    The accommodations were comfortable, and the logistics were seamless. This tour was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the beauty and diversity of both countries. Highly recommend! These are really the 2 most worth visiting countries in Southeast Asia that we have ever been to. If you are into culture exploration and sth mysterious, you should go there once! Thanks to Realistic Asia for all! You guys did a really great job!

    Our experience with this company had been excellent throughout our journey. I have to rearrange the dates twice due to personal issues and they were very accommodating. We were fully satisfied with the itinerary. It covered all the important places both in Thailand and Vietnam. Thang helped us to get all the necessary documents relating to travel and responded to our questions promptly. He was easily contactable 24/7. All the guides were very knowledgeable. The guides have been excellent. I would particularly like to mention two names:Tran Quoc Khai and Pond. They were exceptional with their knowledge, enthusiasm, passion and communication. Knock was good in her knowledge but it would have been good if she expressed enthusiasm and passion. Novotel hotel wasn’t upto 4 * standard. The other hotels were really good. All the drivers were very good and warm. Overall we are very satisfied with everything.

    Every detail was planned and executed perfectly. We had the right amount of free time to explore on our own. The service was extraordinary!!! We stayed in 3 star boutique hotels that were very nice and the staff treated us like we were royalty. The breakfasts were all wonderful with plenty of options.

    It was very well planned and taken very well by the tour operator Lucy. She is awesome and always there to help. I lost my luggage while transferring from cruise to hotel due to the negligence of guide Victor. But Lucy had done all her best and brought to me the same day and I could fly the next day, Special thanks to Lucy. She is an great asset to the company.
