    Vietnam is a beautiful country with the loveliest people. It was a busy trip with early mornings and packed itineraries, but I didn't want to miss out on any of the excursions. We were very well taken care of and will definitely use this company again. The hotels were much better than expected, truly excellent, and some even had swimming pools. The food was truly impressive, and the beer was cheap. The boat trip on Halong Bay was very peaceful, and we loved the activities in the Mekong Delta. My husband enjoyed biking and kayaking, which were provided. Navigating Hanoi traffic was an experience, but we survived crossing the streets!

    The journey was excellent and diverse. The visited locations were interesting and enjoyable, with my favorite being Saigon due to its abundance of things to see and do. Following closely was Hoi An, a riverside town truly magnificent with its many restaurants and glittering lanterns. The overnight on cruise in Halong Bay was an experience better than we expected, and we truly enjoyed and relaxed.

    The two-week itinerary gave me a truly fantastic insight into the past and present life in Vietnam. The attractions included temples, pagodas, rice fields, caves, rivers, beautiful lanterns, war tunnels, war museums, and stunning seascapes. Activities ranged from hiking, biking, overnight train rides, ferry rides, to boat trips. The food was diverse and delicious. All the hotels were excellent, and we were warmly welcomed everywhere we went, from restaurants to people's homes. Vietnamese people have endured much hardship but harbor no ill will; they are incredibly warm, hospitable, and courteous.

    I've never visited Southeast Asia before and was very excited to learn about a new culture. This trip includes all the major highlights I wanted to see. Hanoi was bustling, and I struggled with crossing the streets because of the numerous motorbikes. Halong Bay was just as expected, with impressive caves and stunning scenery. Hoi An was also amazing and quite different from other places in Vietnam, like a miniature Hong Kong with colorful lanterns everywhere. One of my favorite spots was the Mekong Delta boat trip. I am so thankful all your team for araanging this, I have so many beautiful memories. There were no complaints about the accommodations; the hotels were beautiful, and charming.

    The long journey was well-organized by Realistic Asia. Our travel consultant, Long, was very dedicated and had excellent knowledge. He always responded to messages promptly, even when it was late according to Vietnam time. The Vietnam Signature trip had everything: culture, history, delicious food, and friendly people. The landscape of Vietnam is beautiful and diverse from North to South, each region with its irresistible charm. Every day brought different destinations and exciting activities. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves over the past two weeks.

    Countless activities, experiences, landmarks, and various sounds are encapsulated in this holiday, truly giving you a comprehensive view of Vietnam. The itinerary unfolds continuously with many activities that require physical stamina, such as trekking in Sapa. However, it would be very rewarding if you could participate in all the activities and experiences on the trip. Our guide was attentive and very fit; he helped me carry my backpack during long hikes. After a productive day of activities, we were able to rest and receive massages at fantastic hotels. The itinerary in Hue and Hoi An is not too demanding, allowing you to enjoy and relax while exploring these places.

    The trip was a fantastic way to explore as much as possible about Vietnam and struck a perfect balance between culture and activities. The adventure was non-stop, from the hillsides of northwest Hanoi to the Mekong Delta. It is a perfect trip if you want a real sense of Vietnam.

    The trip was a continuous cultural experience from North to South Vietnam. Our hotels were of good quality, and we were very well taken care of wherever we stayed. The local food was fantastic and diverse. Traveling through and between Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, and Hochimin, we were exposed to the history and culture of this country. Our guide provided very comprehensive information about the historical events that shaped Vietnam. The activities were well-organized throughout the journey. A bit of walking, a bit of rowing, and some exhilarating biking made up the dynamic part of the vacation. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of kayaking, but this was somewhat compensated by the stunning scenery in Halong Bay.

    An exciting trip with an engaging mix of sightseeing and activities - highly recommended. The journey helps you learn a lot about this rapidly developing country - its history and current development, with a fascinating contrast between city life and rural life. There is hardly any free time on this trip, but that's the only way to fit everything into two weeks! The Vietnamese people are friendly and warm, and the trip was enjoyable and interesting from start to finish. I was truly surprised by the local cuisine, which was excellent, fresh, and diverse. My first experience working with the travel company Realistic Asia did not disappoint. I will soon return for a slow-paced vacation in Vietnam.

    I chose this trip because it offered a fantastic combination of hiking, sightseeing, cycling, and kayaking over two weeks in Vietnam. I loved walking through the terraced fields in Sapa and boating on the Mekong River. I also appreciated all the city stops to experience the unique characteristics and cuisine of different cities across Vietnam. Our guides and drivers were very friendly. Thang, our travel consultant, was incredibly supportive and had many interesting suggestions. I am very satisfied with the services and activities arranged by him.
