Best bucket destination

Da Nang & Hoi An, Vietnam

Da Nang and Hoi An are among my absolute favorite destinations in Vietnam. This region boasts fine white-sand beaches, an incredibly vibrant nightlife, and excellent transportation. At night, Hoi An becomes magical with the glow of lanterns, where ancient yellow houses stand side by side along the beautiful and deeply romantic Hoai River.

Great local experience

Local Train Vietnam

I experienced a train journey from Northern to Central Vietnam when I was just 15 years old, which remains my most memorable childhood travel experience. As the North-South train crossed different regions of the country, I watched the view transition from bustling, traffic-packed cities to rolling mountain ranges, sun-scorched rocky terrains, and eventually the breathtaking mountain passes and cool blue seas of Central Vietnam. With every stop at a station, I had the chance to taste local delicacies and listen to regional dialects. My journey ended in Hue, and my goal now is to take this train ride again and go all the way to the South, to Ho Chi Minh City

My memorable trip

Central Vietnam

My most unforgettable trip was a 12-day journey through Central Vietnam and the Central Highlands with my university department, where I majored in Tourism. We started our journey by bus from Hanoi, stopping in Nghe An, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Hue, Hoi An, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Dak Lak, Da Lat, and Nha Trang, before flying back to Hanoi at the end. This trip brought me immense cultural experiences, historical insights, and connections with local people. Being Vietnamese doesn't mean that these lands can't surprise me, even on a second or third visit. Over those 12 days, I made so many wonderful memories with friends, and since we stayed at the best hotels in each destination, it is truly unforgettable.

My favourite hotel

The Empyrean Nha Trang, Vietnam

I highly recommend the 5-star hotel, The Empyrean Nha Trang. This was the final hotel I stayed at during my 12-day trip with my classmates. It features gorgeous ocean views, a grand and upscale lobby, and the breakfast options were truly impressive

Sustainable Travel

Hanoi Hilton, Vietnam

I have a habit of purchasing local specialties as gifts for my loved ones after my travels. Besides food, I often buy handmade items such as bags, scarves, and decorative pieces to support the livelihoods of the local artisans

What my clients say

Fantastic 15 days in Vietnam

Mar 2026 • Couples

We just returned from our fantastic 15 day trip and we truly owe much of that experience to Candace. From the very first inquiry all the way through ro the end of our journey, she was incredibly attractive, responsive and thoughtful. Candace brought a genuine personal touch to every step and everything ran smoothly and it was clear how much effort she had put into organizing every detail. Without her support, our trip simply wouldn't have been as successful or as memorable as it was. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip. Thank you again for making our Vietnam trip so special!

Amazing trip!

Oct 2025 • Solo

I had an amazing time in Vietnam with the trip designed by Candace. She customized the trip to my preferences targeting activities that would meet my expectations! She texted me every night to tell me what to expect for the next day. She was really responsive and would try to find solutions when activities where cancelled because of the weather. It was a good way to travel for the first time in Asia as I did not know what to expect at all. Overall great experience, I recommend this agency to anyone who feels overwhelmed organizing a trip in a foreign country!

Excellent, definitely recommend

Jan 2026 • Friends

Very good travel agency for Vietnam tour. We took 11 days 10 nights package for 3 couples from them. All arrangements were done by Candace & were very good. She gave very good service and quick response for any queries & any sudden requirement in the itenerary. Hotels were good in Hanoi & Ho chi Minh with good breakfast. In Sapa rooms were small on second floor but without lift... that was the issue. breakfast at Danang & Sapa was not good for vegetarians...but at Sapa they provided us with corn flakes & milk...but at Danang we vegetarians didn't get anything good for breakfast on request too... unfortunately we stayed for 3 nights there. Dinner at Indian restaurant was included in the package ant it was excellent at all the places for 10 nights with variety like starters, 2 varieties of bread like roti, kulcha, 2 curries, dal, 2 rice varieties, curd, dessert, icecream...we just feasted.Driver's & guide service was excellent...they were very much care taking like family. Overall everything was good from Asia Authentic Travel company & we definitely recommend it.

15 days - the best of Vietnam

Mar 2026

I booked this tour only a week before we arrived. But Candace ensured that everything was arranged and sorted for us, she helped us with visa’s and ensured everything was a fantastic experience for us. My highlight was Sa Pa and Ha Long bay, the hills covered with rice paddies and spectacular views was simply beautiful. You will need a jacket as it was a little cool in Sa Pa, but we found the prices for clothing and bags were cheapest here.The overnight cruise on Ha Long bay was great. I honestly wish I had stayed longer.Overall the tour did squeeze a lot in but it was worth it and didn’t feel too rushed.I’d definitely book with this company again
