United StatesExcellent service from beginning to end. Our agent, MY UYEN, was really helpful and responsive. She assisted us in organizing our itinerary before the trip. She was quite helpful during the trip, helping us refine and providing us with information.
Everywhere we go, my wife and I create our own program. We chose to go on a scheduled tour after discovering Best Price, and we couldn't be happier.
Transportation, a 5-star supper, a cruise, and a cave trip are all well-planned and fantastic.
I would definitely use again in the future.
