Trip date: November 2024 - Mohamed· November 15th, 2024I had a very good time on this trip. Both Tour Radar and the local tour operator "Realistic Asia" were on top of their game. Tháng (my local guide) was always available to assist whenever needed. The reason I am rating this trip 4 stars is because I fell victim to my own expectations. I have traveled thru other less developed countries and both Vietnam and Thailand were not much different. Food was good in both countries but after a while having similar food each day got a little boring for me. I also don't eat pork so I had to find alternatives as many things are made with pork. Tour guides for local tours were all friendly and helpful. Three days dedicated to Sapa was not my cup of tea as I only enjoy hiking so much. Traveling almost 6 hours each way from Hanoi to Sapa for a few hours of hiking was not worth it to me. Halong Bay overnight cruise was the highlight of my trip. Walking city food tours in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok is worth doing. All in all I recommend taking this trip. Hotels were all A+ and travel arrangements within countries all good. Phuket is a wonderful destination if you like beaches and a laid back lifestyle.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Mohamed, Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback!

- Mayo· November 11th, 2022It was my first time on a tour longer than one week. We had different guides in each location, and they were just AMAZING! They were very professional and made my trip the incredible experience I dreamed about. I enjoyed Sapa the most, I could see beautiful landscapes and learn the customs of local minorities. Other places are gorgeous too. I was more than pleased!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Mayo, Thanks a lot for sharing your travel experience and your kind words.

- John· October 27th, 2022My friends and I had a great time seeing a lot of spectacular landscapes in Vietnam and Thailand. The day activities were enjoyable for both the elder and the young. We worried a bit about trekking in Sapa, because one of us had problems with her legs, but the guides arranged it at a slow pace and adjusted the route for us. I didn’t think Vietnam was so magnificent until this trip. Thailand was incredible too, the food was fantastic, and we even visited the cooing school in Phuket. The beach was stunning, and the hotel we stayed at in Phuket was the best.

- Rosean· October 24th, 2022It was the third time I’d been to Thailand, but this time was the best because Realistic Asia arranged it so well. Previously I was visiting only island destinations like Phuket and Samui, and this time it was my first visit to Bangkok and Chiang Mai. I saw a completely different Thailand with incredibly beautiful nature and stunning temples. The visit to the elephant sanctuary was a highlight, and what I liked about it, is that the animals were treated well, and there were no rides offered, it was a real sanctuary. It was amazing to see these beautiful animals in their natural environment.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Rosean, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!

Thank Realistic Asia for this well-operated tour. Everything was like made for only me and my wife. More than exploring our beloved countries and tasting the most special cuisine, you brought lasting memories to our lifetime travel. I will recommend this tour to my friends, outstanding!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Will, thank you for your nice words.

- Fang· July 11th, 2022Outstanding services ! I would recommend this tour to anyone. As someone who has had Asia on the top of their ‘to visit list’ for many years, I am so glad I did it this way. Aside from the beauty that Vietnam and Thailand have their own, I think the itinerary Realistic Asia designed was much better value for money than the others on offer. The hotels during the trip were convenient and well-served. The cuisines were unique and scrumptious. The transportation was as varied as possible to be suitable for each destination’s terrain, which brought us special experiences. Ashley, who organized our trip, was professional and hospitable. If you’re hesitating about booking this tour, just do it you won’t regret.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Fang, Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing the feedback about your holiday.

- Hannah· July 11th, 2022Our tour guide Gracy made our trip unforgettable. I don’t think it would be possible to find a tour guide that genuinely loves Asia like her. She has amazingly wide knowledge about Vietnam and Thailand, their culture and people, so you will get to know the two countries very well. When she talked, her passion for what she did came through as if she wanted everyone else to love Asia as much as her. Together, we always had something to laugh about and some funny experiences in each destination during the trip. She helped us when we wanted to get the hotel room upgrades to have the best experience. Even after finishing the tour she spent time planning for us last few days in Thailand. All together, we had two enjoyable weeks in Asia. Thanks Gracy!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewHi Hannah, we are glad you enjoyed our services during your port visit.

About Day 5: Trekking Through The Beautiful Landscapes - Y Ling Ho - Lao Chai - Ta Van. Actually, it is not too hard, mainly concrete roads, going through villages and going downhill. If you're worry about the long trekking, let me suggest like that, you can skip Y Linh Ho and arrange a transfer from hotel to Lao Chai village to have your lunch and take your trekking in the afternoon, it'll be more comfortable?

Belinda
Asked on August 31st, 2024You charge more than twice the price for a single traveller than you do for two people in a room. On top of that, you have not taken into account that two people eat twice as many meals as one person, take up two seats on flights and cars and have two entry fees instead of one. In other words, your single supplement is at least 150%.
