    We spent 20 amazing days touring Vietnam. We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children. All our booking were made through Authentic Adventures. Our contact was Son who was absolutely amazing. He organized everything from the transport to the airline tickets, tours, accommodation. Everything ran timeously and without any incident. Vietnam was such an amazing place from the food to the people as well as the country as a whole. The whole tour was informative, interesting and all in all a great experience. I highly recommend Tran at Authentic adventures Vietnam and will certainly use their services in the future.

    Our family, hailing from Sri Lanka, relied on them to plan our visit. Mr Tran, a key member of their team, guided us through the entire trip planning process. His dedication and efficiency ensured we made the most of our time in Vietnam, without any uncertainties about what to do next. He was quick to respond to all our queries during the planning and execution of our 20 days, demonstrating excellent customer care. All the services promised were delivered promptly and met our expectations, with no hidden charges. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour agent in Vietnam to anyone planning to travel there.
