- BBBianca· August 30th, 2025I was travelling with my son and we will never forget this wonderful trip. The itinerary was greatly chosen, we hiked in the northern mountains, went on a cruise in breathtaking Halong Bay, had leisure time to us in lovely Hoi An and visited the vibrant cities Hanoi and Saigon. At any time taken care of our beyond friendly guides, the hotels, transfers and activities very well organised. We loved and cherished every day in this beautiful country and warmly recommend "Realistic Asia" for trips!Show moreTrip date: August 2025
Eleni· August 20th, 2025It was our first time using Tour Radar and this kind of semi-organized tour, and we loved it. Edna in Realistic Asia was incredibly supportive and made sure everything was to our liking and we had everything we needed before our trip and throughout. We customized the itinerary a bit, and she made sure to confirm everything with us before booking. We loved the fact that all of our transportation was taken care of and the majority of the accommodations were very good, with few exceptions that were not really an issue. The tours were interesting and most of our guides were engaging, special shoutout to our guides in Sapa and in Mekong delta who were simply amazing. Keep in mind that there are some touristy parts in the tours, were we spend time in tourist traps and are prompted to buy souvenirs. That's not our thing but it wasn't that annoying either. Most of our lunch stops were also amazing, the only one that we didn't like was in Ninh Binh. We really liked the fact that some days were in groups but we also had private time to explore at our own pace. Minor things that came up during the trip were handled by Edna promptly, we kept chatting for anything needed. We were unhappy with our transportation experience from/to the airport in Saigon, but this instance did not ruin our overall experience. All in all our rating would be 4,5 stars, there are things that could be improved but it was an amazing trip.Show more

Show moreTrip date: June 2025- NMNils-Kristian· August 6th, 2025Overall a great trip with some room for improvement. Chris, our contact point gets an easy 5/5 rating as he was most helpful and service orientated. For example, we forgot a jacket in a hotel and he had it sent to a later hotel for pickup, without any hesitation or trouble for me. Much appreciated. In regards of the trip I would give it 4/5 as we were disappointed in the quality of (2 of) the (3) guides/ their English. Some of the hotels was not very 4* but that was less important. Logistics and food was 5/5, we could truly relax all the way and not have a sliver of thought but enjoyment. Locations and program is an easily 5/5 (except Halong Bay, but that has nothing to do with this company). Don’t hesitate, go!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Nils, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest feedback!

- 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 moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Peter, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your wonderful experience in Vietnam!

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.

Asked on July 22nd, 2025Does the price include flights?
Realistic AsiaOperator•Written July 2025domestic flights within Vietnam during the trip are already included in your package. However, the international flights for your arrival and departure AREN'T included, so you'll need to book those yourself separately.

Rob
Asked on July 3rd, 2025I just read reviews about another tour operator, not you. Several travelers complained about the location of the hotels. They commented that they were often isolated and located quite a distance from the main sights, restaurants etc. This made it difficult for them explore on their own especially in the evenings. How does Realistic Asia handle this?
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written July 2025
we always choose the hotels located in the central location for our dear clients. So it'll be easier and more convenient to explore the city or have their meals on their own, you can rest assured about it! During this Best Of Vietnam In 14 Days tour, you will join the group tours in Vietnam (group size maybe 12-14 people). The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from the beginning till the end. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have different groups for excursion at each place, but airport pick up/transfer and accommodation are private, just join a group on days you have a tour

Asked on June 21st, 2025What is the difference between the 3-Star, 4-Star and 5-Star accommodations?
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written June 2025
The difference between hotel types that greatly affect the price is the basic factors such as the location, furniture, room size, room view, and amenities. The higher the type of hotel, the more comfortable the experience. All our hotels are in the center of cities and are inspected to ensure the service so based on the budget you can consider the reasonable option. For 3-star and 4-star, you will join some partial group tours. For 5-star hotels, besides the higher hotel standards, the tour will be private completely at a higher cost.

Traveler•Written July 2025Please clarify trekking...what is the alternative. What is the alternative to cycling please.. What is the difference between 3 and 4 star hotels?
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written July 2025
If you don't want to have a trekking tour, I suggest skipping Sapa and you can replace with food tour and Hue. About the cycling, On Day 2 (Ninh Binh tour) and Day 12 (Mekong tour), cycling is one of many activities of those tours so yes, you can walk or take a rest to enjoy the sightseeing, not compulsory to join the cycling.
