Vietnam Delights - Guest Feedback

Vietnam Delights - Guest Feedback

Posted on 27/05/2011 by Kylee

Travel VUDA is back from another very successful Vietnam Delights Women Only Escorted Tour.

We always come back on such a high after this trip, and the overall feedback I get from the guests is just amazing. It's great to know that the ladies have fallen in love with Vietnam and the travelling experience as much as I have.

Here's some feedback from the 2011 Vietnam Delights ladies;

Overall comments:
- Right from booking the trip last year, I felt confident that I had made the right decision to go on a group tour, and right through to getting off the plane again in Auckland, I felt that I had been very well looked after. Your pre-trip information was wonderful, dealing with our visas, the advice on what to take and pack etc, was invaluable. The itinerary was great, and the trip lived up to my expectations.

- I am now a Vietnam fan and can't think how I could have enjoyed it more than going with great bunch of women. No fuss, no hassle, everything was so easy! Can't wait for the next trip.

- My sister and I travelled to Vietnam recently on a ladies only tour. It was a fabulous experience exceeding all expectations. We enjoyed a variety of well thought out organised sightseeing with plenty of free time to explore, shop or just sit and watch the world go by. There were plenty of highlights: Exploring Hanoi around the Old Quarter. The overnight train to Hue - what a laugh!! And then the icing on the cake - luxurious accommodation on arrival. Our own junk to stay on at the fabulous Halong Bay. Hoi An where we had clothes made and enjoyed several cyclo rides around the town. The boat trip exploring the fascinating Mekong Delta. Finishing off at Ho Chi Minh City, by then confident ladies able to cross the very busy roads with ease!! So much to see and do and I could return any day!!

- Kylee Flegg was our ultimate tour director. Very helpful, never intrusive and always open to suggestions from the ladies. She made the Vietnam experience special and memorable. We are now ready to save up for the next adventure with the very capable and gorgeous Kylee. Kylee you are a treasure. Thank you so much for everything.

- Vietnam was a wonderful experience and the tour has left me with memories for life. Kylee is a thoughtful, helpful and all round delightful tour organiser. Can't wait for the next adventure.


How did you enjoy travelling as part of a ladies group?:
- I found it a great experience. After my last trip going solo, I found this much more satisfying. Someone to talk to, someone to share experiences with, and with the whole tour being geared for ladies only, there were only really things on the itinerary that appealed to ladies. Well done Kylee - I can't wait to travel with you again. And of course this group jelled right from the start and everyone was so easy to get on with.


- I have never travelled in a women's group before, so it was very enjoyable to meet different personalities and also have free time on your own if you needed it.

- Really enjoyed! Vietnam as a destination really appealed to me, and been able to book as a women travelling alone.


How did you find the overall value of the trip, including both the tour cost and spending money?:
- Extremely reasonable for the total tour cost.

- Spot on with USD$500 recommend spending amount, with a bit extra for those who like to shop and enjoy cocktails etc!!


- Excellent value for money - and as for spending money - I spent pretty much most of my allowance, but I didn't want to miss out on anything (i.e. the two optional trips) and I did a lot of shopping which I hadn't really planned on doing in Hoi An. But good value and I'm so pleased with my purchases.


- Real value for money - no hidden costs.

What was your highlight?:
- The whole trip was a highlight!! Hanoi - exciting. Walk around the lake was very spiritual. Cyclo ride a big highlight. Our many walks around the Old Quarter among the Vietnamese people. Halong Bay - majestic. The swim off the junk, the walk to the caves, Bamboo boat ride, the food. The train trip - even 'tho a bit challenging, we lived to tell the tale!! Everything about Hue. Hoi An - thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class and the food. The shopping and experience of getting something made to measure. Again our two cyclo rides around the shops/markets and back to the resort - well worth the dong!! Ho Chi Minh City -The War Remnants Museum, thought provoking and a must for everyone to visit. Mekong Delta boat trip. Cu Chi Tunnels. Many more and always the food!!!

- Being pampered for two whole weeks. No cooking, no dishes and having my own little hand-maiden in Hue, and following that up with a facial and massage. Pure heaven. But then the shopping in Hoi An, and then the Majestic - it was all fabulous.


Do you think there was too much, not enough or just the right amount of pre-arranged sightseeing?:
- Well thought out pre-arranged sightseeing. We were treated to many different experiences and given plenty of time for personal choices.

- It was good mix of pre-arranged and free time.


Any comments regarding the meals, transport, local guides:
- Introduced to a variety of cuisine which was all outstanding. Transport was exceptional with comfortable coaches. All the local guides had different personalities and gave invaluable information.

- All were excellent. Meals great (and thanks for taking us to all those neat places on our free nights), transport comfortable (and thank you for all that lovely cold water) and the local guides great.
