- BLBEE· December 13th, 2024This is the first time we( me, my husband and my daughter) travel to Virtnam, we decided to join this "Melody of mountain and sea". This tour is covering so much diversity for us to feel, to see and to experience the warm hearted people, the facinating cultures and the magnificent geography of Northen Vietnam. Nevertheless, Edna our tour specialist had guided and assisted us through out the whole journey. Without her professional advice, we wouldn't have enjoyed our holiday so much.

- Alexandra· January 1st, 2024We took this tour by Realistic Asia and it was everything we had hoped for. Long Pham was available and helpful every step of the way and everything went like clockwork!! I can’t recommend him enough! Hà Nội was busy and bustling and the day tour took us to all the prime sights but also left us plenty of time to fend our own path. Then off to Halong Bay - which was busy but the tour was great. Our guide was lovely and 1 night was about the right time to be there. Then off to Sapa! We did the home stay and 2 treks! If there is the chance to grab another night in the villages I’d take it. I’d also see if you can have a true home stay and not just a bungalow stay. Our guide Mae was amazing ! I will be booking through Realistic Asia again for my kids when they go travelling and when I next come back to the Far East!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Alexandra, Thank you so much for your feedback.

Grace
Asked on April 2nd, 2025My partner and I are celiac, I wanted to know if there is a possibility of having gluten-free meals on the trip.
Realistic AsiaOperator•Written April 2025I will take a note of gluten-free in the meals during the trip for you. During this Melody Of Mountain and Sea tour, you will join group tours in Vietnam (group size maybe 12-14 people). The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from 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. Can I know the hotel category you want for this trip? 3-star, 4-star or 5-star?

Asked on April 24th, 2024I am a vegan but I can eat some butter or eggs if it's cooked into food - I am wondering if there would be food for me on the tour? it says in the description about the quality of hotels 3 4 or 5 star, but doesnt say what kind of hotels we'd be staying in on this tour. I have a terrible back and the beds in south east Asia have been SO hard, I'm worried I won't sleep if they're rock hard on the tour for 8 nights.
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written April 2024
For you requirement about food, I will take a note about dietary requirements when prepare meals, so you can be secure about this one. For the hotel categories of this tour, we have 3*, 4* and 5*, and will have its price accordingly. We will arrange the room with a good bed for you.
