Breakfast could have been better same options at all the hotels and Coffee wasn’t great

It was one of the easiest trips we've experienced. Everything as exactly as stated.

We enjoyed our trip tremendously and are glad we went. We saw much more than we would have seen on our own.

I found Globus Tours (sold by Affordable Tours) to be a good mix of guided tours and free time. The extra excursions offered were excellent and well organized.

Excellent service starting with HUE, all the way to end of trip with Tour Director as well as Driver. Could not expect anything better.Looking forward to book next Vacation.

The beds provided on all hotels are two single beds not queen as requested. When I inquired about this during booking it was explained to me that "twin" means two people staying in a room. If the two people staying in the room are not husband and wife then twin beds are OK.

Wonderful trip the tour director and bus driver were wonderful the group of people were great I am happy happy happy.
