Your meal might end with the most popular fresh fruit smoothie or local way called "Toeuk Kralork". You can choose different flavors or fruit types you want, such as avocado, durian, mango, passion fruit, etc.

Enjoy Your Night At Pub Street
Morning
After breakfast at the hotel, you can join the Cookery Class from 9:30 to 12:00 to learn how to prepare traditional and tasty Khmer dishes under the guidance of the chef.

Doris is so helpful, she help to contact the Vietnam Airlines office to clarify this matter. As a result from this, we are requested to send our passport & booking confirmation to airline office to rectify it.

I have no words to describe how thankful I am for the service provided. Once again, my family would like to say thank you to them that delivered such a service beyond our expectations.

As I be arriving to Hanoi towards the end of April, I had a great discussion with Emma and Lucy on my 5 days in Vietnam travel plan. Both ladies ensured that everything will be taken care from airport pick up to my preference in staying on the type of hotel, transport to and from Ha Long bay, cruise ship type, transport from hotel to the airport.
Shout out to Lucy for going above and beyond to ensure everything is in order even though she's back to her hometown and I'm done with the 2D1N tour, and not forgetting answering my question about the trip + random question about Vietnam e.g. tips, food, old quarter location, and the public holidays.

I'll probably booked Lily's travel again on my future trip to Ninh Binh or other places (Yet to plan), and will recommend your company to my friends (especially friends who enjoy travelling solo ).
