What people love about touring Halong Bay solo
- Vietnam The Charming North
Tom Hiddleston - Budapest, Hungary Great drop-in yoga class This Wellness Tour was one of the best classes I had during my Asia journey. It was a really relaxing atmosphere and our teacher was so calm down. I can recommend that class in Pu Luong for each level. Thank you very much for this experience.
- North Vietnam At A Glance: Halong Bay & Sapa 5 days
Great service, we were well taken care of.
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.
