clients' reviews

It's been a month since our return and we're still there in our thoughts and dreams.

We entrusted our 2014 end-of-year trip to the Authentik Vietnam agency which knew how to highlight each of our wishes to be closer to our Vietnamese friends.
Mr Tu, the guides and the drivers accompanied us throughout our journey. We shared unforgettable and warm moments.

Quality of the perfect services as well as remote organization were very pleasant and very reactive for all questions.
Without hesitation, we are ready to go back to Laos or Burma via Authentik Vietnam.

Reliable agency, they are reliable people. They offer you a tailor-made trip, according to your requests, and what interests you, and your desired comfort level.
We traveled with them in December 2014. Their guides are French speaking, knowledgeable and very friendly.
We have traveled to 2 couples (35 / 40years), and they really managed everything. We felt perfectly taken in hand.
We highly recommend them.

Hello Truong,

I take the time to send you a note, we are well back "a little tired" it is normal as well had to tell you I had a small health problem that did not last.
We are very happy with our stay in Vietnam, it is a beautiful country where there is a lot to see, I did not return a questionnaire that of Cambodia I lost it, here we also had good guides of course some did not have a perfect French but it is practicing that one improves.  The restaurants you picked us were really good as well as the lovely our guides, we will recommend Authentik Vietnam around us.

Just a little thing I said to the last guide, as we stayed for three weeks and we had already seen a lot of Temples and Pagodas, I would have liked to have a full day to go on a the beautiful beaches between Hue and Hoian "we wanted to swim"

Sincerely,

Monique and Patrick

Hello sir,

We had a great stay
The least: the visit of the crocodile farm and the city in which the farm is.
Most: competent guides, available and attentive (all offered small gifts to our children), a program corresponding to our expectations, the quality of the restaurants chosen by your agency and the quality of hotels ... a great welcome from of your entire team.
This is the third time we have been using a travel agency for private tours in Asia and we have appreciated the seriousness and quality of your services.
If we are to return to Vietnam, we will definitely call on you.

Best regards

Hello,

In addition to the evaluation sheet that I filled I wanted to thank you personally for organizing our stay which was perfect. The guides "Hugo", Van, Viet, Quoc had a perfect French and were attentive and efficient in everything. The very professional drivers in this destabilizing traffic for us .... The chosen circuits was perfectly respected. I am now under the snow ... and regret the welcome and the climate of your beautiful country. Thanks again. 

Best regards

Dear Mr. Tu,

I found my French life fully when I returned and I promised myself to write to you to tell you how much I had enjoyed this trip, which for me was a homecoming and the discovery of places I could not know in the years 1956.1957.1958 for the historical reasons that we know.

I found the landscapes, the scents, the kindness of the inhabitants despite the changes, the misfortunes that have occurred since ... and it is with great emotion that I lived this trip and discovered a Viet-Nam in full expansion I knew, because I am the news, but I could see it, which made me happy. Of course I only aspire to one thing, it come back as soon as it will be possible.

Your organization has been perfect, the reception has always been very friendly, the guides have been excellent. I will remember Mr. Dung in Hanoi, Halong Bay and the north, Ms. May who made us visit the ethnographic museum and their in-depth knowledge of the subject for a long time. The driver Mr. HA was perfectly kind and thoughtful despite the linguistic barrier.Madame Thao in the Center in Hue and Hoi An very competent too.Mr. Thinh accompanied us to Dac Lak and Dalat with Mr. Ba the driver. In the south I really appreciated Mrs. Phung and Mr. Kiet the driver very available. I had a good time and learned a lot with Ms. Phung, who also accompanied us to the Mekong Delta.

In Siem Reap, Cambodia Mr. Rat the driver and Mrs. Khatna were perfect. The visits to Angkor Wat were very informative and enjoyable. In Laos Mrs Thit guided us in Vientiane and the visits were very informative. In Luang Prabang we had 2 guides both of them were very competent and pleasant (Ott and Someton).
The hotels were perfect, the worst was at Lac Lak but it's really a retail affair ......

The homestays were very good and comfortable enough. All visits were perfect. When I come back I would like a little more visits close to the economic reality of the country, more homestays away from tourist sites.

In conclusion I come back with a strong desire to come back, I will recommend your agency to friends and acquaintances for his seriousness, his organization (no false note) everyone was very punctual.

The only thing that has caused me any problem is this tradition of gratuities that is not made easier when you often change your guide and driver. But that I think is difficult to solve. I think Régine will answer you as well. My brother sends you his good memories because he keeps with his wife an excellent memory of you.

Sincerely, I wish you good luck in your business.

Mr. Josée

Good evening Mr. Tu,

We have been very touched by your kind attention for us and thank you from your heart for your kindness. Thanks to you, we had a wonderful holiday and met great people. We will keep a beautiful souvenir of your beautiful country in our heart and mind. Maybe we will come back for a new getaway or ask you to visit a new country like Burma.

Know that we are going to make a beautiful advertisement for Authentik Vietnam and all its services (we have already started with the few French that we met at the end of our excursions),

We wish you a very happy new year 2015 for you and your loved ones.

However, if you come to France, we will receive you at home with the greatest pleasure.

Thanks again and see you on the web very soon.

Hello, 

The trip you organized with our 4 great guides and drivers was great on all levels. I will not fail to praise the professionalism of your agency with people who would be interested in taking a trip to your wonderful country "Vietnam". 

Cordially, 

Monique Chassagneux 

Hello Mr. Tu,

We would like to thank you for this wonderful discovery of your country.
We will keep an excellent memory of our guide TUAN in North Vietnam, always playful, listening to us, and very available. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions in Halong Bay, we appreciated your commercial gesture regarding the lunch offered in counterpart. However, as you know, the friendliness of the proposed restaurant is not recommended, mainly from the manager of the restaurant (no complaints however about the quality of the kitchen). Day in Halong Bay, unforgettable land as well as the night homestay in Mai Chau. (very friendly owners).

Regarding our second guide, Mr CAT, we would have liked a little more dynamism, listening and availability on his part. He was very rich in culture, but too oriented for pagodas and temples. Visit of Hoian was very appreciated.

Finally, with TIN for our last stop, superb discovery of the South. We will keep a great memory of our guide and the Mekong Delta. (Very rich and intense days in activity). Note however a clarification for the night at the inhabitant, the owners should improve the quality of their breakfast and the bar, but do not change anything about their welcome and their cuisine.

For our part, we slept in the Garden section, no complaints, (which may not be the case for our friends who slept in the main house).
We thank you for the choice by your Agency of hotels and especially restaurants (quality of the kitchen and the very pleasant surroundings).

Rest assured that we will recommend the quality and seriousness of your services to our acquaintances who would like to visit your beautiful country.
Many thanks for your kindness.
We wish you a very merry Christmas and a very happy holiday season.
