We really enjoyed our journey immensely. Our guide in Hanoi, Hieu was exceptional. His command of English was great. He was very learned and a great provider of historical, political and cultural information. We all (kids included) really enjoyed his company- he's a real stand-out. The Mekong Homestay was great but the visit to one of the hilltribe villages on the way there was the best. We definitely plan to return and will keep Vietnam Discovery Travel in mind when we make the arrangements. Thanks for all the help.
