Incredible experience - Love it - Absolutely amazing experience. Would recommend for anyone coming into Vietnam. Mr Tran and his team were very accomodating and showed us all the best spots for photos and views. They allowed us to travel with confidence. The only regret we had was not booking a longer tour!

Amazing tour around the Northern part of Viet Nam - Mr. Tran from Authentic Adventures organised for us an excellent custom-made tour in the Northern Part of Viet Nam. Everything was well sought-after from hotels, to car, from places to visit, to activities. These were well varied and allowed us to get in touch with the culture and people of the Northern part of Viet Nam. Every day we could discover and enjoy something new. Days were full, but at a good pace. We were very well taken care of and spoiled. The driver was careful and the guide attentive and they were both always on time and smiling and Mr. Tran was always carefully making sure, that everything was up to our expectations (thank you). We will choose Authentic Adventures and Mr. Tran as tour operator when we come back to Viet Nam in a heartbeat.

beautiful valley - Fabulous trip from Mai Chau, Pu Luong. Beautiful valley among high mountains with terraced paddy fields. Locals harvesting rice by hand - extremely hard work, even in November hot too. I would stay here I preference to Mai Chau as tourism is rushing in, and perhaps sadly there is now a road into the main village, Don.
