Our story

Vietnam is not just visited—it is felt. It is a land of contrasts, where the fragrance of temple incense mingles with the energy of modern cities, and where light falls with a unique gentleness over terraced rice fields and the waters of the Mekong Delta. It is in this landscape that Terra Indochina chose to take root.

Based in Hanoi, the agency has built itself on the ground, away from standard circuits. Over nearly twenty years of traveling through the country's regions, the team has developed an in-depth knowledge of itineraries, seasons and local rhythms. From this experience was born a genuine culture of active travel: trekking, hiking, nature stays and encounters with rural communities in both the North and Central regions.

Today, it is Hana and Hong who embody this continuity in their daily work. English-speaking contact for travelers, Hana listens, translates wishes into itineraries, and supports each project from start to finish. Alongside her, Hong and the local team design circuits with the same commitment: to listen, understand, and adjust. Around them, a loyal network of guides, drivers and hosts opens the doors to a more discreet Vietnam, one of mountain trails, ethnic markets and delta villages.

Here, we don't replicate programs. We build trips that reflect who you are.

Terra Indochina is part of the Nomadays collective. This partnership allows you to benefit from direct organization with a local team based in Hanoi, while enjoying secure booking in France: payment in euros, fund protection, APST guarantee and compliance with French tourism law. You thus get the best of both worlds: the proximity of an on-the-ground team and the security of a protective legal framework.

A beautiful journey begins with calm and thoughtful preparation. My role is to listen, advise, and build an itinerary in which every traveler feels comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about the agency

Do you still have questions? Here are the most frequently asked questions about how our agency works.

Terra Indochina designs your trip directly in Vietnam, with advisors who know the ground daily. You avoid intermediaries, gain in responsiveness and benefit from advice on genuinely lived experiences — no standardized marketing catalog.

Plan ideally 2 to 3 months before departure during peak seasons (hotels and guides are scarcer), 1 month is enough for quieter seasons. For last-minute departures, get in touch with us: we'll honestly tell you if we can put together a quality trip within the timeframe.

Yes, 7 days a week throughout your stay. You'll receive a local WhatsApp number + a dedicated emergency contact. Our on-site team can assist within hours in case of unexpected events (cancelled flight, illness, weather changes).

Your payments are 100% protected by the Professional Solidarity Association for Tourism. If a service provider (hotel, transport, etc.) or the agency fails, your funds are refunded. This is a mandatory guarantee for any French travel agency — Nomadays benefits from it across its entire network.

Yes, as much as possible. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are generally free of charge (excluding hotel rate differences). As your departure approaches, some bookings become less flexible — we always inform you of your options before confirmation.

Payment is made in full in France, in euros, with Nomadays — secured by credit card or bank transfer. You have no payments to make in Vietnam: everything is pre-arranged (accommodations, transfers, guides, activities). You just need to budget for meals outside the itinerary and personal purchases.
