  • An unforgettable 8-day journey through Vietnam! From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the peaceful beauty of Ninh Binh,

    Voyage01395072846,Jul 25, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    5.00

    I just returned from the most incredible 8-day trip to Vietnan and I can honestly say it was nothing short of magical. From the buzzing energy of Hanoi, to the breathtaking karsts of Halong Bay, every day brought a new wonder. Hanoi welcomed me with vibrant street life, delicious food, and warm, curious people. It was the perfect gateway to the rest of the trip. A short ride to Ninh Binh—often called the “Halong Bay on land”—offered serene boat rides, lush rice paddies, and cinematic views I’ll never forget. But the highlight of my journey was Sapa. Trekking through the hill villages, I was mesmerized by the landscapes and touched by the warmth of the local people. Each step through the misty mountains felt like walking through a dream. The train ride to Fansipan, the “Roof of Indochina,” was surreal—cool, calm, and above the clouds. And yes… I went to TEN different spas across my route—each one better than the last! From herbal steam baths in Sapa to luxurious massages in Hanoi, Vietnam has officially spoiled me. I came home feeling refreshed, grounded, and deeply in love with this country. So much so, I’m seriously considering moving to Vietnam. The culture, the lifestyle, the beauty—this trip changed something in me. The only low point was the Saoviet Bus Line. Their customer service was disorganized, rude, and frankly disappointing—a stark contrast to the genuine hospitality I received everywhere else. I would definitely recommend finding alternative transport providers. Vietnam, you’ve captured my heart. I’ll be back—maybe for good.

    Thankyou to Authentic for a truly fantastic tour of Vietnam. Everything was very well organized from airport pick ups, hotels and tours. Tour guides and drivers were great, ok in Hanoi, Sunday in Halong Bay, Tommy in Ho Chi Minh. Nothing is too much trouble and if you want to alter the itinerary in any way just call your agent, ours was Son who kept us informed all the time and handled all our questions/ changes, efficiently to our satisfaction always wanting to make sure everything is perfect. There are some long days on the tour but they are well, worth it and without the guides, you would miss a lot of what the places have to offer, especially some of the included restaurants they take you, the food was amazing.

  • The best friends you can have, when traveling in Vietnam.

Most of all it was nice that everything was arranged for us by Authentic. In that way we didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to relax this tour. Next year we will definitely travel again with you!
