    Our trip was just wow. Very well organised. All transfers went smoothly, the excursions were wonderful. The guides were all very friendly and spoke good English. Thang and his team were always approachable and responded within a few minutes. Special thanks again to the guides in Hoi An, who introduced us to their homeland in a lovely way and looked after us so well. We experienced so many impressions and will never forget the trip.

    Halong Bay was incredibly beautiful. Both of our kids loved it. It was a fantastic experience! The hotel staff were very supportive, and the tour guides were excellent. We could always get help. Thanks, Long! This was a great historical tour, bringing back memories of pictures and places I recall seeing in the news and newspapers.

    The guides and drivers were always on time and ready to take us to some amazing places. The hotels and their staff were also wonderful. Some of our highlights were Halong Bay, Hoi An with the bike trip and basket boat tour on the river. Thang was always quick to respond to my questions. We had an unforgottable trip and will be recommending it to our friends.

    Long was very helpful, and his management of every service was excellent. From cars and hotels to drivers and guides. They made the vacation much more enjoyable and were a lot of fun. The timing worked perfectly for my kids and our short trip. The food was delicious. Without a doubt, we will return to spend more time exploring Southeast Asia with your company.

    Thank you, Long. For the excellent tour you planned in Vietnam! Everything was smooth and on time. Long suggestion and recommendations were fair proposals and helpful advices. Realistic Asia is a great tour operator. I had my concerns about organizing a tour with an agency I do not know, but the final result was worth the 'risk'. Have my full recommendation to everyone traveling to Vietnam

    I had a nice trip in Vietnam! I just fell in love with this country. I visited beautiful locations with delicious cuisine and friendly locals. Mr Long planned an excellent schedule for me; him and his team were hands-on from the start, very attentive to my questions, and I felt at ease the entire trip. Thank you so much for giving me a memorable experience travelling in Vietnam!

    Thank you realistic Asia for a fantastic Holiday. Being the person who usually plans the holidays it was so nice to not have to think or worry about anything with all transfers, hotels and tours organised for you. Long Pham kept in contact the entire trip, letting me know pick up times and giving tips for certain areas. When I needed to change a pick up time this was not an issue at all. While it was a short trip it was so good to see a bit of everything and have really well organised day tours. If you want a great/busy holiday without having to plan the details this is the best thing to book.

    Fantastic tour with great coverage of iconic places from south to north. A range of activities included with great local tour guides as we toured around the country. Mix of activities and free time was a good balance. We were looked after via WhatsApp from tour guide from realistic asia Long Pham the entire time. From Australia he contacted us to make sure everything was set up properly and If we had any questions. Every day in Vietnam, he gave us an update of daily activities, pick up times, local tips and eatery. Accommodation was really good (clean , friendly, comfortable), well located to central towns/cities. Flights were well organised and the pick up / drop off drivers were reliable and organised too.
