We purchased this tour because we wanted to have an authentic, local experience and learn about the food/agriculture, culture and history of Vietnam. It did not disappoint. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, and the food was fanta..stic. The tour provides an easy and relaxing way to see all about Vietnam. It is very comprehensive as it covers many cities but you never felt rushed. The stay at the cruise in Halong is great. We also want to thank Linh from Realistic Asia travel agent who was very responsive to our inquiries. She timely updated us with covid travel requirement changes and helped us complete all necessary documents for the trip.Read full review
96% Enjoyed Every Moment of This Vietnamese Culinary Adventure!

We're four foodies, and it's a fantastic experience. We enjoyed testing new foods and flavors. We really appreciated that the food sampling was done differently in each destination and that it was paired with some sightseeing. Hanoi has the.. best food, but Ho Chi Minh had the most fascinating tours. On the other hand, we believe that a long journey like this will include more local fare, allowing us to enjoy it more.Read full review
Lots of surprises!!!! Joining different groups in each city was very new for me. Every visitor was so friendly and we took lots of pics together. What amazed me was the local guide in Hoi An cause he was proficient in both English, French a..nd, of course, Vietnamese. He was also informative and punctual, so were other guides. While on the tour they checked in with us several times to make sure everything was good. A friend of mine had gone for another tour to Vietnam two previous days, she told me that her domestic flight was delayed for 2 hours. I was luckier than her, everything in my trip went so smoothly. I totally enjoyed the trip!Read full review
We have recently returned from our vacation to Vietnam and we’re very happy about it. The tour is an excellent way to learn about Vietnam in general. A top-notch, trustworthy travel agent who provides clients with high standard service. W..e were content with this except for the flight's delay from Hanoi to Hue. We had to wait over 1 hour in the departure lounge, which left my kids exhausted when we arrived in Hue. However, the rest of the trip was excellent with comfortable rooms.Read full review
Places were amazing, but above all the guides were AWESOME! We did a package tour through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Phuket Thailand. Thoroughly enjoyed a very affordable first-class experience. The journey in Vietnam is extremely worthwhile. I.. have known Vietnam through the war with the US, but this is the first time I come to Vietnam, the country is extremely beautiful and lovely. I will come back to Vietnam shortly.Read full review
96% Overall Great Experience—Comfortable Transport, Helpful Guide

Everyone was very punctual for pick-up, courteous and helpful. Good transport with comfortable air-conditioned vehicles. The only negative thing about the itinerary is the lack of time to spend in Siem Reap. If we could have an early flight.. from HCMC, we could have seen more in Siem Reap. The flight was delayed 4 hours behind schedule, it is not your false, I just felt like a waste of time. Guide in Hanoi - Ms. Trang - Very good command of English. However, she seemed more interested in her mobile than in showing us around. Guides in HCM & Siem Reap: Very good, Very polite, and knowledgeable. Thanks, Esther for arranging everything for us. You went out of the way to book shows etc.Read full review
We went on an amazing 16-day trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand and loved it. The company made the whole process very smooth and easy. They were fast at replying, and communication was easy. Our guides and drivers were locals and could.. tell a lot about each place we visited. We are happy with the selection of activities, we tried a little bit of everything: temples, swimming, cruising, taking boat rides, and walking tours, so it was fun and not boring at all.Read full review
A tour is made memorable by its planning and the experiences which happen only if your guide is good. We had Mr.Long as our advisor and he planned a perfect itinerary for us to cover the maximum also taking care that it is not exhaustive. T..hanks, Realistic Asia, great going!Read full review
Wow what an experience! Food was beyond delicious, hotels were decent. Last hotel Majestic Saigon was truly 5 star. Realistic Asia is more than just an agency, they are amazing people trying to make your experience extra special!
After reading so many encouraging reviews about Realistic Asia, we decided to take a 11-day tour in Vietnam. Everything we read before was accurate. It is a local agent, and everything was sorted and organized fast. Although the traffic in ..this area is chaotic, all of our drivers made us feel safe. Don't skip the journey by bicycle and round boat in Hoi An, it was the most fun! It is quite serene! Our guide Alex and Realistic Asia did a fantastic job of making us feel at home in a place so different from ours.Read full review
I have a wonderful trip to many beautiful beaches in Vietnam. All the cafes and restaurants are reasonably priced. The weather is perfect. Beach goes forever, some front of a guest house on some stretches there is nobody. In front of cafes ..and guesthouses, the beach is very clean. The ocean is at the perfect temperature, with little breeze and unlike other places, the waves are small, so kids are not afraid to go in. Vietnam's beaches are very picturesque.Read full review

Had the best time on the the company Vietnam 12 day tour back in December. Brad was the best host/friend/tour guide I could have asked for! The best locations, activities and amazing local experiences. Made friends for life and will travel ..with the company again :)Read full review
Had the absolute BEST time in Vietnam, truly a five star experience!
This was my first time solo travelling and I was naturally a bit apprehensive having no idea what to expect. But from the moment that we met at the airport, Brad was the.. most friendly, fun, easy going character and I was instantly put at ease and knew I was going to be in for a great trip! Brad was the literal best tour guide we could have possibly asked for! He is a great laugh, easy to get along with and made great friendships with EVERYBODY on the trip. He really set the tone for the entire trip, creating a great atmosphere for us all to get along. Our tour group are still great friends and see each other to this day, and I think thats in no small part due to the atmosphere Brad created on the tour. Very thankful!
The tour itself is incredibly well organised. Every day is packed with exciting activities and unique experiences and as everything is sorted for you, it takes ALL the stress and hassle out of travelling. This meant the group were at ease for the entire trip, and we could just relax and have fun! You also get to see a hell of a lot within the 12 days! Highlights for me include the Ninh Binh bike ride and the Ha Long Bay private island stay. Amazing experiences!
I will be putting my deposit down for my next trip with the company very soon and I CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH to anybody, who is currently thinking about it, to do the same!Read full review
Anyone considering doing a tour (solo or with friends) please do. You will have the best time!
I did the 12 day Vietnam tour in March.
This trip is jam packed with activities, culture and fun! The perfect mix of partying and touristy st..uff. The best part being its all planned for you so you can just enjoy yourself!
I went with my friend and we had the best group, but it would of been no problem being on your own at all as the full group were all besties by Ha Long Bay.
This was the first time Id done any type of group tour, I had high expectations as Id heard great things about the company but it exceeded all of them!
Our group leader Adrian was a complete gem, he was so much fun (even made the overnight train a blast!) and also handled anything you needed like a pro, he always made sure every person was having the best time! Everything youd look for as a tour leader!
Thanks for the trip was absolutely amazing, cant wait to do more soon! :)Read full review
