|
|
Hello,
I have been planning a vacation to Vietnam this summer. After some
search on the internet, I found this company called The Mongol Global Tour Co.
They are quite responsive and have answered all my questions.
Now I need to send them a deposit to secure two spaces in June for me and
my husband. I am getting a cold feet since I only met this company
through the internet.
Has anyone here used this company before? If so, would you please
let me know if this company is legit? Will they take my deposit and
simply disappear?
Thank you in advance.

I spent two weeks in Vietnam in December, but we didn't go through an agency on a tour. What kind of deposit are you making? (As in how much money) and is any of it refundable? Pay with your credit card and if they suddenly decide to lose contact with you, you can have the payment cancelled.
I was interested to read you are planning a trip in June- it is the wettest month in the south and daily downpours are common. Ho Chi Minh averages 87 degrees year-round but up in Hanoi, May-August average temperatures are like 90, and don't forget the humidity! :shock: |

There are a couple of sites on the internet where you can look up customer reviews about a company. The largest such site I am aware of is Eopinions (www.eopinions.com). They have consumer reviews for all kinds of products, including travel.
Another site that provides extensive coverage on tour operators is
InfoHub (www.infohub.com). I just found that The Mongol Global Tour Co is listed there:

Hope this helps. |

Cocodrilo, I want to thank for advice. Now I had changed my mind and will not go in this time of the year. It was a bad idea to go in June.
I looked for reviews and found this company there, it seems to me legit.
Thanks |
