- BLBEE· December 13th, 2024This is the first time we( me, my husband and my daughter) travel to Virtnam, we decided to join this "Melody of mountain and sea". This tour is covering so much diversity for us to feel, to see and to experience the warm hearted people, the facinating cultures and the magnificent geography of Northen Vietnam. Nevertheless, Edna our tour specialist had guided and assisted us through out the whole journey. Without her professional advice, we wouldn't have enjoyed our holiday so much. A very big thanks to her to cooperate with local guides.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Bee Lee, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!

- Monserrath· October 24th, 2024True to the name "Melody Of Mountain and Sea", we were truly fascinated by the majestic beauty and diversity of Vietnamese nature. Each destination on the journey brought me wonderful experiences and unforgettable memories. We were truly overwhelmed by the beautiful landscape of the bay with thousands of limestone islands. Kayaking and exploring caves in Ha Long; Trekking in Sapa through terraced fields and learning about the life of the ethnic minorities are interesting and unforgettable experiences.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Monserrath!

- Alexandra· January 1st, 2024We took this tour by Realistic Asia and it was everything we had hoped for. Long Pham was available and helpful every step of the way and everything went like clockwork!! I can’t recommend him enough! Hà Nội was busy and bustling and the day tour took us to all the prime sights but also left us plenty of time to fend our own path. Then off to Halong Bay - which was busy but the tour was great. Our guide was lovely and 1 night was about the right time to be there. Then off to Sapa! We did the home stay and 2 treks! If there is the chance to grab another night in the villages I’d take it. I’d also see if you can have a true home stay and not just a bungalow stay. Our guide Mae was amazing ! I will be booking through Realistic Asia again for my kids when they go travelling and when I next come back to the Far East!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Alexandra, Thank you so much for your feedback. We are very thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your holiday in Vietnam. Thanks for your kind words about Long Pham, he remembers you and sends his warm regards. We’re very grateful for customers...
