Unique experience! - We wanted to tell a little about our honeymoon experience with elVietnamita and above all with the treatment and professionalism received by the entire team, guides, drivers and of course with Marc. For this special trip, we wanted to have a guide so we could learn about the culture and history of Vietnam and Cambodia. We did Hanoi, Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, Hue, Hoi An and Siem Reap. At first we thought about traditional travel agencies but we didn't like the excursions since they didn't have much flexibility and were very "typical" and we wanted to do something more special and not so touristy apart from the typical ones. I found elVietnamita looking for tour companies in Vietnam and from the beginning we were clear, we had several meetings with Marc where we explained what we liked and what we didn't and he guided us and gave us options to be able to do what in the end has resulted in An exceptional trip without any problem at any time, even being able to make some changes during the trip to adjust it according to our requests. Even due to some problem unrelated to what was contracted, we were able to contact him to help us with some management that was difficult for us to understand due to the language (in some areas they do not speak English). The meals always took us to typical places but not so much for tourists but for locals, which is also appreciated in this type of guided trips. We would like to emphasize to our guides in the different areas (Phoc, Ann, Tuan "Juanito" and Sophat) their professionalism and disposition, in addition to many laughs and anecdotes experienced with them. Also the drivers who were always punctual considering that we had to make several flights during the trip. Therefore, if you want to enjoy a wonderful country without any worries, we recommend it without a doubt. We will repeat for the southern area😊. PS: the motorbike tour through Hanoi is highly recommended!!!

It was an excellent experience!! - We went on this excursion with my whole family, Lan was our guide. In addition to the fact that her attitude and Spanish were excellent, since she was very friendly and always available, the tour was very interesting and very well put together. All the walks were well accompanied, helping those who had more difficulty and they adapted very well to each group. The accommodation and atmosphere was very beautiful and friendly, as were all the people we met there. It was the best tour in Spanish we had on the entire trip to Vietnam. We highly recommend doing this tour, it was a beautiful experience!!

Sapa and Halong 10!!! - Searching the internet we found this agency and it is the best thing that could have happened to us on our trip to Vietnam. We were not very clear about how to organize ourselves and finding this website was very helpful to us. We contacted Marc for the Sapa and Halong excursions and the treatment we received was 10. Super attentive in everything we needed. That contact with him is through WhatsApp makes everything very easy and close. Also highlight our Sapa guide, Lan. Super nice and attentive. We will not hesitate to recommend this agency to anyone who asks us.
