    We had a great time on the trip with realistic Asia. Edna our travel specialist was always available to answer any questions and helped us out immediately. Everything worked out perfectly. We especially liked the time in Hanoi and the hiking in Sapa! We would highly reccomend traveling with realistic asia and would choose this company again!

    My partner and I toured Vietnam in May - June with Realistic Asia. We had the most magical time visiting most of the highly rated tourist locations, with Sapa and Ha Long Bay being our favourite places. We also had a representative called 'Thang Tran' assigned to look after us, from our initial enquiries, through to our time in country. Thang was a fantastic representative for his company, always providing a quick response and checking in on us daily whilst we were travelling and going above and beyond when we had any questions or issues. We highly recommend using Realistic Asia based on our experience dealing with Thang.

    We really enjoyed this trip to Vietnam. The country was so beautiful, the population is so friendly and the food is delicious! We are really grateful to Realistic Asia for the great service they have provided! They have taken well care of us, even before traveling and upon our return. They were consistently in touch with us to ensure that everything was going well. We had one issue with one activity but independent of the Tour's will (celebration of 50 years independence which affected traffic) and they successfully did everything to make it work despite the circumstances! The tour was well organized, intense but wouldn't change a thing. The hotels were pretty good as well and well located. We highly recommend this tour!

    The 14 days trip to Vietnam was amazing. It is a beautiful and rich country with lots to offer. I was especially amazed by the beautiful landscapes. Our trip was well organized we did not have any issues. Thank you team and especially Long Pham who helped to facilitate all this for us. He tracked our movements and always made sure we were well taken care of and that we received all the help we needed. I highly recommend this trip for anyone hoping to visit Asia.

    I am a regular traveller and I always prefered to travel alone and not as part of an organised tour. Being a foreign country, I signed up with Tourradar for the 14 Vietnam tour. It was a well organised and well worked out plan with all the support one can wish for. Absolutely nothing went wrong and the accommodation was first class. The organisers also left enough individual free time so one can explore on your own. My next holiday will be definitely with Tourrader. Lastly, I have to acknowledge the excellent support and backup from Long Pam. He was always on top of everything, not leaving one for a moment wondering "what next". A real professional and dedicated man. Thank you so much.

    Tour guide Edna was sensational, everything just worked out. Super organization and great support. All dates / programs and everything was kept on time. The composition of the trip was also good. Unfortunately, the expectations of the landscape were not fulfilled by far. Neither the mountains nor Halong or the Mekong are anything special. (!) All destinations are extremely touristy, mass processing at its best! The tip vultures are waiting on every corner, visitors are constantly hassled. When trekking (dirt-in), a group of local helpers suddenly joins in, constantly chattering at you. Everything is geared towards tips and sales. The trekking is a very slippery, steep mud battle. Most people (much younger than us) could barely manage this path. A trip to forget. The hotels and food were good with mostly a decent selection. Conclusion: If someone appreciates the above, then the traveler is in good hands. I would not recommend the trip to a friend or I would at least mention the details.

All questions
  • K

    Ken

    Asked on June 21st, 2025

    What is the difference between the 3-Star, 4-Star and 5-Star accommodations?

    Accommodation
    • Realistic AsiaOperatorWritten June 2025

      The difference between hotel types that greatly affect the price is the basic factors such as the location, furniture, room size, room view, and amenities. The higher the type of hotel, the more comfortable the experience. All our hotels are in the center of cities and are inspected to ensure the service so based on the budget you can consider the reasonable option. For 3-star and 4-star, you will join some partial group tours. For 5-star hotels, besides the higher hotel standards, the tour will be private completely at a higher cost.

    what is the best suggested month to do this tour as each area of Vietnam can differ in humidity-temperature-rain etc?

    Tour Details
    • Realistic AsiaOperatorWritten June 2025

      Based on your given information, I highy recommend traveling to Vietnam from November through April, which really shines in Vietnam with cooler temps and less rain. This package covers highlights from North to South in Vietnam such as Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Sapa, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City. I want to clarify that during this tour, you will join the 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.

And I want to clarify that during this tour based on English-speaking guides, you will join the group tours in Vietnam (group size maybe 12-20 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 a group tour for excursion at each place, for airport pick up and accommodation are private. Based on your initial request for 2 adults, departing on 13th Oct 2025, the price of 3-star accommodation will be: US $899 + $300 (local payment) = US $1,199/person.
