  • Discover Vietnam and Laos In 8 Days reviewer 1
    · March 1st, 2023
    It was the last minute booking, but it worked out well! Lucy was always in contact with us, and very helpful. We upgraded to 4 star hotels, and were very happy with the choice. It took us just one week to discover the best places in Vietnam and Laos! And we extended the tour for 3 nights to enjoy the sea at Mui Ne. What could be improved with the tour itinerary, in my personal opinion, would be skipping Cu Chi, or making it within one day together with Mekong Delta. I would prefer an extra day at Mui Ne, rather than driving several hours to Cu Chi and back with a numerous group and a hardly English-speaking guide. All other guides spoke good English. Most of all we enjoyed Halong Bay luxury cruise and Laos private tour! Many thanks to Lucy and Realistic Asia!

    An excellent 8 day tour organised with realistic Asia. Traveling alone l thought that there would be the same people everyday but I toured with different people every day. Always a great group…. in Luang Prabane l was alone with the guide and driver so felt very privileged. All the transport and hotels were great. The Halong bay cruise a highlight and the boat trip on the Mekong perfect! Almost daily WhatsApp messages to check l was okay was very reassuring.

      It's just that I don't speak French so hopefully an English speaking tour? I would have a three star hotel, so hopefully planning an extra night at the Villa Maydou.
