puppet show on the water

A show that is both humorous and poetic, which pleased the whole family. It is a traditional show that we are not used to seeing, a pleasant moment guaranteed!

Very good experience.

We traveled with Horizon Vietnam for 24 days, including 3 days in Laos. They organized a tour for us with a guide and a driver. A WhatsApp account was created by the agency as soon as we departed. We were in contact with Hoai Nhan, who provided us with all the information as well as each guide. We appreciated our first guide Tuan, who spoke French very well and was very attentive to us. We recommend Laos, where we went on a hike in nature and had lunch with a "Red Dao" family. The cities of Sapa, Hue, and Hanoi are the cities we enjoyed. The trip was rich. We recommend Horizon agency.

A journey marked by tranquility

Top-notch female guides. They made us love this country that we did not know. The drivers took great care of us. A stay that was organized masterfully by the Horizon team, where we just had to let ourselves be guided. A flawless trip, highly recommended, even the hotels were top-notch.
