- AMs Natalie Oebel· June 2nd, 2024Vietnam is a beautiful country with the loveliest people. It was a busy trip with early mornings and packed itineraries, but I didn't want to miss out on any of the excursions. We were very well taken care of and will definitely use this company again. The hotels were much better than expected, truly excellent, and some even had swimming pools. The food was truly impressive, and the beer was cheap. The boat trip on Halong Bay was very peaceful, and we loved the activities in the Mekong Delta. My husband enjoyed biking and kayaking, which were provided. Navigating Hanoi traffic was an experience, but we survived crossing the streets!Show more

The visited locations were interesting and enjoyable, with my favorite being Saigon due to its abundance of things to see and do. Following closely was Hoi An, a riverside town truly magnificent with its many restaurants and glittering lanterns. The overnight on cruise in Halong Bay was an experience better than we expected, and we truly enjoyed and relaxed.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewThank you for your wonderful feedback!

- AJenny· February 23rd, 2024The two-week itinerary gave me a truly fantastic insight into the past and present life in Vietnam. The attractions included temples, pagodas, rice fields, caves, rivers, beautiful lanterns, war tunnels, war museums, and stunning seascapes. Activities ranged from hiking, biking, overnight train rides, ferry rides, to boat trips. The food was diverse and delicious. All the hotels were excellent, and we were warmly welcomed everywhere we went, from restaurants to people's homes. Vietnamese people have endured much hardship but harbor no ill will; they are incredibly warm, hospitable, and courteous.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear customer, We would like to thank you for taking the time to write this review of your holiday.

- AMs Martina Kitzer· February 2nd, 2024I've never visited Southeast Asia before and was very excited to learn about a new culture. This trip includes all the major highlights I wanted to see. Hanoi was bustling, and I struggled with crossing the streets because of the numerous motorbikes. Halong Bay was just as expected, with impressive caves and stunning scenery. Hoi An was also amazing and quite different from other places in Vietnam, like a miniature Hong Kong with colorful lanterns everywhere. One of my favorite spots was the Mekong Delta boat trip. I am so thankful all your team for araanging this, I have so many beautiful memories. There were no complaints about the accommodations; the hotels were beautiful, and charming.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear customer, Thank you for sharing your experience!

- ASusan Roberts· March 19th, 2024Countless activities, experiences, landmarks, and various sounds are encapsulated in this holiday, truly giving you a comprehensive view of Vietnam. The itinerary unfolds continuously with many activities that require physical stamina, such as trekking in Sapa. However, it would be very rewarding if you could participate in all the activities and experiences on the trip. Our guide was attentive and very fit; he helped me carry my backpack during long hikes. After a productive day of activities, we were able to rest and receive massages at fantastic hotels. The itinerary in Hue and Hoi An is not too demanding, allowing you to enjoy and relax while exploring these places.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear customer, Thanks so much for your review!

- AMs Siu Kun Leufer· February 14th, 2024The trip was a continuous cultural experience from North to South Vietnam. Our hotels were of good quality, and we were very well taken care of wherever we stayed. The local food was fantastic and diverse. Traveling through and between Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, and Hochimin, we were exposed to the history and culture of this country. Our guide provided very comprehensive information about the historical events that shaped Vietnam. The activities were well-organized throughout the journey. A bit of walking, a bit of rowing, and some exhilarating biking made up the dynamic part of the vacation. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of kayaking, but this was somewhat compensated by the stunning scenery in Halong Bay.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear customer, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!

- AChrista Buchmann· April 6th, 2024An exciting trip with an engaging mix of sightseeing and activities - highly recommended. The journey helps you learn a lot about this rapidly developing country - its history and current development, with a fascinating contrast between city life and rural life. There is hardly any free time on this trip, but that's the only way to fit everything into two weeks! The Vietnamese people are friendly and warm, and the trip was enjoyable and interesting from start to finish. I was truly surprised by the local cuisine, which was excellent, fresh, and diverse. My first experience working with the travel company Realistic Asia did not disappoint. I will soon return for a slow-paced vacation in Vietnam.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear customer, Thanks so much for your review!

Asked on September 27th, 20241. On day 2, there is some cycling involved. My mum can't cycle, so can we walk at this point instead? 2. For the sapa trekking days (day 5 and 6), is there an easy route to take? My mum can do an easy walk but wouldn't be able to do a challenging hike. So would the group tour be able to accommodate this? 3. For the sapa stay, is this in a hotel or a home stay? We would want to stay in a hotel the entire time. 4. The breakfast on day 6 says it's at a home stay. Would we not have breakfast at the hotel? 5. On day 9, it says it's a cycle trip. However, as my mum can't cycle, is the group tour able to accommodate an alternative to cycling? 6. On day 9, there is a fishing part involved. However, me and my mum are vegetarians so may not want to see this fishing. Is this fishing part optional? 7. How different are the 3* hotels and the 4* hotels? 8. Do you offer any discount? E.g. for nhs staff?
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written September 2024
1. Yes, you and your mum can walk for sightseeing at this point instead. 2. About trekking - it is not too hard, mainly concrete roads, going through villages and going downhill. If you're worry about the long trekking, you can skip Y Linh Ho and have a transfer from hotel to Lao Chai village. 3. You will stay in hotel on Day 4 and local homestay on Day 5. If you want to stay in hotel entire time in Sapa, yes, I can change it. 4. If you stay in Sapa hotel entirely, you will have breakfast at the hotel. 5. I can change to another tour which join the tour with a car. 6. Yes, you can skip fishing activity, it's a small activity in this tour, not compulsory to join all. 7. 4-star hotels will be much better than 3-star as you have to pay more to get it and it will give you better amenities and properties.
