      Este tour se debe hacer tanto se llega a Hanoi porque te explica de que están hechos los platos típicos de la zona y porque el Itenerario es especialmente comida de lugares muy económicos que tal vez no entrarías sin un empujóncito. Rica comida y muy variada.
      Bien organizado!! Recomiendo!!!

      J’ai voyagé avec Asia Master Tours fin septembre et début octobre 2017, durant 10 jours. Nous étions trois et le programme avait été fait sur-mesure par rapport à nos désirs. Nous avons combiné plusieurs types de logement : en famille d’accueil, en hotel, train de nuit,… Nous avons fait un grand circuit à travers le Vietnam. Un séjour rempli de découvertes et de belles rencontres avec les Vietnamiens!

      Nous avons eu un souci avec un hôtel à Hanoi qui n’était pas très propre et Asia Master Tours s’est chargé de nous trouver un autre hôtel plus propre et sans supplément! Bref, l’agence AMT est à l’écoute de ses clients et trouve des solutions ou suggestions même en cours du séjour!
      Nous avons eu un guide d’exception dans le nord du pays. Notre séjour de 10 jours s’est tellement bien déroulé que nous comptons refaire un séjour au Vietnam et Laos fin de cette année 2018

      Même après notre retour au pays, l’agence garde contact avec vous et cherche sans cesse à s’améliorer et écoute nos éventuelles suggestions sur l’organisation.

      AMT est d’ailleurs renseigné sur beaucoup de site de voyage et dans les guides! Le prix est peut-être un peu plus cher qu’ailleurs (ça reste encore à voir) mais j’ai voyagé avec une agence d’expérience et de qualité!
