The guide was very skilled and friendly, a valuable addition to fully enjoy the city's beauty.
Wonderful experience; the trip that this local agency organized for us in Vietnam and Cambodia! We can only infinitely thank the professionalism, formality, and kindness they provided us throughout the tour! From their warm and comforting welcome at their headquarters in Hanoi to the close and heartfelt farewell at Siem Reap airport! I must emphasize that they arranged the tour with a driver and Spanish-speaking guide exclusively for the two of us! Maximum punctuality in the excursions and scheduled visits, as well as free mineral water service during all transfers! Magnificent design of the trip, starting from the north of the country, going down the central coast, passing through the Mekong Delta, and ending in Ho Chi Minh before flying to Cambodia to conclude this fabulous journey through Asian lands! Thank you, Keyra and Camila, for making us feel at home more than ten thousand kilometers from our home!! If you are going to travel to Southeast Asia, do not hesitate; Horizon Vietnam Travel is your agency!!

I am very happy with the trip organized in Vietnam with Horizon. All the operators were excellent, available, and well-prepared: excellent guides in Italian, drivers, and travel operators (Horizon) who supported us even during difficult and unpleasant unforeseen events. A special thanks to the doctors at the Vinmec tourist clinic who treated me and allowed me to continue my journey in a beautiful country like Vietnam.
Wonderful journey. Perfect organization. The guides were great, always available for our needs. Ms. Camellia was very professional.
