    I highly recommend this trip. The RealAsia team and Long Pham personally accommodated all our special wishes in adding additional days, exchanging local trips with others, etc. Have a look at what is your most interest and ask for the changes. Even during the trip we were able to do modifications due to weather conditions. We were in touch with them on daily basis, always very redposive. Thanks, RealAsia, thanks Long!

    Fabulous tour. The landscapes and seascapes were stunning, especially the Halong Bay. The trekking in Sapa was fantastic, allowing me to explore a variety of wildlife in the tropical area. These two weeks were full of admiration and pleasure for me!

    We had a wonderful time on this tour. We upgraded our hotels and they were all very good to excellent with occasional small issues. The format of the tour was different from what we were used to, but it worked out very well. Instead of traveling around on a bus for a period of time with the same people and guide, everything was conducted on-line. We were physically on our own, but we had a guide who contacted us every evening with Whatsap and told us exactly what was happening the next day. What time we would picked up, where we were going, what to expect, etc. He answered any questions we had promptly. As a result we went on group tours with new people everyday which was fun. There was only one small glitch when we arrived, we had trouble finding our pick up transportation late at night. I suggest you have a way of using your cell phone as soon as you arrive in Vietnam so you can contact the tour people. Through no fault of the tour company, we had some pretty bad weather in North Vietnam when we visited Sapa. There was a lot of rain, wind, and fog. We were scheduled for a couple of hikes that were quite demanding, and given the bad weather, even more so. Although we are in our early 70s and quite spry, it was very hard to manage the slippery, muddy conditions. Luckily, there were Hmong women who came along and helped us. We paid them back by buying the crafts they had for sale. All in all, it was a wonderful, unforgettable trip and the tour agency did a great job.

    I booked a 2 week trip to Vietnam through Realistic Asia. The itinerary included Hanoi, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City. During the booking process, Long Pham, my Realistic Asia contact answered all my questions to put me at ease. Right before my trip and throughout my time in Vietnam, Long gave me restaurant recommendations, sightseeing tips, answered my questions, and provided me a pick up time for the following day’s tour. All the tours Realistic Asia scheduled for me were first rate, had English speaking guides, and arrived on-time for pick up at my hotels. The hotels on my trip were conveniently located to attractions, clean, provided breakfast buffets, and had friendly and helpful staff. The private taxis that picked me up to transport me to the airport always arrived a few minutes earlier than the scheduled pick up time to ensure I arrive for my flights on-time. I would not hesitate to book with Realistic Asia again in the future.

    Great tour. Best part was the support that we got for day to day schedule and arrangements. I had been to Vietnam before and picked this tour in particular for new destinations and an introduction for my travel partner. Had some issues with itinerary differences. Some disappointments but when I told our orga izer of the changes they were very good at getting on it. Trip to Sapa disappointing as never got to actually visit with local people. Was all about setting us up to buy "homemade" articles ( they still had tags on them that showed were made in India and China).. In the Sapa leg we were to hike to bamboo forest and see waterfall. It was immediately clear that we were "too old" to do it (this was from our guide.). We met the rest of the 20 something buff Austria's at the end meeting point and even they said it was torture. Covered in mud and lots of scraped, sweat, and bruises ..might not want to say it is a tout for 1 to 99 years old... ....another disappointment was the halong bay leg. No cave tours, no floating market visits. We were sent out to kayak and swim with a million other people... and then fishing village tour to buy pearls. Super disappointed in that whole.experiemce. I honestly believe that realistic Asia had no knowledge of the changes in itinerary until I told Long Pham about it. Arrangements were easy and seamless and.he (long Pham) was super helpful in making suggestions for alternative things to do, restaurants, tours, etc. He is a Gem! I would definitely consider using Realistic Asia again in the future! Thanks again!!!

    The tour was totally booked before we left home. Everything worked as planned. Pick-ups at the airport and at the hotels for the various excursions were all on time. Hotels were all up to standard and well located and hotel staff were all very courteous and friendly. Our itinerary was very good too. We had agreat time.
