What people love about Mekong Delta Tours from Ho Chi Minh City
- Mekong Delta from Saigon to Phnom Penh 3 days
What an amazing journey through Mekong. Very good driver and fantastic guide Yen - it felt more like being with a good friend than a guide. She made things so simple for us and we really enjoyed her company and first hand knowledge. Thank you. We will definitely recommend Yen and this tour
- Romance of Vietnam In 12 Days - Private Tour
Our tour around Vietnam was absolutely fantastic. We experienced a really well planned itinerary that fit is no much of Vietnam but also did not feel rushed. It felt like a very special private experience of the country and all of the guides we had along the way were local people who were both very lovely and had so much knowledge and advice to share! Every part of the trip was well planned and on time. Edna from Realistic Asia was always in communication with us, checking in and making sure things ran smoothly. We really appreciated this and she was incredibly helpful throughout the trip. We had the chance to meet her at the end which was also really lovely! On one occasion the we had trouble finding the taxi from the airport but Edna was immediately on hand and sorted this for us in minutes - she is excellent! This trip is a great mix of planned activities and also time to explore ourselves which was actually perfect for Vietnam. This trip has inspired us to return in the future and see more of Vietnam and we would definitely book with Realistic Asia again.

Great tour. However the last day went too long from 8am to 8pm.
