I have just returned from my 2nd visit to Vietnam.

I have just returned from my 2nd visit to Vietnam. What a wonderful country full of such a diversity of things to do and places to see. Both years, I hired Nguyen Binh, a wonderful driver/tour ‘designer’ in Hoi An/Danang. He helped me so much in planning my original trip and then made the reality just amazing. Such a relief, after a very long flight, to see Nguyen Binh standing at the airport. On the way to Khamy Villa (where I was delighted to stay both years — the best breakfast in all of Vietnam for sure!), he stopped and took us to a wonderful Money Exchange, and a couple of stops for ‘supplies’ for our room. He created an itinerary that was beyond anything I have ever experienced. Over 3 days, we saw everything that all the online tour operators suggest, as well as some other intriguing places. We love good food and Binh was able to guide us to amazing local cuisine. I’d be happy to pass along some names! I thought we would be on repeat for experiences this year, but no, lots more surprises and great times. Nguyen Binh has a lovely, clean and air conditioned car, was very inexpensive and best of all, one of the nicest, most honest people ever. I even enjoyed a lovely lunch at his family home. One of the true highlights of my trip! Both trips, I travelled with a variety of ages but somehow, he managed to find wonderful experiences that suited us all; albeit sometimes, he was shuffling between two venues to suit my age and keep us all happy!! Not only did we leave loving our trip, but also, felt we were leaving a good friend and can’t wait to return with other members of my family. I’ve had several friends also use his services and they all were just as happy.

    Susan Vieno Stirling thank you for posting! We are headed there next week with my parents who are in their 70’s. I was hoping to find a driver to make it a bit easier!
