- TRThea· April 14th, 2025Our trip was fantastically organised, especially by Long Pham who texted us directly after our booking and informed us daily about the programme, the pick-up and thought along with us enormously. This trip was absolutely very intensive because we saw so much in 13 days. A few days of relaxation to conclude (beach) is certainly an option to consider adding to this trip, but I really wouldn’t have wanted to miss anything from the entire tour.Show more

Show moreTrip date: July 2024- SRSasikala· September 26th, 2024Our experience with this company had been excellent throughout our journey. I have to rearrange the dates twice due to personal issues and they were very accommodating. We were fully satisfied with the itinerary. It covered all the important places both in Thailand and Vietnam. Thang helped us to get all the necessary documents relating to travel and responded to our questions promptly. He was easily contactable 24/7. All the guides were very knowledgeable. The guides have been excellent. I would particularly like to mention two names:Tran Quoc Khai and Pond. They were exceptional with their knowledge, enthusiasm, passion and communication. Knock was good in her knowledge but it would have been good if she expressed enthusiasm and passion. Novotel hotel wasn’t upto 4 * standard. The other hotels were really good. All the drivers were very good and warm. Overall we are very satisfied with everything.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Sasikala, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
