- Serhiy· November 1st, 2025We had the most amazing 11-day tour of China with Realistic Asia. A huge thank you to our agent, Long Pham, for his outstanding service. He was always quick to answer our questions and checked on us constantly during the trip. We felt so well taken care of! The tour guides were excellent, and we truly felt like royalty. A standout moment was when Long adjusted our schedule to include a visit to the Shanghai Zoo to see the pandas, at no extra cost. It was a fantastic experience! We will 100% be using Realistic Asia for our future travels and are happily recommending them to everyone. Thank you for a memorable adventure! SerhiyShow more

Show moreTrip date: October 2025 - MMMarvin· June 29th, 2025The tour of China was outstanding and well managed by the in-country tour company. I would use Tour Radar again. there were two issues that require tweaking. First, the website depicts the ability to get visa through another company which mis advertised the timeline and required a quick unplanned trip to the China Embassy to obtain the visa. Second, transition information from one city to another was late to be received and caused unneeded concern fo my wife and I. Great once in a lifetime trip.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Marvin, Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
