clients' reviews

Dear Lien,

Hope you're doing well!!

We wanted to have written to you earlier, but when we returned to Spain we started working and we haven't found the time until today.

Once again we would like to thank you for your help with the organization of our trip to Vietnam. Everything was very well organized and we enjoyed it very much!!

Although we already told you during the trip, we would like to emphasize again the professional level of Triet, our guide in the south. Perfect Spanish level, lots of knowledge, experience and was very helpful at all times. The rest of the guides were also good but not at the same level.

We would also like to thank you for your efforts to ensure that all the guides were Spanish speaking, specially to get Anh to accompany us in Ha Noi and Sa Pa, it's true she doesn't have the experience of other guides but she's very willing to work in a helpful way and always with a smile ????

The schedules, content and overall professionalism of the staff involved have been very positive.

We would like to higligh only two "negative" aspects:

Pelican Cruise Ha Long: the ship was more than correct, we understand that thanks to your initiative we were given the best room and we thank you very much!! But, as already mentionned to you and for your consideration for future bookings, we think you should know that the level of catering was rather low, it lacked a lot of quality.

Transfer Sa Pa - Ha Noi: we knew from the beginning that it was a shared transfer, but we still expected it to be up to par with the rest of the contracted services. In this case it arrived 40 minutes late, with the driver assuring Anh that we were going to be the first to be picked up and he arrived late with the van already loaded with passengers. The maintenance of the van was lousy: our seats were permanently reclined, water was falling from the ceiling in our area, the air conditioning vents were broken, everything was noisy, and the driver was by far the worst we had on the whole trip.

The next day, to travel to Ha Long and back from the cruise the transfer was done with a van completely the same, but in good condition and with a punctual driver and driving as it should be.

It is not a complaint, we simply inform you because, as colleagues in the sector, we understand that it is good to transmit what does not work in order to improve for the future.

We insist in thanking you for your help and predisposition so that everything went well, we enjoyed the trip so much!!!

As promised we have rated Authentik Vietnam both on Google and Tripadvisor positively, we are very happy with the treatment received ??

Looking forward to next year, there is still time and we have to finish evaluating other options, but we are seriously considering traveling to Cambodia and Laos, obviously we will count on you to help us manage it ????

Thank you very much for everything!!!!!!!

See you soon!!!!

We found this agency through the good reviews on the internet and were not disappointed.

From the start, we were impressed by their professionalism. We chose a 7 night stay to visit Northern Vietnam. We were impressed with the details provided on our future stay. Everything was clear and precise.

When arriving on site, we were taken care of by an excellent driver. We appreciated his caution. The French-speaking guide took care of us as well.

And then the welcome during our visit to the agency; we really felt how important each customer were to them. As for the hotels, they meet our 4-star criteria; they were perfect.

In short, we're fully satisfied and will do business with this agency next year to visit another part of Vietnam.

This was our second time traveling with Authentik Travel and we feel them already very close to our family because every time, every second step from our trip was just perfectly organized! We would like to strongly recommend them and to wish them to keep this spirit of being among the best!

Wonderful trip with Authentik Vietnam.

Very great professionalism on their part, perfect organization, very competent and punctual French-speaking guides, careful drivers, super comfortable cars, very good choice of hotels, restaurants, homestay meals and judicious tours, in line with our expectations.

I want to thank Stéphanie for her responsiveness, her skills and her kindness for the organization of this personalized couple tour that met all the criteria we wanted.

It's a perfect tailor-made service with prices adapted to customer choices.

Do not hesitate, they're really a very serious agency which knows how to adapt to all your requests. Perfect!!

My family of 7 pax, including 2 elderly 70 and above, 2 children 9 and 15, had a wonderful experience with Authentik last week.

Our first stop was at Authentik's office where we were given a warm welcome and got to meet the various staff who helped us arrange our trip. Hoang Dinh helped us plan a 7 nights IT that covered Halong Bay, Cao Bang (Ban Gioc Waterfalls) and Ba Be Lake. Heanswered all our concerns prior to the trip, including sending pictures of accommodation and the sights we would be seeing.

The driver Diep assigned to us was careful on the snaking mountain roads, and our guide Tien was most informative, attentive and accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed staying at homestays and boutique hotels and eating authentic Vietnamese food at local restaurants. Other than the sights of waterfalls, caves and lakes, we enjoyed Tien's guided walk through a local village.

More than anything, we felt we had a taste of authentic Vietnam with Authentik, and enjoyed every moment of it. Thanks to all the staff for helping us arrange this fantastic trip!

Mr. Hoang Dinh from Authentik Travel helped me get a tourist visa for Vietnam and it was an excellent service!

He was quick with his responses via email and got me the visa in two days. Thank you so much Hoang Dinh!

It was a very enriching first family trip to Northern Vietnam thru' Authentic Vietnam Travel.

We gotten recommendations from friends to contact Mr Hoang and started our Itinerary discussion. Mr Hoang was very responsible, fast response and making changes to my suggestion too.

Everything was settle fast! The trip started with a very pleasant Birthday celebration planned together for my gal on the first day and the rest of the trip was smooth and enjoying. Everyone was so friendly and warm.

Hotel at Ninh Binh and Sapa were fantastic and we love it!

Overall it was a very worthy trip and not mention making a lot of new friends! I will definitely recommend Authentic Vietnam Travel to my friends who plans to visit Vietnam for their excellent service

We had reserved 14 days for an discovery off the beaten track.

We were delighted to meet our Hoa, the advisor at the Hanoi agency who welcomed us very well as did his colleagues.

The organization was fine and that allowed us to get carried away and put the stress aside. The guides were perfectly bilingual, friendly and had good advice. The drivers always on time ;)

We advise that you do not hesitate to ask to be accompanied by Hà for the North of the Country (which was our favorite region).

We trusted Authentik Vietnam and we were not disappointed!

Everything was perfect: the discovery, the guides, the drivers, the organization, the meals... Totally everything!

We met our contact at the Hanoi agency and greeted the rest of the team.

You can put your trust in them on a discovery trip!
