- JTJosef· October 5th, 2025We just finished a 13-day trip across Vietnam and it was amazing! I loved the mix of culture, nature, and relaxation, especially having time to unwind in Hoi An before exploring Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels, and the Mekong Delta. Everything was organized smoothly, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and the hotels were great. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam!Show more

Show moreTrip date: November 2024- Claudia· November 29th, 2024We had an incredible tour in Vietnam! Even with our limited time, we managed to visit every spot on our list, and each activity was truly remarkable. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the breathtaking landscapes of Sapa and the historical charm of Hue, every destination offered its own unique beauty. The excursions to Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta were absolute highlights for me; I found them especially enjoyable and memorable. The stunning scenery and rich culture made those experiences unforgettable.

- Gertraud· November 24th, 2024"13 days Vietnam Experience" booked through Tourradar, organizer Realistic Asia, supervised by Mr Long Pham: this tour was perfectly organized. I particularly liked the fact that, depending on the location, new groups could be formed, whose participants came from different countries all over the world and were also accompanied by changing tour guides who had particularly good knowledge of these locations. The number of tour participants was in small groups with an average of 8-10 people. We had only booked 3* hotels and these were of good quality. The selection of restaurants through Realistic Asia was good with very good food. The breakfast in the respective hotels was also varied and delicious. The means of transport - limousines - were new, the drivers were careful and we felt safe! The tour guides are extremely well trained, their language (english) is easy to understand. Special mention should be made of the tour guide "Mrs Lala", who led two trekking tours in Sapa excellently, and "Mr Thanh", who spoke about Ho Chi Minh and the terrible war with his liveliness and enormous historical knowledge. I would like to highlight something that was absolutely new for us as world travelers. It is the enormous effort of the entire tour support via WhatsApp by the tour manager "Long Pham". For example, daily checks were made to see if everything was OK and reminders were given of the pick-up times. If there was the slightest disagreement (there was only one tiny one in a hotel), a positive solution was found immediately. We would like to say a special thank you for that, because something like that is probably unique! Thank you, thank you!! I can definitely recommend Realistic Asia and will use the services of this tour operator again! Maybe you will even be lucky enough to be looked after by Mr Long Pham!Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Gertraud, Thank you so much for your detailed and glowing review.
