La Residence d'Angkor - Siem Reap

Jane and Kate Whitmore

Hello Vi,

I am writing to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to Vietnam and the services supplied by you and your company.

I also have a couple of suggestions for improvement.

First of all, your services were flawless!  You may use me as a reference anytime.  Please forward this email to your manager and any other high-level people who should know how pleased we were with your services.

Here are the things that you and your company did really well:

• Communication
  I chose your company because of the consistent and frequent email communication from you.  As you know, the person we originally were working with left. You picked up the work and continued promptly and efficiently.  Initially I was somewhat worried about using an "unknown" travel agency outside of the United States to arrange this travel.  You allayed those fears with your frequent, responsive communication. It was very reassuring to know that you were there and always responded within 12 hours. Well done!
• Guides and Drivers
  Our guides everywhere on our trip were excellent.  I appreciated that each one stated something like, "This is your vacation and I want you to have a good experience."  On several days we made slight requests for changes to the itineraries.  Every time our guides were accommodating and gracious. Their English was excellent. The drivers were always safe. I also appreciated that we were not expected to pay for our guides' or drivers' meals which would have been an unexpected expense.
• Hotels met or exceeded our expectations. We especially enjoyed the hotel at Angor Wat.
• Travel arrangements
  We were picked up promptly every time.  When just the driver picked us up at the airport, he immediately called the guide so we could speak with him about the next day's schedule. This was very reassuring and impressive, even when these calls were late at night.  We appreciated that our travel was confirmed and we were given updated airline information, including the one time the flight was delayed.
• Itinerary I originally proposed an itinerary. Your agent made some suggestions which were good.  When Mrs. Vy was not available for us on the day of cooking school, Vi was proactive to let us know. As it turned out, we did not have Mrs. Vy for cooking, but her assistant, instead.  This turned out to be just fine and we were very happy with our cooking school experience.  The "Hanoi Hilton" prison was  not on our itinerary, but when we asked our guide about it, he included it.

Thank you for your excellent service and our very wonderful trip.

Just a short note to thank you for the excellent hotels and tour services during our stay in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, we are especially impressed with your Siem Reap tour guide, Mr. Chhuon Chhai as he is highly professional and knowledgeable.......

I would certainly recommend all my friends and colleagues to use the service of Exotissimo when they visit the Indo-China countries and I hope to use your service as well in a not too distance future....

Best wishes
