Peter· July 1st, 2025My partner and I toured Vietnam in May - June with Realistic Asia. We had the most magical time visiting most of the highly rated tourist locations, with Sapa and Ha Long Bay being our favourite places. We also had a representative called 'Thang Tran' assigned to look after us, from our initial enquiries, through to our time in country. Thang was a fantastic representative for his company, always providing a quick response and checking in on us daily whilst we were travelling and going above and beyond when we had any questions or issues. We highly recommend using Realistic Asia based on our experience dealing with Thang.Show moreTrip date: June 2025- NFNadia· May 2nd, 2025We really enjoyed this trip to Vietnam. The country was so beautiful, the population is so friendly and the food is delicious! We are really grateful to Realistic Asia for the great service they have provided! They have taken well care of us, even before traveling and upon our return. They were consistently in touch with us to ensure that everything was going well. We had one issue with one activity but independent of the Tour's will (celebration of 50 years independence which affected traffic) and they successfully did everything to make it work despite the circumstances! The tour was well organized, intense but wouldn't change a thing. The hotels were pretty good as well and well located. We highly recommend this tour!Show more

- ABAbraham· April 26th, 2025I am a regular traveller and I always prefered to travel alone and not as part of an organised tour. Being a foreign country, I signed up with Tourradar for the 14 Vietnam tour. It was a well organised and well worked out plan with all the support one can wish for. Absolutely nothing went wrong and the accommodation was first class. The organisers also left enough individual free time so one can explore on your own. My next holiday will be definitely with Tourrader. Lastly, I have to acknowledge the excellent support and backup from Long Pam. He was always on top of everything, not leaving one for a moment wondering "what next". A real professional and dedicated man. Thank you so much.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Abraham, Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

- URUrs· April 17th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishTour guide Edna was sensational, everything just worked out. Super organization and great support. All dates / programs and everything was kept on time. The composition of the trip was also good. Unfortunately, the expectations of the landscape were not fulfilled by far. Neither the mountains nor Halong or the Mekong are anything special. (!) All destinations are extremely touristy, mass processing at its best! The tip vultures are waiting on every corner, visitors are constantly hassled. When trekking (dirt-in), a group of local helpers suddenly joins in, constantly chattering at you. Everything is geared towards tips and sales. The trekking is a very slippery, steep mud battle. Most people (much younger than us) could barely manage this path. A trip to forget. The hotels and food were good with mostly a decent selection. Conclusion: If someone appreciates the above, then the traveler is in good hands. I would not recommend the trip to a friend or I would at least mention the details.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Urs Rüttimann, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your recent trip with us.

- HSHans· April 13th, 2025I booked the 'Best of Vietnam in 14 days' Tour from Western Australia for 28. March until 10. April. Both Tourradar as well as Realistic Asia were the excellent operators. Every aspect of the tour was communicated and according to the provided itinerary. I was positively surprised by the level of care and assistance encountered. Every airport or hotel pick-up/drop off was on time and made the holiday, a safe, easy and very enjoyable journey. In my case, the local tour operator/contact was Long Pham, a friendly person you could fully trust. He could be contacted by Whatsapp any time and always responded in due time in the most helpful and considerate way. The day trips in the selected locations were guided by English speaking local tour guides who provided detailed information/knowledge on the localities and culture. The 3 Star hotels were clean and suitable, some of the showers were maybe a little outdated. The breakfasts and lunches provided were always fabulous and plentiful. My trip started in Hanoi in the North and headed South, finishing in Saigon. Each day tour either by limousine or by boat were very well run with group sizes between 8 and a maximum of 15 new travellers for every tour. If you embark on every day trip on offer, however, there is barely enough time for individual sightseeing in each major city, and the tipping culture in the commercialised touristic places is something you have to get used to as well. Overall, you do see the best of Vietnam with all its incredible charms and diversity in a short period of time. I highly recommend this tour.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Hans, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful review of the Best of Vietnam in 14 Days tour.

Our package is based on 3-star accommodation which the price is shown. If you request 4-star or 5-star accommodation, there is an additional fee. You can easily check this price when you click "check availability". The cruise is also on the hotel list since it's an accommodation. You can also consider keeping other hotels 3-star and upgrading the cruise to 4-star or 5-star.
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written May 2025
In Hoi An: you will have 2 free days: day 9 and day 10. There is no tour included yet. Golden Bridge - Monkey Mountain- Marble Mountains - Dragon Bridge: All places are in Danang, not in Hoi An. Danang is far from Hoi An, about 45 45-minute drive per way. There is no tour to visit the Dragon Bridge but you can catch a taxi to visit by yourself. For Golden Bridge - we are available a full day tour, pick up and drop off in Hoi An with an extra fee of $75/person.

During this Best Of Vietnam In 14 Days tour, there are 2 destinations requiring moderate level. They are Mua Cave in Ninh Binh and trekking in Sapa. The Sapa trek is mainly on concrete roads, going through villages and going downhill. At Mua Cave, you will have to climb quite lots of staircases. We can customize the trip to make it comfortable for you, like skipping certain sections or providing alternative routes.
