- ARea Vogel· June 3rd, 2024This 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.

- AShiv Taneja· March 2nd, 2024Vietnam 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.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear customer, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience!

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.
