My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience with Mr.Phuc as our guide. He was very helpful with local restaurants and gave us knowledge of Vietnam's history and culture. We would recommend him to anyone traveling in Vietnam!
- Best of Cambodia & Vietnam
Both guides were superb. Great trip and experiences.
- Serenity & Spice: A Grand Southeast Asia Escape in 18 Days -(Thailand,Vietnam,Bali)
I have never expected a group tour with so much fun like this experience. 11-day trip flew by so fast. Tour guide was so supportive and information. We were impressive with the activities well arranged for us. I don’t know what would have happened without choosing Realistic Asia. You are my ideal agent ever. Wish to go along with you to every corner of the world.
