clients' reviews

Good evening Tu,

Firstly, a big thank to you for the photos: it seems at once so close and already so far!

In response to your request, here are my personal impressions of this wonderful trip. Of course you know that our good king Jean organized our meeting and it was he who took the "risk" of choosing you!

For my part it will be difficult for me now to integrate a classic travel agency, because the quality of the services you offered us was very frankly awsome.

I really enjoyed being able to visit the northern villages while spending time with families, and for a moment, feel close to them.
The restaurants were well chosen: alternating between popular restaurants where we have an impression of sharing with Vietnamese and the resto in the evening when we played the "tourists" ... ..
The hotels were very luxurious and each day was perfect and enjoyable.

Regarding the vehicles there are no more reproaches possible (fresh water very popular) the only downside could concern roads that you have not had time to redo, your improvements on this side there are therefore to predict.
The overall impression that emerges after a month of this circuit, for me, is to have felt both "motherhood" so safe and at the same time free (with Monique we keep a memory of our trip in rickshaw motorcycle!).

You responded exactly to the demand I had: to see classical Vietnam with the unavoidable visits, to understand the history of this country with cultural religious political influences and to have a feeling of authenticity at times: all in three weeks!

I hope that from your side you have not had too much trouble adapting to this group of curious little old people who want to stay fit to continue to open their eyes to other ways of life, and others wonderful landscapes .
I promised you to talk about it around me and I hope to convince some  to follow.

Hello and thank you for your messages and photos that I could not open but tonight I could admire them. I did not communicate with the group because since my return, I was very busy.

But here are my remarks:

I am totally willing to use the services of the local agencies directly because I think it makes more money for the locals that we visit and as they know their country is easier to have a trip "Made to measure", which you knew how to organize perfectly. I especially enjoyed the northern mountains although I liked everything as well as walking (Vietnam and Cambodia) or by bike, I would have liked more. The hotels were perfect and I did not expect so much luxury and yet I have already traveled a lot! The food was excellent and the decor of the dishes which delighted me; I was happy to have tasted the goat, the rat, the dog and the massage session: thank you for these initiatives. The discovery of the Danang museum was a great moment of aesthetic emotion and I was very moved that you offer us incense sticks in the small French soldiers' cemetery in Dien Bien Phu: as I was a teacher history I read a lot of books about it and I found interesting the way you exposed this topic. The guide for Ankhor was a warm lady and as anxious as you to share her knowledge and love for her country. My only regret is that I did not remain one day more at liberty in Hanoi, Saigon and Pnom Penh because a country is also discovered by walking nose in the wind in the cities.

> You can be sure that I will give your address to the people around me who want to go to Vietnam
> What I have most appreciated is: YOUR ATTENTION TO OUR DESIRES AND YOUR WISHING WILL TO SHARE TO YOU YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND I CAN ENSURE YOU HAVE GOT IT.
> I hope to be able to make the friendly guide for you in my French region when you come 

Hope to hear from you soon

We are a small group of friends who have chosen in recent years to travel by contacting local agencies directly.

It was while reading a forum of travelers that we contacted the agency AuthentikVietnam. Happy choice! Our 22-day tour of Vietnam and Cambodia was ideal. Transportation, accommodation, choice of restaurants everything was perfectly organized.

We had his director Ngoc Tu Dinh as a guide. Not only does he have a deep knowledge of his country, his history, his ethnicities, and the sites, but in addition to his availability and kindness. If one adds to that his perfect mastery of the language one can give him the palm of best guide-organizer.

Hello,

It's already been a year since we made our wonderful trip to Vietnam that left us indelible traces. Thanks to you we discovered the northern region, Sapa, Ha Giang ... in ideal conditions because very quickly you have recognized our expectations. What an experience to work in the rice fields! What a great moment to share a funeral ceremony by chance in the mountains ...

We also often think about these evenings spent together over a drink where you told us about your country  which is also mine and which I approached.
I see that today, the conditions of peace between Vietnam and China are fragile. I hope with all my heart that your people will not suffer further aggression. I know you're active
We will definitely be back soon and do not forget to talk to you about it!

See you soon

After making a first tour from north to south across Vietnam, we wanted to explore in more detail the north of the country with its beautiful natural sites and so endearing different ethnic groups .

We then addressed Mr. Tu ... for our greatest satisfaction!
During our 3-week trip from east to west in his company, we had the opportunity to appreciate his excellent knowledge of these regions as well as these ethnic groups to which Mr. Tes shows the greatest respect.

Finally, he really cared for both of us.
It is with enthusiasm that we recommend its services!

If I had been able to make this trip to a smaller committee and not on an organized trip, it would have been even better. Even though we were many, you managed the group in a perfect way, the atmosphere of the group happy because you were very open, but you also knew to show authority so that everyone has the respect of the other. All schedules during the tour have been respected and the choices wise.

Being an organized trip and being numerous, we could not choose our restaurants, only inconvenience, but otherwise it was good anyway. Feel free to ask to eat in less conventional restaurants to enjoy all the richness and variety of Vietnamese cuisine and dare to eat local.
We were able to appreciate your great availability, your eternal good humor, your excellent cultural level and your exceptional command of the French language.

Your humor has seduced us a lot and your comments are always clear and precise.
In addition, you sing very well, yes, it's true.

I rediscovered my childhood country and also discovered beautiful places not accessible before because of the war.
This return to the sources is unforgettable and I can not wait to return as soon as possible to rediscover other places that I could not visit for lack of time.
I will not hesitate to call on your services and recommend to all those who want their trip to be the most successful and will forever be engraved in their memory.
None of your questions will remain unanswered because Mr. TU always finds the right answer!

All these compliments are sincere.
We wish you all the success you deserve and your site is very well done.
With all our friendship and best memory, hoping to see you again next year.

Dear Tu,
This trip to Vietnam was wonderful especially thanks to you who were so attentive to us every day and always with a smile.
We have known a lot about the history of the country that you know perfectly, about rice culture, the life of the people and their customs.
There was a very good atmosphere in the bus and you sang the song of ADAMO TOMBE LA NEIGE so well; speaking of song I did not know it was MARC LAVOINE who sang HELLO VIETNAM, a beautiful song
We keep a beautiful memory of this trip.
I hope your little family is fine and the boy has grown well I think he was a few months
Hello to the driver from us who was very kind.

FRIENDSHIPS
SYLVIANE AND DANIEL ODENT

Hello Mr.Tu ,

Hoping you're fine.
Just a few lines to thank you, on behalf of all my family, for your precious help during our stay in Hanoi / Ninh Binh, not to mention the missed cruise on Halong Bay, due to the tropical storm.
We really appreciated your good mood, your kindness and your availability.

We will keep an excellent memory. When we have sorted the photos, we will send you a few.

Regards,
Maï Bazinet

Ciao Tu,

While listening to Vietnamese music brought in our suitcase, I write these lines to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to Vietnam.
You have been a wonderful guide who has had the gift of passionate about the old and long history of this country which is yours and always with great kindness.
What a wealth!

Congratulations and continue ... you are young, passionate and it feels.
I hope that the other group that will succeed (if this is not already done ...), will appreciate as much as all of us ... they do not know yet the chance they have!
Maybe you will come to France one day?
So do not hesitate to contact us, we would be very happy to see you again and to help you.

Our return to France went well, but with some fears all the same between Hanoi and Kuala Lampur. Great turbulence that caused us a very important air hole, something we had never known at this point, during our few trips and which have obviously sown panic for some; I thought we were going to "get off the hook"
Thank you for everything and maybe see you soon

Hello,

With a lot of delay, Mom and I thank you for this wonderful stay in Vietnam (early October) that we spent thanks to you, your availability and your kindness.

You have shared with us the love and pride you feel for your country and we returned to France with a head full of beautiful pictures and beautiful memories that made us dream for a long time.

In France, we arrive at the holiday season: Christmas and New Year's Day, which allows us to gather with family or friends to celebrate these events.
This is a new year that will begin for us on January 1st and, on this occasion, we wish you a very happy and very happy new year.

Will we have the pleasure of seeing you again in Paris? I hope so.
See you soon, Tu.

Christine and Yvette
