Leonie· June 16th, 2025Had a wonderful time! The hotels were all excellent, the tours were fantastic and the tour guides very helpful and informative. Travelled with my daughter and we always felt safe and looked after, as we are not experienced travellers.Show moreTrip date: June 2025- SSShane· April 28th, 2025My wife and I very much enjoyed this tour. We went with the 4star package and the hotels did not disappoint. Every hotel was in a very good location to get out and see the everyday life of the people in which you are visiting. Every pick up for tours and airports went off without a hitch. Tours were all with very organized reputable companies and were very enjoyable. My only complaint would be that you need an extra day in all these amazing spots :-). The support throughout the trip with our rep Chris was perfect, he even came and met with us in Hanoi. 5/5 tour and outfit. Will definitely recommend to all my family, friends and colleagues!!Show more

He even made the extra effort to come visit us in person before we departed Hanoi. The locations visited were very cool and the local guides were exceptional. Hoa gave us a fabulous bike tour in Vietnam and Mony provided us with a very knowledgeable history of Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples.

- Stephen· March 31st, 2025I booked a 17 day tour of Cambodia and Vietnam with Realistic Asia that fit conveniently between two other tours I had committed to. As I was linking tours together, it was necessary to deviate from the standard pickup/drop off dates and locations. These deviations usually cause a lot of confusion and mistakes. However, Thang, our tour coordinator, took my requested modifications, changed our itinerary precisely as required, and ensured it was executed flawlessly throughout. The tour itself was exceptional. Each day had a well curated sub tour with different guides, and pickup points. Thang coordinated all of the contacts and timing nicely. One hiccup occurred when a bus dropped us at an unexpected location, but Thang responded immediately to my text, and coordinated the contact to our location. Overall the tour exceeded my expectations.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Stephen, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!

Marina
Asked on April 29th, 2025Would like to consult regarding a private tour. We are a group of 3 active senior couples planning to visit Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand in late January 26. We would like to do a private tour visiting Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An for 3-4 nights to visit Marble mountains, Bana Hills and tours of the town and countryside. Hue for 1 night, HCMC, then Siem Reap for 4 nights with tours before flying to Krabi for 5 nights staying in Ao Nang. We would prefer 4-5 star accommodations. Would you be able to make suggestions for accommodations and tours in these places along with a cost estimate?
Realistic AsiaOperator•Written May 2025With the initial request of the package "Spirits Of Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand In 16 Days" which combines different group tours at each destination, the price for 4-star accommodation is US $2,712 per person. With your request to change to all private tours, extend the duration, and add Krabi instead, the price will rise more than US $3,900 per person (estimated).

Nicholas
Asked on March 18th, 2025The tour end in different place from where we started! How I suppose to get back?
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written March 2025
For this trip, you will start in Hanoi, Vietnam and end in Phuket, Thailand. You should book international flights accordingly. International flights are NOT included in this package. You will book it yourself for more flexibility. If you want to come back to Hanoi, you need to take a transit flight through Bangkok. It might be more convenient to find your departure flight from Phuket. For flight assistance, we recommend using websites like Skyscanner, Kayak, Traveloka or Expedia.

Asked on February 5th, 2025I am booked on to this tour with two of my friends sharing a triple room for the trip. I'm just wondering are there options while on the tour to upgrade to a private room from time to time on certain nights or is this something I'd have to book in advance?

- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written December 2024
The $1585 price is based on 2 people sharing a room. As a solo traveler, you'll need to pay a single supplement. Group tours are only available with English-speaking guides. A Spanish-speaking guide would require private tours, which increases the cost.
