Mr Luke Biddle from Brisbane Australia – Solo traveller

(Vietnam & Cambodia in depth for 34 days from 9 Nov-12 Dec 2012)

Hi Tuan

How are you and the family?

I have survived my first couple of weeks back in Australia. It is good to be home but I miss your country. I miss the people and excitement, the motorbikes and chaos, and especially the food. Western food is so boring.

A bowl of pho would be heaven. Also a Hanoi beer.haven’t yet written a review for you on a travel forum, but I should get time this week. I’ll send you some photos once I have sorted them. I am interested in coming over to teach English around August, so we’ll have to talk more about it closer to the date. I have enrolled in a course that helps develop teaching skills. It will be good to learn a new skill. I haven’t seen my friend who is travelling to Vietnam in April, but once I do I’ll let him know your contact details.

I hope all is well. Take care

Luke Biddle

"Having had Tuan as our guide in Hanoi greatly increased both our enjoyment of and understanding of both Hanoi and the Vietnamese culture. Tuan is an excellent host and guide and my wife and I remember that part of our trip best in which he had a part. I would recommend Tuan to anyone visiting Vietnam. He took us to a great restaurant that we would never have found without him’. On our next trip we will most definitely use Tuan and his company"

" Thank you for your lovely email that was waiting for us on our return toAustralia. We had a great trip - enjoyed Vietnam very much (as you know) and enjoyed Cambodia too. Travel Authentic did a great job of organising us and our hotels - we will have no hesitation in recommending your company to any friends who might be heading your way in the near future"

“Gidday Minh,

That is an aussie slang word for hello. I wish to say thank you for being an informative, considerate and exceptional guide. Your country gave us some special memories, and your gave us special friendship while on your day tours. I spoke to Perry when we were waiting in line to get through customs back inAustralia

I will send you some pictures of us on holidays when I organise them.

I had my first day back at work today and my holiday went very quick.

Bye for now”

“Hi Thoan

Just a brief note to say thanks for all your efforts in making our holiday inVietnam a really enjoyable experience. The trip up to Sapa was particularly memorable and I very much enjoyed meeting your ghuide's Uncle and his family.

I have included two photos that I really liked particularly the one of the girls.

Regards”

“Hi Tuan

We talk about our wonderful trip to Vietnam and our fantastic guide 'Tuan' often, and encourage people to visit as tell them they will not be sorry, so much culture and wonderful friendly people - one day I hope we are able to come back and look at other parts of the country.”

Trevor and Desley Webb from : Victoria on March 6, 2011

“Dear Tuan

Lovely to hear from you.

We will have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone we know travelling to those destinations and will do so.

You certainly made our trip to Vietnam a memorable one and if you need to use us for any references we would be very happy to do so. Our time with you was magic and we still think of it and you often.

Trevor said he would like to go to Laos one day, so perhaps we will see you again one day.

Again all the very best to you and your beautiful family,

It is a pleasure to have dealings with you.

best wishes”
