Def/Air Attache of Chile in IsraelThank you
Dear all. This is to say thank you very much for all your support during our trip to Vietnam. We spent a wonderful time in your country, and we were able to know a lot about your people, culture, places and ways of life. Our three guides, Thong - in Saigon and Mekong Delta; Thom - in Hue and Hoy An; and Ding - in Hanoi and Halong Bay did a wonderful work. Congratulations for all of them. I think we can recommend your agency to our friends. Our best regards Carlos Bertens and family.
Mr. Barry GannonADAA Reunion and trip to Ha NoiDanhJust a short note to say thank you for your very professional services provided to the Australian Air Dispatch Association (ADAA) reunion in Saigon and the tours you arranged for us during the two weeks we were in Vietnam. The guides were very good and spoke good english which assisted us very much, they were very knowledgeable about the country and its people. Your charges for the services provided were very modest and much better than those offered by companies based here in Australia. Should you require I am happy to post you a letter from the ADAA recommending your services to anyone who may be interested. Again our thanks for your services they were excellent. Barry Gannon
Anna ConneryThanks
Dear Dzung Trinh We have returned from our very enjoyable tour of Vietnam and I wanted to thank you for your assistance with our arrangements. All went very smoothly and all the people who helped us were very nice. The hotels were all good with the exception of Hai Phong Hotel which was not very clean. We changed to the Hoi An Beach Resort (instead of the Glory Hotel) before leaving HCMC and we really enjoyed that. Thank you again for your help. I will recommend you to my friends. Kind Regards Anna Connery

Dear Dzung Trinh, Now that we are home in New Zealand my wife and I wish to thank you and your staff for making our stay in Vietnam such a wonderful experience. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and all our travel and transfers went completely smoothly for which we have to thank TNK Travel. Your country and people have left a lasting impression on us. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We would love to return and will recommend to any of our friends, thinking of travelling, that they visit Vietnam, particularly Ho Chi Minh city, and that they contact TNK Travel. Thanks again for your assistance. Best regards to you all. Max & Lorraine Brown.

Andrew & Jane PittFeedback
This is some feedback from our trip to Vietnam.
* Ms Luu Vo - excellent, very keen to help and accommodate us. * HCMC tour & Mekong Delta - excellent. Tam was a very good guide and is obviously proud of his country and its heritage. Our driver/s were also excellent. * Hue and Hoi An - our guide Lam, was a very nice person, but his pronounciaton of English was poor and he was difficult to understand. Content of the tour was good and driver was excellent. * Hanoi - Accommodation was the poorest of our tour, but it was only for one night and it was almost like living in a tube house. Our guide, Long, was excellent. * All transfers were very good and flights with Vietnam Air was excellent. * Lunches - they were very good. Two were much the same (Elephant ear fish) and they were both in the Mekong, but they were all of a high standard. * Cu Chi tour - for my wife, this was a highlight and it was everything she could have wished for because she teaches Vietnamese history. We were very happy with your service and would have no hesitation in recommending your services to other travellers. Sincerely Andy & Jane Pitt
Kurt HaeringComment on 22 Day Tour
TNK has succeeded to present a superb tour covering the major ponts of interest in Vietnam and Cambodia. From planning to execution TNK provided excellent performance with the reliability of a Swiss clock. As we booked a private tour the organization was perfect and the guides met highest standards. We truly recommend TNK for exploring this beautiful country and its friendly people.
Candice LohSpecial Thanks
We would like to special thanks to all the arrangement to VNB Travel Vietnam on our 2 days tour in Mekong Delta River and Ho Chi Minh City (16 and 17Nov).

Andrea MallettThank You
Dear tnk, Your company organised a wonderful trip for ourselves and our friends (Mallett & Crisp families) over christmas and new year 2006/2007. We have some photos and things we would like to pass on to the wonderful guides that showed us around your beautiful country. If we send them to you are you able to pass them on for us? If possible do you have an address for Dat who did such a wonderful job of showing us around Saigon and Mekong Delta. Thank You again for a wonderful trip we have been recomending your company to all of our friends. Andrea Mallett
GarthTNKTnk provided me with flawless service. As an American travelling alone in Viet Nam I was a little nervous before my departure, but the entire staff was very kind to me - always making sure that I was comfortable, informed and where I needed to be on time. Highly recommended both for price and quality of service. -G

Mai Chau Valley - Attraction in Hoa Binh
Mai Chau is located in Hoa Binh province, approximately 135km from Hanoi and 60km from Hoa Binh. From the top of Cun Mountain, one can admire the magnificent panorama of Mai Chau surrounded by a green valley and dotted with stilt houses. Many minorities, including the Thai ethnic group, live in Mai Chau.
Stilt houses border both sides of the roads. The houses are quite large with palm-leaf roofs and polished bamboo-slat floors. The kitchen is located in the center of the house and is in many ways the most important room, used for weaving the colorful tho cam - the material used by the Thai people to make their clothes - as well as for cooking. The windows are large and decorated with patterns. Each house also has a pond to breed fish.
The weekly Sunday market brings a lot of people into town. People from the various minorities living in the mountains come to Mai Chau market to sell their products, such as honey, bananas, corn, and tho cam made by skilled Thai women. The Sunday market is also the place where you can enjoy delicious Thai dishes and participate in traditional dances.
Mai Chau also serves as a base for trekking tours to the surrounding villages, which offer overnight homestays in the traditional houses of the H'Mong and Thai people.
Hoa Binh is a mountainous province located in the north of Vietnam. It is bordered by Son La to the west, Ha Nam and Ninh Binh to the east, Phu Tho and Ha Tay to the north, and Thanh Hoa to the south. The province is home to six minority groups, each with its own language, traditional literature and festivals.
The remote minority villages are attractive sites for tourists who love to sample the local specialty dishes, including rice cooked in bamboo and grilled meat. They also enjoy watching traditional Thai dancing, singing and musical performances featuring drums and gongs
After an early breakfast, spend the whole day trekking. At 8am, transfer by car/van to Sam Khoe village, some 20 km from Mai Chau. Begin your trek through the villages, taking in the picturesque rural scenery. Enjoy a picnic lunch en route. The trek takes about 6 hours with a lot of stops along the way.
