    Our 17-day tour of Cambodia and Vietnam was fantastic. Everything worked perfectly, from the transportation, to being met at each destination, hotels, and especially all our guides. And a special thanks to Long Pham, who contacted us each night about pick-ups each morning. We plan on using Realistic Asia for our next Asian trip.

    This tour is incredible! We got to see so much in a relatively short period of time! We especially enjoyed Siem Reap and being able to see Angkor Wat. We also really got a sense of how important the Mekong River is to both countries traveling through that area. Hoi An is incredibly beautiful and while it was crowded and very touristy at night, being able to experience it's charm in the morning and early afternoon hours was wonderful. We had private guides in Cambodia and a few in Vietnam which made us feel really spoiled when we encountered large tour groups at sights. Ha Long Bay was beautiful! It was so comforting knowing all of the connections from one place to the next were arranged and all went flawlessly. Our travel advisor Long was available to communicate with us along the way and answered any questions or concerns very promptly. Highly recommend this tour!

    Every single destinations were truly authentic and unique, especially the boat-riding experience in Mekong Delta. The accommodations were excellent, and everything was well-organized. This tour was a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore Southeast Asia! Big thanks to Realistic Asia!
