We just returned from a wonderful trip to Vietnam and Cambodia organized by Mr Vinh at AOJ. It was nearly perfect. All the arrangement, transfers and accommodation were seamless. The tour included the usual stops but had many unexpected gems. Some highlights were the homestay in the Mekong Delta, the resorts Hoi An Boutique,and Emeralda (where we wish we could have spent extra time). We also liked The Saigon Morin. Some other unexpected highlights were Sophie's art tour, the music house in Saigon and the Mekong Delta tour. The Cambodia part of the trip had many unexpected highlights including a trip into the countryside, a fabulous hotel and a terrific guide. I should also mention that the restaurants that were part of the tour were mostly fabulous and the recommendations made for other meals met the standards of our foodies co-travellers.

The very few 'disappointments' were the overnight in Halong Bay. The weather (not controlled by AOJ was so-so but so was the boat and the guide. But the experience was totally overshadowed by all the guides who were all exceptionally helpful, flexible and attentive. They even arranged to retrieved a bag I forgot in a hotel. All the guides were proficient in English but one guide was a little difficult to understand. All in all I would definitely recommend this outfit for being totally professional, flexible and delivering a terrific trip.
