The trip was extremely well organised and the students enjoyed it thoroughly. We plan to return to Vietnam on the year 11 trip next year as it was one of the highlights of the school residentials. The local agency was phenomenal and the tour guides extremely courteous. From the teachers and students at ISM. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.— International School of Moscow
