- 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
We decided to choose this tour for our anniversary. Snorkeling on Cham island was an interesting activity, along with meeting locals and watching them make sticky rice wrapped in coconut leaves (It’s very delicious). Besides, we were extremely impressed by the cruise on Halong Bay during our tour. Beautiful scenery, well-trained and pleasant service, and delectable cuisine made it truly an unforgettable experience for us. After this long journey, we felt satisfied and happy with the service of Realistic Asia. Thanks!
