In general, it’s an excellent tour but there’s only 1 thing I don't like. It’s the 2nd time I’ve been to Hoi An but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first time. It’s maybe due to the heavy rain, preventing us from experiencing s..ome outside activities. Moreover, the rain also made the outside of the hotel dirty and noisy and it’s really annoying. However, other destination was perfect with the beauty of cities, friendliness of locals and great service from the travel agency.Read full review

Since this was our first group tour vacation, we didn’t know what to expect. Luckily we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We followed the advice from previous reviews and chose Realistic Asia as the tour operator. That’s the ..best decision. The schedule was packed with activities so you can experience everything the area has to offer, but it also includes downtime. I was amazed by Hanoi's streets. They were very busy. What an experience crossing the streets :) Halong Bay's boat accommodations and cuisine were of the highest caliber. It’s also the first time we have cycled around the countryside and we’re so welcomed by local people. They smiled, waved and even shouted out “Hello” to us. One tip for travelling to Vietnam is you should learn a few key Vietnamese phrases to impress a few locals, they would like you. In short, that was incredible! Thank you Realistic Asia and Vietnam!Read full review
Excellent travel schedule for first time travel to Vietnam. Honestly, at first I worried that the itinerary's time constraints would prevent us from having enough time to really explore all the places we went, but it turned out that this wa..s not the case. The timetable was well-planned as we had the balance between relaxing time and visiting time. We were so delighted. The overnight on cruise in Halong Bay was excellent. We were quite pleased with the encounter and seafood. Would adore doing this voyage next time visiting Vietnam. We will possibly spend two nights there.Read full review
Great experience. Would I do it again? absolutely yes. Our tour guides were awesome, hotel staff and the room were very nice. I appreciate the tour agency for taking care of clients so carefully. One of my friends is vegetarian and they did.. assure that all the included meals for her are no-meat.Read full review
I chose this tour because it’s affordable to me and my friend however it turned out to be greater than expectations. I fall in love with the beauty of this UNESCO-listed ancient town so much while my bestie enjoys HCMC, especially Indepen..dence Palace because she did lots of research on Vietnam’s history. Despite the big crowds in Ninh Binh, we’re really amazed by the spectaculous nature and boarding along the river through the limestone caves was an unforgettable moment in my life. We took many pics to capture every moment. Besides we‘re vegetarian and the hotel staff and tour operators did so well to offer us Vegetarian meals. Other services were reasonably priced. I hope the tour will be extended to more than 11 days. I will be back in Vietnam soon.Read full review

It was my second time in Vietnam but first time in Thailand. I love animals so the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary tour was great to me. You could bring your own swimsuit to have a bath with elephants. Vietnam was amazing too with its ancient and.. modern culture. Fantastic trip, thanks Realistic Asia.Read full review
I cannot remember how many times I went back to Vietnam. I had visited Hanoi, HCMC, Hoi An and Halong Bay before but for this tour, this is the 1st time I’ve been to Hue. We just spent almost 24 hours being there so we didn’t explore mu..ch. Local guide took us to Dong Ba market where we could discover the daily life of the residents of the ancient capital. I have to say that I’m so into Hue as it’s a romantic city with a slow pace of life. Would come back there soon!Read full review
A truly authentic & unique experience that I will never forget. The bus was really convenient and all four flights were great. Fantastic local guides made it even better. I felt quite annoyed at first although I had heard about the crazy tr..affic in both countries. Still, it’s fine thanks to the good preparation of Realistic Asia. You will be my preferential agent!Read full review
I had an amazing time here, one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary designed by Realistic Asia was perfect and included lots of choices for extra activities.
It’s nice that we could know what to do based on the trip description and the itinerary was well-followed. Thailand and Vietnam are both gorgeous for their charming culture and beautiful destinations. This travel operator responded so qui..ckly to any questions or concerns we had either by email or by phone. Thanks Mr Alex and Ms Van from Realistic Asia for suggesting this tour and helping us complete needed documents.Read full review
If you’re a fan of Vietnamese culture, this tour is a must-take because you can experience both tradition and modernity across the country. Taking a tour helped me discover and learn lots of knowledge about Vietnamese and Vietnamese cultu..re. They have a strong bold history and now the country is developing so quickly, and I could see that local guides were so proud of their country, which was shown in the way they introduced each city to us. Besides, the low season travel allows us to have wonderful pics as there are fewer tourists. And fortunately, the weather was perfect to enjoy outside activities. Recommend you bring lightweight jackets because sometimes it gets cooler at night in Sept. In short, I appreciate Realistic Asia for the smooth arrangement. Highly recommend this company!Read full review
Were greeted by our guides. From the start, we knew it was gonna be a good time here as all the guides were so enthusiastic and proud to be showing us the history and the beauty of the destinations. For leisure time in 2 big cities Hanoi an..d HCMC, they also took us to some major attractions in both cities, pointing out some famous coffee houses and beer streets (like Ta Hien in Hanoi). No matter where you come from, when joining a group, we’re all friends. My group mates were funny and kind. New friends were made <3Read full review
I would like to give the guides a 10 out of 10, since they were great overall. The one in Ninh Binh was really wonderful, kind and friendly. They were competent and professional in Halong Bay and Hue as well. They all arrived on time, that'..s the thing I highly appreciate because I'm a strict and punctual person. HCMC was an exception, which we shared with you via email with agent.Read full review
96% Great Planning and Support from Realistic Asia!

11 days of fascinating and unexpected adventures made up my absolutely wonderful solo holiday in Vietnam. Very prompt and effective contact from agent Long and Realistic Asia during the planning stage, along with knowledgeable ideas of loca..l tour guides that fulfilled my objectives. Good information and a thorough trip schedule with the option of 24 hour phone contact if necessary. I was a little bit late on the second day and almost missed the car to the Mekong River, then I had to contact Long and luckily, the tour operator solved it immediately. THANK YOU!Read full review
Lots of surprises!!!! Joining different groups in each city was very new for me. Every visitor was so friendly and we took lots of pics together. What amazed me was the local guide in Hoi An cause he was proficient in both English, French a..nd, of course, Vietnamese. He was also informative and punctual, so were other guides. While on the tour they checked in with us several times to make sure everything was good. A friend of mine had gone for another tour to Vietnam two previous days, she told me that her domestic flight was delayed for 2 hours. I was luckier than her, everything in my trip went so smoothly. I totally enjoyed the trip!Read full review
