  • Delightful Vietnam In 13 Days reviewer 1
    · August 25th, 2023
    This was a life changing, paradigm shifting, incredible tour. Planning Everything was taken care of and planned carefully in advanced and I had my ***day by day*** itinerary, with hotels and other information before the start of the tour. Others travelling similar routes with other tours or on their own seemed to have so many things to think about and price out and worry over and I...didn't. I've solo traveled for years and never felt the safety and confidence in my wonderful agent, amazing tour guides, drivers, hotel staff and the general experience of being ferried from place to place. If there was a problem, contingencies were already in place for any problems. For example, there was a rainy day and we simply switched days of our long hike. I am in awe of how safe and how much confidence I have in Realistic Asia. Tours & Accomodations Of the actual tours themselves, the guides were 100% of the time efficient, competent, helpful, and thoughtful. Also, I would always mention I was vegan at the beginning of the tour and it was absolutely never a problem or questioned and my food was always fabulous. The tours work like sub-tours so I was with a different group each day and the itinerary was almost always spot on. Vietnam

    I am a female solo traveler and booked a trip to Vietnam with Realistic Asia. First of all I should say that this country is very safe and has many nice people, I didn’t have to worry for myself at all. I also like about this trip that I have seen so many places, what will be hard to organize to visit if I will do it on my own. My consultant Hien was regularly in touch with me and we even managed to meet in Hanoi, what was very nice. In each location I was booked in a joining group tours and met lots of nice people, with some of them I still keep in touch. Thank you for the amazing time and good memories. Vietnam will always be in my heart.

    This was the best trip. Everything was organised perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble. Hien always got back to us quickly whenever we emailed her with a query. At first I was a bit anxious about booking with Sviet travel because they were not in Australia but there was certainly nothing to worry about. With all our tours we were picked up on time and all our guides were very knowledgeable and spoke great English. Thank you SViet travel for a trip of a lifetime.
