    We enjoyed a very well organised trip around Vietnam. We were really impressed by how easy Realistic Asia made the many parts of the trip run so smoothly. Very good value with many excellent activities included in the tour.

    The tour was fabulous. Very very well organized. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful and very complete. Our contact Mr. Thang always answered our questions had to make changes during the trip. We were in the middle of a typhoon so changes had to be made. All done for us.

    I was worried at first because it was our first vacation in Asia, but we felt really well looked after from the moment we were picked up at the airport and throughout the rest of the trip. We received immediate answers to the rare questions we had. The hotels were very well chosen. In North Vietnam in particular, the people were extremely friendly. We can recommend Realistic Asia without hesitation.

    Wonderful experience! Well organized, the tours were very interesting. Lucy Do from Realistic Asia went above and beyond to make us feel safe, comfortable and well taken care of. We really felt like someone has our back the whole time. And everything went as smoothly as it can.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We would have liked to have perhaps an extra free day. Perhaps extend the trip by a few days and then add a few extra days for just resting. As it is full on. Other than that comment it was all very good. We were well looked after and enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you Hazel and John Ravesteyn.

    The Vietnam tour operator was communicative and great in her follow up. She provided prompt responses and organized the tour based on personalized need. I was able to reach her anytime I needed help or have a question. I had very little interaction with TourRadar.

    Our friend group went on a 13-day tour with Realistic Asia to Hanoi, Sapa, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City. This is the second time our group has chosen this company and it was an amazing choice. Everything went well. Everlyn was great with communication. We had a WhatsApp group with her, and she responded quickly and also she is really experienced and gave us a lot of great recommendations during the trip. The tour guides we met were all nice. They shared a lot of interesting stories about Vietnam. We learned a lot from the guides and we really enjoyed chatting with them. I personally loved Sapa the most, with its local people and beautiful natural scenery.
