    Incredible round trip with a great tour guide We are back from our 18-day tour of Vietnam. We got exactly what we wanted. We have taken incredible impressions and moments home with us. Special thanks go to our tour guide Seb Pham. We have never met such a lovely, competent person before. He actively supported us and made us feel completely at ease with his commitment. Many thanks for this, everyone who is accompanied by him can count themselves lucky.
