"A trip well done — special dietary requirements handled perfectly"
My family had a 24-day tour of Vietnam and Cambodia specifically designed for us. Linda not only emailed every hotel about our special dietary requirements, but called two days in advance of each destination and made sure every guide was informed. The sad part is that it came to an end. We are already in contact with Linda to organise our next trip.
