CanadaTravel Consultant Anna planned multiple excursions for me, including a cruise on Halong Bay followed by a seaplane flight, and a private ground transfer to the airport.
Although I had never been to Southeast Asia, Anna attended to every detail for several days of my extended journey, including my Vietnam visa.
I trusted her, and she delivered on her promise. Everything she planned was perfect. I highly recommend her services; she is an excellent communicator.
