We had a wonderful trip to Dalat; we managed to see everything we wanted in one day: the glass bridge, the Faces of Love, the waterfall, and the coffee farm. I'd like to point out that Treasure Island offers several trip options to Dalat, each with a different location, and we chose the one that was most appealing to us. Another plus was our small group, which didn't take long to get everyone together, a comfortable minivan with a driver who expertly navigated the serpentine roads, and our attentive guide, Ivan, who explained everything and answered our questions about Vietnam in general. It was also nice to be in the cool mountainous terrain after the heat of Nha Trang.
