Hello,

We have returned to France. We were very happy with the organization of the trip. Everything went very well, and the logistics organization was perfect! The guides were very good and spoke good French. The only "downside" is that we visited a lot of pagodas / temples, that was interesting but the cultural dimension was a little too developed. For example, we did not visit the museum Cham because we preferred to stop longer and frequently on the road by motorbikes.

We particularly enjoyed the choice of places with few tourists, it is very appreciated. No problem with hotels, the worst being that of Ninh Binh where we had more hot water in the morning.

One suggestion might be to give restaurants’ addresses for dinner as well but we found very good addresses thanks to our guides.
I sincerely thank you for this organization and I will give your details to my father who has a project to travel to Vietnam with friends next year.

Best regards

Sebastien Tran

We organized with friends, a bit at the last moment, a week-long trip to Vietnam, late April - early May.

The initial option was to share our time between a few days in Ho Chi Minh City and Hue. We had to give up Hue given the impossibility of finding a place of plane or train between the 2 cities.

Authentik Vietnam organized a trip of very good quality: Mr. Ding Ngoc Tu very well adapted to the situation, showed a lot of flexibility and we organized a very good stay despite the very short deadlines: good steps, excellent guide, permanent service, all for a reasonable price.
I can only recommend this agency to travelers planning a trip to Vietnam.

Hello,

I hope you and your team are well. Thierry and I thank you for this authentic stay that you organized. Everything was good: the 5 guides (Zung, Hue, Chang for Vietnam and Sampol and Savorne for Cambodia) that we had were very pleasant and always answered very nicely to our questions. They made us share their way of life and explained to us a lot of things on very different themes: religion, food, children, family, marriage, work ... And that we liked very much because it is very interesting to discover the country and its people.

All the regions of Vietnam as well as Cambodia really liked us. It was a total change of scenery. The tours were always well organized, the chosen hotels were very clean and the meals provided in the restaurants made us discover a very varied and very good cuisine. For our free evening meals, our guides told us good restaurants.

We really enjoyed the bike rides that allowed us to be close to the population as well as the train trip which was very authentic! We also enjoyed the meal, the folk dances and the night at this very nice Thai lady.

Thierry, Jean-Paul and I thank you again for all this as well as for your kindness and your availability. We have lots of beautiful memories in mind.
What is certain is that we will recommend your agency to all those who ask us for advice.
We wish long and prosperous to your agency.
We may meet again for another stay.

Hello Mr. Tran,

We thank you very much for your gesture. We are eternally grateful to you for this discovery. We loved Vietnam and we will recommend you to all our friends. We also want to thank our guide Mr Minh, he made us discover Vietnam with a certain vision of wisdom and knowledge. This is an extraordinary guide.
We hope to return soon, in any case, to visit the north.
A thousand thanks

Hello Mr Tu,

We have been back for a week and we wanted to show you our full satisfaction after our stay in Vietnam.
The three regions north, center and south are both very beautiful and very different, a real change of scenery with very nice people.
The tour was very balanced, the hotels well placed in the center of the cities, the cautious and punctual drivers and the guides of very good level at cultural as well as relational knowledge.
You will be able to transmit to them from us our very good memory.
We will recommend Authentik Vietnam to anyone wishing to visit your beautiful country.
We renew our thanks.
One downside for the guesthouse of Than Uyen which is not advisable.

Dear Tu and Truong,

We have returned to the Basque Country, after a difficult week because of jet lag to digest, and a stay with our children, I finally take the time to thank you. You have prepared a trip according to our wishes, and we have a wonderful memory.

The chosen hotels were all of good quality (with a slight downside for that of Lai Chau)
The tours offered, outside of the touristy places were really what we wanted to see.
Our guides were perfect French – speaking, very erudite us and passionate.
Our meetings with the inhabitants really touched us, we were closer to their way of living.
Of course, the beauty of the landscapes, monuments, towns and villages has filled us.
We have already started talking about your agency around us, and as I told you, we will be happy to serve as correspondents for any inquiries about your services.

Finally, I would really like to thank you with all my heart, for your kindness, your responsiveness and your availability.
We think we have two friends in Vietnam, and if you come to France one day, it is with great joy that we welcome you to discover the beauty of our region.
While waiting for this day, I will not fail to give you news from time to time.
I wish you and your families a happy life and good health.

Very warmly,

Dany and Gerard

We went to Vietnam as a couple in March 2014 with this agency. We can only praise the quality of its service. 1 driver and 1 guide for our stay in the north (Hanoi, country of white thai and Halong Bay), same for the center (Danang, Hue Hoi An) and the same for the south (Saigon and Mekong).
You can trust us as we had confidence in them after also exchanging with French retirees who had already used Authentik Vietnam 2 times before us.
Very nice trip to Vietnam!

Hello,

We are back after a difficult return,
We wanted to thank you for organizing such a nice trip, everything was perfect, the choice of guides, the different receptions for internal flights, train rides and attention at all times. Special mention for Peter at Ho Chi Minh, Khan for the south (we are not sure of the spelling) and Nhung Vu. We had with them a contact more than friendly and very rewarding. For us who did not know Asia, it was a discovery of all times.
Rest assured that we will recommend your agency to all our knowledge wishing to discover this beautiful country
Thank you again, we will have in mind for a long time beautiful images.
Thank you also for the gifts we received, we were very sensitive to this kind attention.

Sincerely,

Annie and Michel Gigord
