Jennifer at Bee GNG did a terrific job working with me to create a fantastic 14-day Vietnam last-minute trip and continued to be of assistance when I was on the ground. The guides and itinerary she organized were both excellent.
96% Realistic Asia: The Top Choice for Indochina Travel
By: Anonymous | Sun Aug 14, 2022 at 12.00 AM
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, especially my parents. They really liked Luang Prabang and locals there as they were so friendly and accommodating. My parents were vegans and the tour agency offered them the right choice with great meals. ..They were also arranged to sit near other vegans and they felt very comfortable. I highly appreciate that. The transport was comfortable too. We took many pics. We truly had a great family-bonding experience. Big thanks to Realistic Asia.Read full review
96% Sapa’s Unique Tribes Were a Memorable Highlight!
By: Anonymous | Mon Jul 25, 2022 at 12.00 AM
I have to say the tour is the best designed ever. 1 trip - 3 most beautiful and impressive places in Vietnam. There are too many highlights to list them all, but I'll just mention one: In Sapa, it’s worth observing that the many tribes in.. the area have distinctive dress and style of life, you can inquire of the locals about how they live. You could take lots of photos to capture the moment there because they were UNIQUE and memorable.Read full review
So I have now done two 9 day the company tours and they have both been beyond my expectations. I have just finished the 9 day the company bali tour. We had tour leader Craig and Andri with us. Both of them where incredible. Craig never fail..ed to make us all laugh, he was extremely caring and patient. He did everything he could to make sure we were all happy and had the best trip despite already going above and beyond for us. Andri was exceptionally thoughtful and generous all the time. He went above and beyond and I know he will make the best leader when he has his own group. Ill be forever grateful for the experience, the effort and length that the company and the leaders go to to make it so special. After having such an incredible experience in Vietnam with Josh. I didnt think it would be possible to compare but both trips but they where extremely special in different ways. Mainly due to the leaders and also the people on the tours. I was blessed to find friends who I know Ill keep in my life forever. I couldnt recommend the company tours more highly to anyone. Thank you so much and I cant wait for my next next one!Read full review
I thought I never did the tour alone, but with Realistic Asia I was very warmly welcomed, and even made me feel very confident in traveling. I then told my family not to worry about me because I met very nice people there. Long was great at.. supporting me. He planned the trip for me which make me the most fun trip ever! And I made new friends. Be strong and try to travel alone once in your life!Read full review
The tour operator requested our feedback so that they might enhance the quality of their services, and I greatly appreciate that so I write this review. Overall, the vacation far exceeded our expectations in many ways. However, we got no co..mplaints but we would like a less hectic and more restful itinerary if we were to take the same trip again since our children are around 10. That’s all. Thank you very much!Read full review
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
Had a lovely trip to north Vietnam, especially Sapa! The lovely guide answered all questions and was able to provide tribal information! Very well organized from start to finish, the hotel was clean, staff friendly and the food good, 3 cour..ses given both at lunch and tea and fresh pancakes available at breakfast! Trekking was VERY hard work and VERY slippery, not suitable for anyone with any health problems in my opinion! Local women helped on the trek and wanted you to buy their products at the end, happy to do so as they were very much needed on the walk!Read full review
96% Packed Schedule, Great Food, and Fun Local Interactions!
By: Anonymous | Thu Apr 28, 2022 at 12.00 AM
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
