"Thank you for everything during the trip. I really enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing you in southern Vietnam in the near future!"
"Thanks for the wonderful arrangements! My family really enjoyed the trip and had a wonderful experience. Duyen and Luyen were really good guides to have, showing us the many birds that can be found at their respective sites. Thanks to Luyen, we saw four out of five of the Dalat endemics and saw glimpses of the last one, Orange-breasted Laughingthrush, at Ta Nung Valley. There's really nothing more we could ask for, bird-wise. Once again, thanks for the trip and hope to use your service again in future!"
"Back again for more. Great 3 days in Dalat. Despite the weather making seeing the birds difficult, we still managed to see lots of birds and the Grey-crowned Crocias were very special. Thanks again – as usual you were patient, cheerful, professional and everything was sorted. See you again."
"Thanks again for a great trip. I enjoyed it from all angles and came away with some great new birds. I look forward to the time when we can next get out there together again."
Simon de Albuquerque, Singapore
“Just a quick note to say thanks for sorting all the logistics on my recent Cat Tien trip. All worked well. I found Bar-bellied Pittas without any trouble, saw 10 in total, but Blue-rumped was tougher, as expected. Thanks again for your assistance, I'll be in touch next time I head to Vietnam!”
Chris Gooddie, www.pittasworld.com, UK
“Richard, our guide and the owner of Vietnam Birding was just wonderful. Our trip was beautifully organized, weather was better than we expected, birds, although difficult to see, were seen in good numbers with stellar views of many of Vietnam's special birds.”
Nancy & Robert Dean, Bradenton, FL, USA
“Thanks again for all of your help and kindness. It helped make my Vietnam experience very pleasant and frustration-free. There will always be fond memories. I will definitely send people your way if they need any help with a trip to Vietnam.”
Pete Loncar, Montrose, CO, USA
"Thanks very much for your guiding, we had a very good trip. I will tell all of our friends to contact you if ever they intend to bird in Vietnam."
Nicholas Barden & Lise Laflamme, Quebec City, Canada
"Thanks again for the Cat Tien arrangements. We really had a wonderful time and it is so far one of the highlights of the Vietnam part of our trip. We will definitely be recommending Vietnam Birding to our friends who come this way!"
Mary Kelly & Rick Lowerre, Austin, TX, USA
"We had a really wonderful four days with you and I particularly enjoyed myself - as you were probably aware. Though I'm not good at it all I do have enormous fun in my birding. It was great too to see the other side of Vietnam. I am already thinking of where to go next and am interested by lots on your website and your mention of northern Cambodia sounds very tempting."
Robyn & John Rayner, Sydney, Australia
"The trip was extremely well organized with somebody always ready to lend a hand when it was needed, be it at airports, for transportation, at hotels. Although Richard himself was not available for our trip, we were very pleased with the local experts who accompanied us at Dalat and Cat Tien: great birding skills, good English, and good company.
Although I'm living in Vietnam, I had no idea there were easily accessible areas here with such great habitats and good birds. Vietnam Birding highly recommended to explore them!"
Douglas Graham, Hanoi, Vietnam
“All in all, a splendid trip, and we'll try to send more business your way. Lots of birds, nobody got sick, fantastic food, a superb leader - one could hardly ask for more.”
“Thanks so much Richard. I realized – as did we all – just how much you did for us and how much you contributed to our group by being part of it and leading it. You rank way above – plus you know the birds.”
Julian & Kathy Donahue, Los Angeles, CA, USA
“I have told birder friends that if they are looking for Vietnam specialties, they can find no one better than you to help them.”
William Riley, New York, NY, USA
“Thanks for the great trip you put together for us. There is always a bit of risk when arranging travel to a place you do not know with firms you have no experience with but any concerns we had concerning your services were completely unfounded. The arrangements were everything you promised, your ability to help us find the birds wonderful and the demeanor with which you ran the trip delightful. Please feel free to use me as a reference to anyone who might have questions.”
David Hartwell, Minneapolis, MN, USA
“Thanks for everything, really enjoyed the time. Will keep in touch and again thanks for a really excellent time.”
Mark Jagusch, Sydney, Australia
“Many thanks for setting this trip up for me. I leave Vietnam with 50 new species, many of which are very hard to find anywhere. I had a great time, and would happily recommend your services.”
Philip Johnson, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA
“A fantastic trip - with the temples of Angkor a high point (one of many) for me! Our guide at Angkor, Sophoan Rath, was especially good - we highly recommend him for future tours. He was able to show us a large temple some miles out in the country, which was much appreciated and a bit of an extra effort for him.
We are still amazed that everything, and I do mean everything, worked so well - right down to the flights home …”
“Thanks again, Richard, for a wonderful adventure.”
Paul & Marcia Secord, Pasadena, CA, USA
“Thanks for arranging the trip it was excellent, saw all my targets.”
