quantities of homemade rice wine at 3 of them.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our guide, Mr Loi, was excellent
and, being from the <st1:place w:st="on">Tay</st1:place> ethnic minority group
himself, very informative about local customs and traditional.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The walking was through lovely
scenery and interesting villages, covering a good cross-section of the local
ethnic groups. The distances were definitely shorter than in the brochure - I
would guesstimate 15km maximum as opposed to the 23km advertised.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a long drive between Sapa
and Can Cau so that we arrived towards the end of the market but still in
plenty of time to people-watch. This and Bac Ha market the following day are
principally for the local themselves with only a minority of stalls selling
tourist trinkets. They are mainly used by the Flower Hmong ethnic group who are
beautifully dressed and take being photographed with a good humor.<o:p></o:p></div>

We did the 2 day tour to Halong Bay with ATA and be couldn't be happier with the result! Everything was perfectly organized, well informed, incredibly punctual. The cabins on the junk were great, the food on board was superb and it allowed us to try a great variety of local dishes. The excursions were well planned and there was always someone around to guide you if you needed it.<br />
<br />
The place is amazing and the staff accompanies the outing, so we totally recommend it!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Good Morning Ms. Candy,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We are now home and remembering our wonderful visit to Vietnam and Cambodia. The experience was so large that it will take months for us to fully understand and appreciate it all. Our guides and drivers were each unique and individual in their own way. All were professional and made us feel well cared for. Excellent choices! All of your lodging choices were comforting and offered great variety. The restaurant choices for lunch and some dinners was truly a work of art. Beautiful foods, beautiful presentations, excellent service and always different in style. The tour itineraries for the most part were complete, well thought out and well presented by our guides. In all cases, the guides remained flexible to our interests and went out of their way to make our visit special. We appreciated the very active days . . . not for lazy people! It was a very nice touch for you to remain in contact with us throughout the early parts of the trip. It establishes an elevated sense of trust between the client and agency.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Regarding recommendations, you are already doing a great job. For first time visitors like us, there is much unknown so keep trying to provide as much information as possible. Also, your major strength is the quality and thoroughness of your services. keep stressing that as well as the fact that your tours are "Tailor Made" and private . . . just you, a private guide and private driver/private boat. Individual attention is a real plus. The value in your agency is your ability to help one get the most out of their visit "worry and hassle free" at a fair price. Congratulations!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our very best regards, David and Kathy</div>Active Travel Asiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17720226021825421230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154432365574454010.post-20474779087510314892011-12-19T19:15:00.000-08:002011-12-19T19:18:03.122-08:00JIM CHOWS * 2 pax | VietnamItinerary: <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/tour.php"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tailor made tour in Vietnam</span></a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">We all really enjoyed the trip immensely. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The itinerary you put together for us was excellent and fantastic. The Trek was an incredible experience - the scenery, the ethnic minority villages, the homestays, the food (the porters Tonny had were incredible cooks!!!). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In between the Trek and the Halong Bay excursion we had more than enough time to walk through all nooks and crannies of the old quarters of Hanoi which was by itself a very enjoyable thing to do.<br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">With regards to our assigned tour guides - Tonny for our Trekking adventure, and Hai for our Hanoi and Halong Bay tours - they were both very good. In fact, I'd like to find out from you if you have Tonny's email address as we'd like to thank him directly as well. I have Hai's email address and have kept in touch with him. It's always a good sign when tourists decide to stay in touch with their guides - it says "job well done"!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I will definitely be recommending your company to people who express any interest in a trip to Vietnam. </div><div></div></div></div><div class="TA_cdswritereviewlg" id="TA_cdswritereviewlg140"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I travel a lot. As does my brother. We usually do all the planning ourselves, go somewhere adventurous, and cram a ton into what amounts to 7 days on the ground. And we always go on a budget, with an intent to book last minute land arrangements, and splurge when we see a high-end value. For our recent trip to Vietnam, we did only about half the homework we typically, do, and we left the rest, and our fate, in the hands of Miss Jessie at <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/" target="_blank">Active Travel Asia</a>. All my communications with her were by email. We outlined everything we found on the Web that we were interested in, and what we thought a fair price was (based on our research) and she did all the rest. She arranged our transportation (we asked for a private car everywhere), train rides, tour guides (private again), <a href="http://www.activetravelvietnam.com/tour.php?op=listByCategoryId&catId=8" target="_blank">motorbikes</a>, sail boat, as well as our hotel stays. And get this, when we cancelled our private driver for the second to last day, she actually insisted on coming to our hotel and returning $65 in USD to me, as a credit. We spent two nights in <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/destination/vietnam/hanoi/" target="_blank">Hanoi</a>, two nights in <a href="http://www.activetravel.asia/destination/vietnam/sapa/" target="_blank">Sapa</a>, and a night in Hulong Bay. Plus a couple nights on an over night train to Sapa. In Sapa, we had a terrific guide (Hi-eep is how we pronounced it) be sure to ask them for him if you go, he's the guy you want to show you around. He young, and his english is great, and he's funny, and very attentive your every need. Enjoy.</div><br />
