- 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.

He was always quick to answer any questions we had and always found a solution for us. 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. I would definitely recommend Realistic Asia and this tour to others.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Richard, Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful feedback!

- 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!

Eva
Asked on July 6th, 2025How does payment plan work
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written July 2025
To confirm the trip, you need to pay a 20% deposit of the package; the remaining balance will be paid 2 months in advance. TourRadar will send you a reminder for the remaining payment or automatically charge your card on that day. In addition, there is a local payment amount that you pay us directly by credit card or cash on the first day, not on TourRadar.

Steven
Asked on July 2nd, 2025How does the recent tourist travel restrictions by Thailand affect this tour?
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written July 2025
Despite conflicting media reports, flights between Thailand and Cambodia operate normally. There are no restrictions on air travel, and all scheduled routes continue as usual.

Crystal
Asked on June 30th, 2025Can I be picked up from Noi Bai International airport on February 2nd 2026 that will give me extra time to discover Hanoi.
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written July 2025
Yes, I can arrange an airport pick-up for you on Feb 2nd 2026. During this Spirits Of Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand In 16 Days 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 the 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. The tours in Thailand and Cambodia are private tours.
- R
Ryan
Asked on June 28th, 2025I am a single traveler could you hook me up with another person that's male, or if I travel alone with matter roommate is there a surcharge
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written June 2025
Currently, we do not support tours that have groups that can join you from the beginning to the end of the trip. Each customer will have a different convenient schedule, such as their duration, their travel date, or the different international flights. Therefore, it will be difficult to find someone with the same dates, the same interests as you, as well as willing to share the room with you. The price will be higher than the price of a group of 2 people (Sharing the room, transfer, tour cost,...) with a single supplement charge.
- T
Taylor
Asked on June 19th, 2025Would it be possible to book a tour without a specific date? I want to go around Tết next year.
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written June 2025
Honestly no, we need a specific traveler date to set up services for your trip and create an invoice for you to complete the reservation. You told that you want to do this trip around Tết next year (Feb 2026), it's the biggest holiday of Vietnamese people, many businesses and services may be closed or have limited hours, crowd in some destinations, and you have to pay Public holiday surcharge or Compulsory Gala Dinner (if any), which are NOT included in our package, which will make the cost for this trip higher.
- T
Taylor
Traveler•Written July 2025At the moment, the exact travel dates are dependent on the school year, so I'm not yet sure if I'll be able to take this trip in 2026. However, I do plan to go within the next four years for sure. I'll likely be traveling solo and would prefer 4-star accommodation when the time comes. Once I have a better idea of my schedule and can commit to specific dates, I'll definitely reach out again to move forward with planning and get a quote.
