    We had an excellent and memorable trip visiting Vietnam from North to South with Authentic, including Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta in Ho Chi Minh, Ba Na Hills in Danang, the very scenic Ha Long Bay and Hanoi. Mr. Son and Ms. Hang offered excellent services and were very hospitable throughout our visit. Transportation was on time and we didn't have any issues with the tours. Our experience was enhanced after upgrading to 4-star hotels and 5-star cruise. A big thank you to Mr. Son and Ms. Hang for your close attention and making sure everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend Authentic Adventures to anyone wishing to tour Vietnam. YY&Hon T
