“A fantastic photo tour! (wearing Aodai during city walk!)”
We had a wonderful photo tour with traditional Aodai on. Thank you so much for all the arrangement of photo location, Aodai rental shop, frequent rides of taxi, and local seafood restaurant. I felt like you were guiding us for a whole day itinerary! My friend Rieko was also satisfied with your service. Originally we ordered one person at first, but you guys fully attended us to the last moment. We really appreciate your team! Looking forward to the photo data in near future. See you again in Saigon. Thank you again for the unforgettable photo tour!
