Horizon Vietnam organized a custom trip for us to help us discover the authentic and unusual north of Vietnam.

Organized family tour
My family and I took a 20-day organized tour traveling all over Vietnam with a personal guide, and we had a very good time. It was a beautiful experience that we will always carry in our hearts. The rice terraces of Sapa are truly unique.

Serious and reliable agency
Excellent experience with the agency Horizon Vietnam Travel. Great availability and attention, following us throughout our tour even via WhatsApp and also modifying transfers based on our needs. Our guide Nico accompanied us to discover Hanoi, also explaining the history and culture of these people of rare kindness. The initial meeting with the agency was particularly attentive and thoughtful, with a small musical performance, a snack with typical fruits and sweets to immediately immerse us in the atmosphere, and a particularly welcome massage after so many hours of flight
