  Hi,
  We are 2 women from France, and interested on the trip you're proposing in march 19.
  We are dobble role dancers, so if it's not a problem we won't have issue in the milonga's or marathon about balance.
  We are now dancing for more than 10 years.
  We have some very simple questions about the program, please see below : (we plan to attend the 3 trips).
  Day 1 : at what time do we need to arrive in Hanoi to catch the transfer ?
  When diner or lunch is not included : what do you recommand ? what is the "average" price for diner or lunch ?
  What will be the price of the Marathon , and the "pre diner" with the marathonians ?
  Last day : do we need to come back in Europe (Paris) from Saigon or do you recommand us to go back to Hanoi for a round trip (in general more cheaper).
  thanks a lot for your answer, we will study it carrefully and make our decision.
  Warm regards
  Evelyne and Catherine

  Dear Evelyn & Catherine
  Thank you for enquiring, I am will be confirming with the Marathon organiser but I am sure it won’t be an issue with the double role.
  The transfer is aimed to be early morning Saturday 9th March, but as we have many participants arriving from different destination, we generally can corordinate ( if timing is different from the the designated time) to share transport to minimise cost
  The included meals is listed in the detailed itinerary, as attached https://tangoinvietnam.wordpress.com/itinerary/. In summary,all breakfast, a welcome dinner day 1 and Farewell dinner day 13, Full board Ha Long Bay Cruise, most lunches except day 1, during Marathon in Danang and post Marathon in Hoi An ( you will find that breakfasts are so plentiful you won’t need lunch). Pre marathon dinner price has not been announced but expect to be around €10, (Marathon feeUSD130). Regarding price for meals out depends on your budget, simple delicious street food around €3-€5, meals in restaurants can be anything in between €10- €30 . We generally organise optional extra for group meals out in our last and averge cost is around €10-€15 ( including drinks).
  Re flights back to Europe, it would be much easier to fly back from Saigon as Hanoi is 2 hrs flights away plus waiting time it would make your journey much longer ( plus around $60-100 for tickets depending on when you book . We find that price difference to fly directly from the U.K. is not much different.
  I hope this answers your questions, please let me know if you need more details or help with finding flights.
  Warm regards
  Hanh

  if you want to experience a rich cultural Vietnam experience and combine it with the opportunity to Tango, this is a perfect trip . I’ve been on the tour twice in two years and both experiences were different . Hahn caters for everyone on this trip. She even took me on a midnight walking tour as I was departing Vietnam early and was going to miss the group walking tour the next day . This tour had everything for me especially meeting wonderful people. The local food specialities are another whole review sometime , food and culture , dancing and fun . Wonderful.
