    Our trip to Vietnam was fantastic! Everything was meticulously arranged and went incredibly smoothly. Our dedicated agent was truly exceptional and always met our needs. We were pleased with the hotels and the tour guides. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and gained valuable insights into Vietnam. The presentation at the Cu Chi Tunnels was meaningful and moving. Without hesitation, we highly recommend this tour to others.

    Our experience on this tour was comfortable. The English-speaking guides were excellent, and the hotel pick-up service was always punctual. We were able to explore all the major sites in Vietnam. Our travel consultant was outstanding and talented. He promptly addressed all our questions and showed valuable recommendations on restaurants, attractions, and even the pick-up times for the next day's tours. Having this information in advance gave us peace of mind. The hotels we chose were excellent, with friendly staff, delicious buffet breakfasts, and convenient locations near the attractions.

    I appreciate the company's customer service, always checking in and assisting us throughout the trip via Whatsapp. Our 10 days trip was wonderful, thanks to the meticulous supervision of the travel consultant and his team. During the journey, the weather was hotter than forecasted, but thanks to the quick thinking of our guide, we were provided with excellent alternative options that suited us perfectly. We would like to thanks to Realistic Asia for organizing such memorable experiences for us.

    Our trip was wonderful! Our travel consultant, Thang, assisted us with visas and every small detail of the trip. He went above and beyond to customize the trip to our preferences, including making restaurant reservations at our request. I greatly appreciate his enthusiastic and prompt assistance. There were many highlights in our itinerary, such as the colorful lantern streets in Hoi An and the narrow, hard-to-spot entrances of the Cu Chi Tunnels. Highly recommend this itinerary.

    The trip went according to plan: the hotels and tours were chosen wisely, and the guide was perfect, speaking fluent French and eager to share the culture of his beautiful country. Our flight to Hue was delayed, but the driver and guide still waited for us and took us to the hotel. The hotel in Hue was wonderful; it was a boutique hotel with a view of the Perfume River. I also really enjoyed the food in Hue and Hanoi.

    Our family is very fortunate to have such courteous, knowledgeable, and cheerful tour guides. I want to extend my thanks to Thang for being very diligent in providing advice and always being available when I needed. Each day's itinerary was interesting, the hotels were quite beautiful and deeply reflected Vietnamese culture. Everything went smoothly. We will use your company again in the future and will recommend it to friends.

    This was an outstanding and memorable trip which taught us so much about the history, culture and geography of Vietnam. Highlights included seeing vibrant local markets, tasting Vietnamese cuisine, and taking in the breathtaking landscape, particularly Halong Bay. The hotels were nicer than my expectations, and the breakfasts in hotels were quite tasty. The drivers and tour guides were always on time and friendly. I'm so happy with this vacation.
