We spent 12 absolutely brilliant days from north to south - Hanoi Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - Water puppet theater / Rowboat ride on the Ngo Dong river in the rice paddies of the terrestrial Ha Long Bay / Costa Cruise in Lan Ha Bay – We have a royal suite / Lantern boat ride on the ‘Thu Bon’ river - show about the history of Hoi An / Imperial and Forbidden City and the emperor's park in Hue / The floating market on the Mekong --- And all this with superb guides and cars with drivers
Very good experience, I recommend it, really great, thank you for everything.
Very beautiful original experience, very beautiful music, and a very pleasant show.
Very good guide. Interesting activities. Very warm welcome at the agency.
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!
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.
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.
During the visit of Hanoi, discover the water puppet theatre, cultural heritage. Perfect with kids.
The show is naive but we admire the dexterity of the puppeteers!
