What people love about touring Halong Bay solo
- The Beauty of Northern Vietnam in 8 Days
It’s actually 4 separate group tours . Size ranged from 6 to about 28 people. Halong Bay was beautiful. I enjoyed the Sapa trekking the best - our guide Sung was excellent. Support from Chris at Vietnam Tour Fun was terrific taking away any anxiety about pickup times and locations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience exploring Thailand. Instead of booking through a third-party, we decided to directly arrange our travel with Realistic Asia for a full 10-day tour. Ms. Evelyn, our travel agent, was fantastic right from the beginning. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and considerate, taking into account our specific requirements to suggest the perfect package for us. The hotels in each city were conveniently situated on main roads and in prime locations. Additionally, all of our scheduled land tours were punctual and well-organized. We are grateful to Ms. Evelyn for creating such a memorable trip for us.
Spirit of Southeast Asia in 16 Days: A Voyage of Culture & Calm - (Vietnam,Thailand,Bali)
- Northern Vietnam Adventure In 13 Days
Everything from start to finish, with transfers, tours, guides, and hotels, was absolutely amazing. The places we visited were wonderful and off the beaten path. We have seen the real Vietnam with its remote areas not spoiled by mass tourism. 10 out of 10 from myself and my wife. Thank you so much for everything.
