All our correspondence was done with Hang Nguyen. The information that we received was
very good and we really appreciated her “follow-up” on all the aspects during the tour. Hang is
definitely an asset to Bestrate Tours as a company!
1. Itinerary: 10/10
2. Food/ Drink: 8/10
3. Tour Guide
3.1. Guide in Hanoi
Really enjoyed the guide for the Ha Long Bay excursion (Man). He interacted well with us and had a
good sense of humor. The other guide was very knowledgeable and he treated us very well.
For the night eating tour, the guide (Tam) was very good and attentive. The only comment that I have
is that it is not possible to eat all the food so maybe it is an idea to ask the guests if they would like
to share portions of food.
3.2. Guide in Hue/ Hoi An
Gave very good information and was very helpful with questions.
3.3. Guide in Ho Chi Minh
The guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the interaction with him.
4. Accommodation
4.1. Hotel in Hanoi
The Minasi Hanoioi Hotel was well situated in the city. The room was very acceptable as was the
breakfast. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
4.2. Hotel in Ho Chi Minh
Queen Ann Hotel – This hotel was below our expectations. The hotel is situated across the road
from a night club and the loud music was played/heard until 2-3am in the morning. This loud music
interrupted our sleep. After the night club had closed then the people who had been in the club
continued to party and talk loudly outside the club. On one of the mornings the talking (noise)
continued to 7am and further interrupted our sleep. The bed and amenities in the room were ok but
the panels and walls of the room were covered in dust and had obviously not been cleaned for a
long time.
4.3. Cruise in Halong
Definitely one of the highlights of the tour. All the staff on the boat were very friendly. The
accommodation and food on the boat was excellent. The time allocated for the cruise was for us
just right.
4.4. Hotel in Hue
The Rosaleen Hotel location, facilities and staff were all ‘top-notch’. Enjoyed being accommodated
at this hotel.
4.5. Hotel in Hoi An
This hotel was very special and we enjoyed our stay there. We especially appreciated having a
swimming pool available in which to ‘cool-off’. All the amenities and hotel staff were “top-class”.

In general the guides were excellent and I would have given them 10. The one in Sapa was particularly good - helpful and flexible. In Hanoi and Hue they were also professional and knowledgable. They were all punctual. The exception was HCMC which we discussed with you.
