Dear Mr. Nguyen Dac Thu,

We got back yesterday from a very pleasing vacation in Vietnam.

Thank you for taking care of the details of our trip as requested ( our hotel rooms being adjacent to each other ) and for suggesting an affordable hotel which provided very good food and service.

I would also like to extend my extra appreciation for a very knowledgable and accomodating guide in Ho Chi Minh, Mr. Ky.

Again, our sincerest appreciation.

Yours,

Associate Professor Dr. Gail Ludwig and her husband Missouri University Comlumbia U.S taking the Bhaya Cruise in Halong Bay on November 11, 2008

Dear Thu,

Our trip to Halong Bay was wonderful. If we were going to be taking any other trips while in Hanoi, I would have no hesitation in using you and/or your agency.

The positives of dealing with you and Prolands were the following:

Quick response on email messages

Pick up at our location and our not having to deal with getting a taxi or going to the old quarter to meet a bus.

Having you meet us in the morning with the driver

Fair price for the trip

And of course, this follow up.

The negatives were very, very minor, so I hesitate to even mention them. I also think you cannot do much about fixing these small things!

The drive to Halong Bay was fine. We stopped at a "tourist" place for a toilet stop. That stop was fine. The toilets were much appreciated and the people at that shop let us wander and look around. They did not pressure us in any way.

But other than that, the driver was excellent and we thought did a good job.

I don't know how you can find good toilets and a place to stop on the way to and coming from Halong Bay, but it really seemed to be just another opportunity to wring money from tourists.

Lauren and her husband - the cruise tours to Halong Bay on the Paradise Junk, on Dec 1, 2008.

Hi Thu,

We very much enjoyed our trip.  We found the staff to be charming, eager and knowledgeable.  The boat itself was quiet beautiful, clean and comfortable.

We had actually decided to take this trip on the recommendation of a friend, Joseph Paguiligan.  Joseph was on the Paradise Junk the week before us and spoke very highly of the crew and the boat. We, as well, would not hesitate to recommend this trip to others.

Thank you.

The family of Abigai, the UK, booking a 13 days ( July 2008) covering Hanoi city tour, Sapa trekking, Halong Bay cruise, Tam Coc

Dear Prolands Tours,

I am writing to you to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to Vietnam. Indeed, only when coming to Vietnam, did we understand how beautiful it was. Especially, your Halong Bay is very beautiful, beyond our imagination. Before the trip to your country, we had got to know the information of the tour via you website and interestingly you could arrange us an unforgettable tour, which could cover Hanoi city tour, Sapa trekking, Halong Bay cruise, Tam Coc. Many thanks for your advising us to select such an interesting junk. Servants on the junk were professional ones since they actually know how to satisfy us. They were skillful in cooking seafood and arranging dishes wonderfully. The junk and accommodation were spacious and clean. Every thing on the junk was as convenient as that in the hotel.

Your guides impressed us. All of them were knowledgeable and helpful. The local guide in Sapa was great; she introduced us customs and practices of ethic groups in mountainous areas in detail. In Halong Bay, the guide, Tung, was also good at presenting us the history of Halong Bay and its legend. Especially, when visiting some caves, Tung showed us the meaning of shapes of stone, and according to feelings they were exactly the same as the shapes of Buda, elephants, waterfalls and so on, incredible! It was out of our imagination!

Again, we thank you, Prolands Tours for your good services, and what we would like to say is worth a trip!

Yours sincerely, Abigail -abigail@viovitex.com


Mr and Mrs Shelia Adams, the U.K, taking the cruise to Halong Bay on the boat of Bay Bhaya, revealed their feelings after completed trip.

Dear Mr. Nguyen Dac Thu,

Thank you for your very good, interesting and mostly, well organized tour in Halong Bay. The cruise was much better than we ever expected!

Your country’ Halong Bay is very beautiful, only one in the world. Our boat, Bay Bhaya, which you recommended us, was excellent. The time mentioned in the itinerary was precise, so we could get the chance to enjoy unique beauty of Halong Bay. We were impressed by all what boat staff served. Seafood was extremely delicious and worth tasting. We were sure that all serving staff on the boat were very professional. Although the tour was the mixture of city tour in Hanoi and Halong Bay, the way you arrange the itinerary and accommodation was flexible. Our son and his friends has decided to travel to Vietnam for their next holiday according to our suggestion. If we can arrange our time, we will come back to your country next time and it is our hope that you can arrange us an interesting trip.

Regards,

Shelia Adams - shelia-adams@kurantee.com


The family of Amy Bryant together with his friends travelling to Vietnam and Cambodia 2nd May 2008 to 29th May, 2008.

Dear Thanh,

We were so pleased to experience the tour that you organized for us. Everything went like clockwork. Prolands Tours come with our highest recommendation to anyone for certain. We realized that it was wise of us to use your services in terms of price and quality. After back to our country, we talked about our trip to our colleagues and they really wanted to make a trip to Vietnam next holiday. I had given them your email address, Thuy, and certainly they hoped you could make them satisfied as what we had from Prolands Tours’ services.

Yours truly,

Amy Bryant


John Drakeford, a UK citizen based in Hong Kong works for UBS, took our VIETNAM - LAOS tours in May 2008.

Hi,

Those comments made about the hotel, boat, car etc were only as a helpful guide to you! I want to help you get even better and have more business. We were really satisfied with our holiday, those little things did not spoil our trip and it was still excellent. In my opinion, it would be more helpful for you if we let you know a few things that can be improved for future trips arranged by you and all, it was not my complaint. They were not problems with Prolandstours! You have really been outstanding! They were little issues as well, they did not matter since you know we did not hope everything should have been 100% perfect!!! I really enjoyed my holiday and up to now It has been a fadeless memory in my mind. When set foot on Hanoi soil, everything was in progress perfectly. I met Mr Nguyen Dac Thu at the airport and he got my payment at our hotel and since that day the tour was smooth. Nguyen Dac Thu, who was so sweet and helpful, left a good impression in our mind. What you could do for us was highly appreciated by both of us. I enjoyed dealing with you all. Our friends have been interested in the tour to Indochina when told about the convenience that you could bring for us.

Please, send my regards to Nguyen Dac Thu. I have some photos of him and I will send them to him as soon as possible. I am so glad to hear he is the best sales now. He is very good job at his job. Thank you for all your sweet comments to me, about being a friend too. That is so nice of you! I would like to offer that to you all too. Please let me know if you will ever visit the UK and you have time to travel to UK we would meet, Nguyen Dac Thu. Take care, I hope to hear from you again and if there is anything I can be of help with please let me know.

Kind regards,

John Drakeford


Elizabeth Montilla and her husband, took a tour of 21 days (June 2008) through Vietnam, expressing their feelings after the tour

Dear Promise Land Tours,

Thank your for your arranging our tour to Vietnam. We had a wonderful time and exploited colorful cultures in your beautiful country. It is difficult for us to express how your country is beautiful and peaceful since any place we traveled through we received local friendly villagers’ warm welcomes. Wonderfully, you could arrange us to have home-stay in Mai Chau – Hoa Binh, and honestly, the experience has left us a fadeless impression up to now, in our country. Your guides, who were very knowledgeable and considerate, could help us to contact villagers so that we could better understand about their life. To tell the truth, my husband, a cultural researcher, was satisfied with what your guides performed. He hopes that one day he will come back to Vietnam in order to have a deeper understanding of your country, and this is my wish, as well.

Your tour was a unique combination of the so-called culture and adventure tour. It was comprised of relaxation in old quarter of Hanoi and ancient town of Hoi An, Halong Bay and Mai Chau and Sapa trekking. If we have another chance to Vietnam, we will visit these places again. One interesting thing is that your meals were delicious, surely thanks to clean food, and more importantly, my husband can took part in a cooking class in Hanoi, and from now on, he will serve my family Vietnamese dishes such as Pho, spring roll.

Again, I would like to express our thanks to Proland Tours, which helped us to have an interesting trip to Vietnam. Actually, what we received was from your real service value and hopefully you continuously improve your services so as to help other fellow travelers to have wonderful tour to Vietnam like ours.

Frankly,

Elizabeth Montilla


Barry Schultz, manager of Intel Singapore, together with his 3 angel children, took cruise Halong 3 days and Hanoi Sapa 6 days from July 22, 2008 to July 31, 2008.

Hello Prolandtours,

I attended tours through Prolandtours in the Hanoi region and Sapa Lao Cai, guided by Nguyen Thuy Vinh. The tour group consisted of my three young children and me. My experience was rewarding and Vinh was interesting, and more considerate than what I would like to reveal here!

Indeed, Vinh demonstrated the utmost professionalism. His good organization is remarkable, both in planning and in conversation. Modestly, I am myself a highly education person, but still I should learn something from Vinh’ problem solving skills. I was very impressed with his broad and deep though process. It is undeniable that my children and I were in his debt since he could help me a lot when my children got ill in Sapa. Vinh dealt with all things for me. He impressed me as very capable. Vinh also touched us with is warmth, tenderness, and patience. He was more than a professional guide, feeling like a friend as well. His mastery of the English language was impressive, as was his ability to store and recall the interesting facts regarding the sites we toured.

The tour to Sapa and cruise in Halong Bay is wonderful. Hotel in Sapa had good view and was beautiful and the junk in Halong was better than I had expected before travelling to Vietnam.

Thank you for your good services, Prolandstours. It is my hope that one day I can come back to Vietnam to cover other places since there are many beautiful sites that I still want to see in your country.

Best regards,

Barry Schultz
