    When I first looked at booking the 15 Days Highlight Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh city up to Hoi An and Hanoi tour, Mr Manh was extremely helpful in answering all my queries and assisting me to experience the best Vietnam has to offer. Vietnam uses whatsapp and tripadvisor so once I had booked the tour, Mr Manh communicated me through email and whatsapp so every interaction was in real time and immediately responded! If there were any changes to my itinerary, He advised me straight away and also sent little reminders on what time my next itinerary was starting! This gave me great confidence to continue on my wonderful holiday, knowing Mr Manh was looking after me every step of the way. He also gave me cultural tips on what to wear (especially visiting temples and pagodas), money exchanges as well as where to shop and other off the track info. Highly recommend Mr Manh and his team! Arguably one of the best holidays as the Vietnamese people, food and culture are beautiful! A credit to Mr Manh and Vietnam Real Tour. Can't wait to come back!!

    My solo tour to Vietnam was certainly an adventure. My plane from Manchester was delayed so I missed my connection however, I had an unexpected 24-hour stay in Dubai which was wonderful. I let Manh my wonderful contact know, and he rearranged my pick-up from Ho Chi Manh airport to my hotel. Throughout my journey from the south to the north, Manh was just a phone call away should I have any questions. My tour of Vietnam was wonderful, I met many wonderful people on the tours and never once felt unsafe or vulnerable. For anyone wanting to tour by themselves, this is a wonderful way of doing it, the hotels were all of a great standard, the tours amazing and the transportation to different cities excellent. This is the best holiday of my life so far, and hopefully, many more to come.

    This was a reasonable priced tour and all went well. A couple of points: I don’t recommend the overnight train,-crowded, shared bathrooms, people opening your LOCKED cabin door repeatedly through the night. - Be aware this is a satellite tour so each time you hop on a bus you will be with completely different people this maybe okay for you but you just need to know. - I paid the extra $10 us , per night to ensure we had a room WITH a window. This was classed as an upgrade and I assumed it meant upgrade to 4 star but it doesn’t it means upgrade to a window. -Sadly be prepared to see lots of heartbreaking pollution. The sky’s are gray, the beautiful Mekong tragically brown with none stop garbage floating down. Do take pictures of the rubbish and post and/or send to Vietnam tourism they need to know they will loose tourists! Bottled water!! Try where you can to limit it, refill where possible. I was boiling the kettle each evening and filling up in the morning when the kettle was cold. -Manh was very helpful, readily available to contact on watts app at any time. As we had paid in one the hotels for an upgrade (Literally no room to walk around the bed) he compensated us for that cost and ensured we had a very good room in our last hotel.

    Great tour operator. Mr Manh from Vietnam Real Tour has always been very responsive to every question I had before and during the trip. The tour is overall very well organized with free time in every place I visited, giving me the chance to discover and live in my own way rather than being constantly guided in every step. BIG thumbs up for this. All the daily tours included are operated by different local companies and I shared them with different people every time. They picked my up at the front door of the hostel within the time frames advised and the guides were actually born within that area so it was nice to hear their stories and points of view. I also had a chance to have lunch at one the guide's home as part of a tour I did, giving me the chance to breathe a bit of their daily life. Another BIG thumbs up. Overall I had the chance to be a "backpacker" without the stress of taking daily decisions (accomodation,tours,domestic travels...). This helped a lot in enjoying this experience in the best way possible.

    · March 17th, 2019
    My wife and I recently returned from a month long trip visiting Cambodia, Vietnam and Hong Kong. For the Vietnam portion of the trip we used the services of Vietnam Real Tours. Our trip was essentially the 15 Days Highlight Vietnam ( Tour Radar.com) with some minor modifications. Throughout the trip, our co-ordinator, Mr Manh Tatien, was readily available by phone or WhatsApp for any issues or questions. We were able to request some minor changes to the itinerary to suit our own interests, something not possible with most other agencies. All in all, we were provided with a fantastic tour covering almost everything on our wish list. There was adequate down time in most cities, allowing us the choice of relaxing or exploring on our own. The hotels, for the most part were all centrally located or an easy taxi ride away from the main tourist areas. The included tours were well organized with guides who seemed well versed in their subject matter. We chose the overnight sleeper train for the trip from Hue to Hanoi- an interesting way to see the country once the sun comes up. However, I would not suggest it for someone who is a light sleeper as the ride is rather bumpy compared to European trains. Hanoi has lots to see so I would definitely suggest extending your trip if time permits. Again Mr Tatien had no issues with extending our stays in both Hanoi and Saigon, providing free transfers in both cities. Breakfast was supplied by all hotels and usually included a good variety of foods including Pho which is an interesting way to start your day. Very satisfying lunches were included on days when we joined local tours and on other days we had the opportunity to sample local dishes on our own. All in all, I would highly recommend this company for longer trips such as ours or even single day trips for those travelling on their own who are looking for a local guide service. Price wise, I do not think we could have found a better option without sacrificing comfort and hotel quality. My Thanks to Manh for making our first trip to Vietnam a very memorable and enjoyable experience
