Brenda was amazing and the tours that were picked were authentic and not tourist traps. Transfer to and from the airport was so smooth. She is the best!

The hotel’s tours were informative and provided us with a comprehensive understanding of the town’s history. Additionally, Brenda’s choice in tailoring locations was exceptional. She chose a great place with kind and attentive tailors.

We had some of the most enjoyable tours out of Ho Chi Minh City. We enjoyed Monkey Island and the city tour, especially going to the post office to get a stamp made, which was unique as it was a picture of our family. The hotel is the nicest in Ho Chi Minh City, but was not the best for our trip.

Again, Brenda offered a nice selection of hotels and took care of booking. She also offered great tour ideas, including the Crazy Horse show. I would never have booked it had she not suggested it, and it turned out to be a highlight for my daughter! We really enjoyed the show—a very Parisian experience. She loaded the hotel, tours, and air travel on the travel app which is so convenient. This was our third trip with Brenda and it won’t be our last! We are busy trying to plan a trip for 2027.

I would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway.
