- KHKeon· December 28th, 2025We enjoyed the flexibility built into the itinerary. On the free days, we could explore on our own or just relax. Loved cycling in Hoi An and sampling street food in Chiang Mai. A good mix of guided and free time. The guides in every city were amazing. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to answer our questions. We learned so much about Thai and Vietnamese history, culture, and food.Show more

- ARaymond B Scragg· December 12th, 2023This 16-day Thailand and Vietnam tour was my favorite trip so far. It was my first time experiencing a group tour like this. I thought I would be traveling with the same group for all 16 days, but it turned out that I joined a different group for each day tour. While I wasn't expecting that, it was totally fine. Besides that, I had a pleasant experience with all the services, itinerary, accommodations, the guides, the places I visited, and the team. I highly recommend this trip!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your experience!

- APeep pee· April 5th, 2024I think Realistic Asia is one of the best tour operators in Southeast Asia that I've used. My family and I love traveling, and we've been to this region a few times. It was a 11/10 experience, I think partly because we went during the low season, making it quite cheap compared to the high quality and we dont have to deal with crowed. We were also very impressed with their customer service. Thang was incredibly helpful and proactive, making us feel very safe. I'll definitely be back for another trip with Realistic Asia.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear customer, Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic experience!

- AAnne Magiera· November 28th, 2023I booked this trip for my parents for their anniversary since they'd always wanted to travel to Southeast Asia. My parents really liked it and complimented the guides and Long, our trip supporter. During the trip, he asked for my parents' contact information and maintained communication with both me and them. Overall, the trip had a slow pace, which was suitable for my parents' health but still include many famous atractions. They had a great time there. Big thanks to Long and Realistic Asia.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewThank you for your kind words!
