You MUST USE Glamour Adventures !!!!
We just had the most incredible three weeks in Vietnam and it was largely due to the unbelievable planning, care and attention from the wonderful folks at Glamour Adventures. We worked with Rose and Uyen to plan our trip and everything was taken care of efficiently, professionally and to perfection. Everything you can imagine was thought of including dietary restrictions. There was only one small issue which was dealt with professionally and to our satisfaction. We can’t say enough good things about Glamour Adventures and if you want to visit Vietnam or any of the other countries that they support, you will absolutely be thrilled with your experience. Thank you Rose and Uyen for the wonderful memories. Love Lisa and Michael from Canada
