” They enjoyed the variety and quality of the food served immensely, especially the attention noted on their dietary restriction. They enjoyed the entertaining character of the tour guide, who made the cruise extra special. They found the activities just right, suitable for all ages (they are 68 & 66 years old) and conducted at a relaxed pace. Thank you for your excellent professional service in making the process of arranging this trip for my parents convenient and a pleasure. It was a delight to deal with Tien, who was professional yet very personable. In addition, the extra step of informing the hotel where my parents were staying was the extra touch (and reassurance) that my parents really appreciated.”
