Craft villages around Hanoi

Tailor-made for our unforgettable trip

We are returning from our 27-day trip to Vietnam. We love traveling around the world, and this is the first time we have used an agency to organize our trip. But Typic Travel is not just any agency; it is an extremely professional agency that offers you a truly unique trip, yours, that will fit you like a glove!
Shortly after the first contact by email, Hung suggested a phone call. He was very attentive, asking every possible question to get to know us as well as possible. And he quickly sent us an initial plan. After further discussions with him, we adjusted our itinerary to focus on the north of the country. Hung took our every request into account. An excellent trip is all about the details, which was 200% the case, as he suggested activities we hadn't thought of that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our 2-week journey in the mountains was exceptional. We discovered landscapes of absolute incredible beauty, and communities with a kindness and hospitality we will never forget.
The homestays and hotels selected by Hung were just perfect, with great comfort and stunning views. The meals served were excellent, introducing us to many unknown flavors.
And then there is our guide Uyen, who accompanied us for 17 days. Uyen is a very professional person with remarkable kindness and benevolence. He made us experience and share his Vietnam. Every encounter, every door he opened allowed us to immerse ourselves a little more in the daily lives of the communities we met. Thanks to him, we experienced moments that will remain etched in our memories, unforgettable slices of life. Discreetly, he always took into account our fitness level for the hikes (especially mine :) ) and our current desires for meals, for taking photos, and for specific purchases. He always had plenty of little thoughtful gestures. For example, one noon he offered for our son to prepare spring rolls (his favorite dish) with our hosts; our son was thrilled! We are truly grateful to him for having shared so many things with us.
We do not forget our driver who accompanied us throughout our stay. Dat is a great professional; his driving on roads sometimes damaged by bad weather was always cautious and calm. His smile and good humor were a real plus. Even if the language barrier prevented us from having real conversations, we laughed a lot together.
Dgia, our second very friendly guide, accompanied us during the last 3 days of our trip. Thanks also to him for the exchanges we had.
In summary, this trip is truly tailor-made because you decide in advance what you want to see and do, and Hung does the rest! This package allows you to be in incredible comfort. So trust Hung, let yourself be guided by Uyen (or another guide) and Dat (or another driver), and enjoy! As my husband and our son say, it is the most exotic trip we have ever taken!
Thanks to Typic Travel for having proposed our unforgettable trip to northern Vietnam.
Thank you, Hung, for having welcomed us upon our arrival and for this beautiful evening before our departure.

A journey that will remain etched in our hearts

That's it, Etienne, we've just boarded the TGV that will take us from Roissy to Nantes. Barbara and I want to thank you and your team for the quality of the organization of this trip. I wanted a beautiful surprise for our wedding anniversary; we were served. The guides are adorable, attentive, responsive, cultured, and sometimes even erudite, as much in love with their respective countries as with a certain attachment to France. This marriage of cultures, even scarred by the wounds of a tortuous past, is of great richness and allowed us to taste this delicious mixture with immense pleasure. The drivers complete the picture: their skill and patience in traffic jams are as many lessons in fair play for the stressed Europeans that we are... they provide daily practicality and availability and ensure a natural fluidity to the sequence of surprises. Thank you for conveying all our thanks to all those who, directly or indirectly, contributed to these rare moments imbued with authentic humanism. Thank you for everything and long live Typic Travel....

Already 4 trips to Vietnam… and still the same emotion!

Hello Tien and your team,
We have returned safely to France and have taken the time to rest after this wonderful trip to Vietnam.

The Hugot family joins Maryse and me in thanking you for putting together such a superb tour, perfectly tailored to our wishes. We had some wonderful encounters, both with the landscapes and the people, and we will forever cherish these magnificent moments in our hearts.

We sincerely thank you for your invitation to rue du Train as well as for the delicious cá chả that we enjoyed in a magnificent setting.
Now regarding the tour, we particularly appreciated: 
  - the guide Vic: she expresses herself well in French and is always attentive to our requests. Although a beginner, she shows perseverance. We are convinced that she will quickly become an excellent guide in the future.
  - the guide Hung: experienced and speaking French very well, he was a very good guide. He knew how to take good initiatives to make the tour smoother and add visits not planned in the program so that we had no downtime.
  - Dac, the driver from the North: we all fell in love with him. Attentive, always available and very kind, he was impeccable in driving the minibus. We never felt unsafe, despite the winding roads and narrow paths taken. He also knew how to choose opportune moments to slow down or stop so that we could take photos along the way. At noon, after the meal, he always offered us different desserts, which we had never tasted, which he had bought in markets or from street vendors.
  - Accommodations : nothing to complain about the different hotels or homestays where we were very well received by the locals and where we ate very well.. 
                                however, we have a small drawback for the homestay YEN NHI : the rooms and the meal were impeccable but the staff, overwhelmed by the massive arrival of motorcyclists, gave us a very cold and smileless welcome, far from the warmth encountered in other homestays. In addition, the evening was very noisy, once the young motorcyclists had too much to drink. We believe that this establishment should be avoided for elderly tourists or families. 
Once again, a big thank you for organizing this magnificent trip, which will remain etched in our memories.
As usual, we will not hesitate to recommend your services to our entourage.
We look forward to exchanging with you again for future tours in Vietnam or Cambodia-Laos.
See you soon in Vietnam or France,
Adam & Hugot
