    I booked this tour randomly, and even though it was totally over my budget, I definitely didn't regret it at all. I had a chance to experience so many exciting activities, visit beautiful places, and have amazing food experiences. The hotel was more luxurious than I planned :)))). Definitely one of my best trips!

    I highly recommend this trip! My sisters and I had a fantastic experience with the team. They were very interactive and responded to questions quickly. The tour itself was impressive and well-connected, creating a sense of harmony. It gave us a local immersion experience, not just a typical one. I would definitely use Realistic Asia again!

    This Vietnamese tour was amazing! Not only did I get to visit many beautiful places, but also every place we went had delicious food. It all started with a cooking class in Ba Vi with Mrs. Chin, and continued with special spring rolls in the Mekong Delta. We even learned to cook some dishes ourselves in Hoi An. It was a great journey through Hanoi, Ba Vi, Lan Ha Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong.

    Vietnam is a fascinating country, and I think this tour truly showcased its beauty very well. We were really happy with our experience with Realistic Asia. - The itinerary was great. We got to see and experience things that were engaging and exciting. (i really like Bavi one) - The transportation was spacious and efficient, and it was always on time. - The accommodations were comfortable and cozy. I think they were the best you could get for that price. - The guides were knowledgeable and professional, and some even had a great sense of humor. (Especially Josh, the one from the cruise) - I can't forget to mention the support from Long from the Realistic Asia team. He did a great job following up with me during the trip to see if I needed anything. He was really helpful and nice. I think my overall experience with this tour was enriching. I can't recommend this tour enough.

    The tour itself was good, but what truly made this trip excellent was the incredible support from Thang. We encountered an issue during the tour, but Thang helped us resolve it perfectly. With his support, I dont think I have anything to complaints about the tour. Thank you, Thang for your wonderful assistance. You wont ever feel like on your own during the tour.

    My mom and I really enjoyed this tour. We saw so many amazing places, experienced many interesting activities, and even participated in several enjoyable cooking classes. I think the Bavi cooking class one was the best (really like the fried spring rolls)! We highly recommend this trip!

    We absolutely loved this tour. All the activities, attractions, transportation, the local guide, the food, the hotels, and the customer service were all amazing. Unfortunately, my kid came down with a fever during our first night on the Halong Bay cruise. However, the cruise staff was incredibly helpful, constantly checking on us and so was the Realistic Asia team. We're truly happy with this trip and want to thank Thang Tran and the entire Realistic Asia team for making it such a wonderful experience.
