Ive just finished the 12 day Vietnam tour with Sam Smith. I have been on a few the company trips, as well as running a few myself. But I can fully say that Sam is the best group leader Ive come across! The Vietnam tour is amazing, and is de..finitely now one of my favourite countries. Ive made some fab friendships with people too! Its been an amazing trip overall, I have nothing bad to say about any of it. Ive got to experience some amazing things on this tour, and have seen the most beautiful of places. Sam was fantastic with every single person on this tour. Hes been a great support system, been super helpful, and has had me and a lot of the guys on this tour in stitches probably every day. He is an asset to the company. ¸Read full review
Had the most incredible 12 days on the the company Vietnam tour. The people were amazing and especially our group leader Josh who made the experience so stress free and enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience Vietn..am!Read full review
I had the most incredible 9 days in Vietnam, genuinely some of the best days of my life. There was never a dull moment and I feel I got to experience the best bits. Most of this was down to having such an incredible team leader, Josh. He wa..s so patient, kind and had the best energy that really made the whole experience. My bag was lost at the airport and I didnt have it for the majority of the trip but he did everything he could to get it back safely and as quickly as possible. I never felt worried because of his constant support. Im so grateful and glad I did this tour and couldnt recommend it more to anyone ¸Read full review
In general, it’s an excellent tour but there’s only 1 thing I don't like. It’s the 2nd time I’ve been to Hoi An but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first time. It’s maybe due to the heavy rain, preventing us from experiencing s..ome outside activities. Moreover, the rain also made the outside of the hotel dirty and noisy and it’s really annoying. However, other destination was perfect with the beauty of cities, friendliness of locals and great service from the travel agency.Read full review

Since this was our first group tour vacation, we didn’t know what to expect. Luckily we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We followed the advice from previous reviews and chose Realistic Asia as the tour operator. That’s the ..best decision. The schedule was packed with activities so you can experience everything the area has to offer, but it also includes downtime. I was amazed by Hanoi's streets. They were very busy. What an experience crossing the streets :) Halong Bay's boat accommodations and cuisine were of the highest caliber. It’s also the first time we have cycled around the countryside and we’re so welcomed by local people. They smiled, waved and even shouted out “Hello” to us. One tip for travelling to Vietnam is you should learn a few key Vietnamese phrases to impress a few locals, they would like you. In short, that was incredible! Thank you Realistic Asia and Vietnam!Read full review
Everything was very organized, and we loved every place we visited. The countryside tour in Ba Vi was very interesting, the guide told us it is Realistic Asia's sustainable project to support the local community, and we really appreciate th..eir attitude. The only thing is that there were some minor issues with the hotel in Hoi An, where the door lock wasn't working properly. But overall we enjoyed every moment of our trip. Many thanks for organizing everything!Read full review
The focus was on food which was the purpose of the trip. We got to try so many dishes that we would not have tried if we were on our own. We had many authentic local experiences which added much to our understanding of the food and culture...Read full review
Excellent travel schedule for first time travel to Vietnam. Honestly, at first I worried that the itinerary's time constraints would prevent us from having enough time to really explore all the places we went, but it turned out that this wa..s not the case. The timetable was well-planned as we had the balance between relaxing time and visiting time. We were so delighted. The overnight on cruise in Halong Bay was excellent. We were quite pleased with the encounter and seafood. Would adore doing this voyage next time visiting Vietnam. We will possibly spend two nights there.Read full review
Great experience. Would I do it again? absolutely yes. Our tour guides were awesome, hotel staff and the room were very nice. I appreciate the tour agency for taking care of clients so carefully. One of my friends is vegetarian and they did.. assure that all the included meals for her are no-meat.Read full review
We had never been to Vietnam before, so it's important to travel with an open mind to new cultures. Although not everything was perfect, my review gives the guides we had a great deal of credit for. Be prepared for a lot of travel on this t..rip, although our roads which were used older buses—were generally decent. However, this is all a part of the experience, and all the positives—the people, the tour guide, and all the food stops—outweigh the drawbacks. This vacation might not be for you if adventure travel isn't your thing.Read full review
I chose this tour because it’s affordable to me and my friend however it turned out to be greater than expectations. I fall in love with the beauty of this UNESCO-listed ancient town so much while my bestie enjoys HCMC, especially Indepen..dence Palace because she did lots of research on Vietnam’s history. Despite the big crowds in Ninh Binh, we’re really amazed by the spectaculous nature and boarding along the river through the limestone caves was an unforgettable moment in my life. We took many pics to capture every moment. Besides we‘re vegetarian and the hotel staff and tour operators did so well to offer us Vegetarian meals. Other services were reasonably priced. I hope the tour will be extended to more than 11 days. I will be back in Vietnam soon.Read full review
96% Great Second Visit to Vietnam and the first time in Thailand with Realistic Asia

It was my second time in Vietnam but first time in Thailand. I love animals so the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary tour was great to me. You could bring your own swimsuit to have a bath with elephants. Vietnam was amazing too with its ancient and.. modern culture. Fantastic trip, thanks Realistic Asia.Read full review
I was impressed with every aspect of this trip from Realistic Asia's plan, accommodations, transportation and activities. The food has to be some of the best I have ever had! You could spend days and days meandering through the Angkor Archa..eological Park - just remarkable. We also had the opportunity to visit the Tonle Sap Lake which is the newest experience ever, highly recommend it!Read full review
I cannot remember how many times I went back to Vietnam. I had visited Hanoi, HCMC, Hoi An and Halong Bay before but for this tour, this is the 1st time I’ve been to Hue. We just spent almost 24 hours being there so we didn’t explore mu..ch. Local guide took us to Dong Ba market where we could discover the daily life of the residents of the ancient capital. I have to say that I’m so into Hue as it’s a romantic city with a slow pace of life. Would come back there soon!Read full review
This tour was amazing, and I am absolutely happy with all the arrangements. The service was outstanding, and I visited all places I wanted to see in Vietnam. Cu Chi tunnel made me feel sorry about the war, I was very emotional there and als..o admired the Vietnamese. However, sometimes I was a bit tired as the tour is quite intense.Read full review
