Realistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Monique, Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed Hanoi and found Luang Prabang as gorgeous as we do. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to planning another memorable journey for you! Realistic Asia teamTrip date: October 2024 - RPRobert· May 14th, 2025*Took the 18 day tour of Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia with Realistic Asia. The trip went off with a hitch, all the transportation to and from four airports was great. The tour guides were very good, but Mr. Thang from Realistic Asia was the whole reason this trip went off without a hitch. Mr. Thang helped navigate through the visa process for each country and once we landed he was in constant contact to ensure everything was done to our satisfaction. Mr. Thang answered questions quickly and was able to ensure we could enjoy our trip.* *A BIG thanks to Mr. Thang and Realistic Asia for a well organized tour.*Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Robert, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience!

- Leonard· February 24th, 2025We recently booked the 18-day Indochina tour with Realistic Asia, traveling through Bangkok, Siem Reap, and Vietnam (Saigon, Hoi An, and Hanoi) in early February, and it was absolutely amazing getting to know the rich cultures of Southeast Asia! Given that we booked only 3 weeks in advance, we were pleasantly surprised by how smoothly everything went. A special shoutout to our agent, Chris Tran, who was exceptional throughout the entire process. He was always in touch to make sure we were doing well, offering helpful advice on how to spend our free time without ever being pushy. His guidance really enhanced our experience and ensured we made the most of both the planned activities and our downtime. The price for the entire tour was very fair, especially considering the level of service and attention to detail we received. There was also a good balance between activities and free time, which allowed us to explore at our own pace. The activities, especially those with private guides in Thailand and Cambodia, were exceptional. Some experiences, like Halong Bay, had a bit of a mass tourism vibe, but they were still incredibly enjoyable. Even though it felt a bit crowded at times, the natural beauty of these places made it worth it. If you’re looking for a stress-free way to experience Southeast Asia, this is the way to go. You get to see all the major highlights, meet locals and fellow travelers, and enjoy amazing experiences without spending hours researching each location, booking hotels, flights, taxis and tours. It truly felt like we were on “easy mode”. Highly recommend Realistic Asia!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Leonard, Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

- YBYvonne· July 15th, 2024Great tour overall, wish we had longer to spend in each place but we did get a taste of where we would like to go back. The tour guides in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap and Luang Prabang were all excellent. The one in Bangkok had a very short time with us but also was not as engaging, though nice enough. We felt more of a tour of Bangkok would have been helpful. Hotels were all great, very very good for what are listed as three star hotels though we were in premium rooms in each. A pity the pool in Bangkok has short hours, closing at 7. Location was ideal in all except Bangkok. Overall excellent value for money. We loved the cultural and historical aspects of the tours, cooking lessons, bike rides, boat rides, visits to traditional villages and to silk production project in Siem Reap. We were super lucky with the weather given the tour was in July. Hot and humid but rain mostly overnight and we were able to make the most of each location. We added on a visit to an elephant sanctuary on our free day in Bangkok and that was fantastic.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Yvonne, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with Realistic Asia!
