Just back from an absolutely amazing 11-day fam trip to Vietnam with Travel Authentic Asia, and honestly, what a trip!
We packed so much into the 11 days, visiting Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay, Hue and Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), and every place had something completely different to offer.
From the incredible scenery and fascinating history, to the food, culture and all the little experiences along the way, Vietnam really did not disappoint.
One of the best parts of the trip was getting to experience the hotels, excursions and local experiences first-hand. It’s so valuable to be able to see things for myself and know that when I recommend something to my clients, I’ve actually experienced it too.
And I have to give a huge shoutout to our guides. They were absolutely brilliant. So knowledgeable and passionate, but also so friendly and welcoming. They really brought each place to life with their stories and knowledge of the history, culture and everyday life in Vietnam. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they genuinely wanted us to have the best time.
Vietnam honestly exceeded my expectations. The people were so welcoming, the food was amazing, the scenery was incredible and there was always something new to see or experience.
I’ve come home with a very full camera roll, lots of amazing memories and even more excitement about putting together some fantastic Vietnam holidays for my clients.
A truly unforgettable trip and somewhere I’ll definitely be recommending!
Vietnam, you were incredible. ️
Now I just need to figure out how I can go back! ️

This was one of the most efficient and action packed travel adventures I have ever experienced. I would HIGHLY recommend calling Travel Authentic Asia. From start to finish their staff could not have been more accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. Our trip was that fantastic mix of fun and cultural. There was nothing that I would have taken out of their well planned trip and we definitely would not have experienced all that we did without their help.

Where to start!? Maya and her team were absolutely stunning to work with. From first contact over a year ago, to the trip in Vietnam over the past few weeks, we can only sing the praises of Travel Authentic Asia. No detail was missed, and this personalised tour for us was very competitively priced. The tour has been seamless with transfers and excellent English speaking guides. We opted for 4 star hotels just to save a bit, but we were very impressed with the quality. The cruise on the second to last night was sublime! We will be using Maya again in the future for our Asian travel. Thanks so much for the trip of a lifetime. Xxxx
