    The weather wasn't cold as usual but it was really ideal for an outside visit. We went to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Angkor Wat is a must-see attraction. We visited HCMC, Hoi An, Hanoi, Bavi, and Halong Bay in Vietnam. The entire excursion was fantastic. Shadow (from Realistic Asia) was always accessible to assist and guide us. The communication was very apt and direct. I received a thorough itinerary and a list of necessary documents before the trip. Shadow deserves a special mention.

    Realistic Asia provides an outstanding service!! I was skeptical at first, but they ultimately cleared up all of my doubts and confirmed everything. Thank you for organizing everything necessary to ensure that I was comfortable and secure on my solo trip. The material and anecdotes from Hindu mythology that the guide in Angkor Wat had gathered were invaluable for comprehending the design of Angkor temples. Furthermore, the best advice I received from our Vietnamese guide before visiting Vietnam was the benefit of LOCAL SIMs, which are also incredibly affordable and simple to buy.

    Seamless tour with excellent guides and drivers. Continual engagement with the tour operator who monitored our progress and ensured we had no surprises. The hotels met our expectations and on occasions we were complimentarily upgraded. The operator (Lucy Do ) even took time to meet us in person to receive our feedback. On reflection, the package provided value for money and I would not hesitate in booking a similar tour again.

    My family has been abroad for the first time, and it exceeded all expectations we had! We were very well taken care of by Mr. Long and Realistic Asia. We enjoyed all the destinations we went to, and Realistic Asia planned something interesting for each day. Even when we had a free day we got many good recommendations on what we can do. The transportation and accommodation during the trip were of good quality. Although we all felt a bit tired after over 2 weeks of traveling and long flights to Asia, it was a worth-trying experience that we will never regret.

    The tour is really brilliant. Me and my husband had a chance to visit such wonderful places. Angkor Wat was magnificent for its architecture, while Halong Bay was spectacular for its limestone rocks and sea views. The cruise in Mekong was a real highlight. Besides, the hotels are convenient and well-served. We were a bit worried that the hotel standards in Asia are lower than in our country, but all of them were beyond our expectations. The cuisines were unique and delicious. Overall 5 stars.

    Realistic Asia’s staff was so nice and quick to respond to my concerns, especially Ms. Tessa from the sales team. I was on my solo trip, and the guides were always by me keeping me good company and telling me a lot about each place I visited. I also met interesting people on both cruises in Mekong and Halong Bay, we had an amazing time together. Many highlights in the two countries from the destinations to the people, and all of them were incredible. Thanks, Realistic Asia for taking good care of me.
