  We just returned from an incredible 1.5 month journey through Vietnam and Cambodia, and I cannot say enough good things about Hien and the team at Realistic Asia. Planning a trip this complex — across multiple cities, regions, and countries — could have been stressful, but Hien made everything seamless from beginning to end. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. Hien took the time to understand our interests and curated activities that were absolutely perfect for us. Over the course of the trip, we stayed in 12 hotels, 2 boats and camped, and every single one was fantastic — comfortable, well-located, and full of character. We had an amazing itinerary with 34 different activities, including climbing Fansipan (the highest mountain in Vietnam) riding Vespas through Hanoi, kayaking in a remote Cambodian jungle, bike tours, city tours, and so much more. Everything ran smoothly. Every guide and driver was either early or contacted us the day before to confirm details, which made us feel completely taken care of throughout the trip. The one time we needed to make a change was during an especially hot day when we decided to switch from a city bike tour to a vehicle tour. Hien responded immediately and rearranged everything quickly and efficiently — probably saving us from heat stroke! To make things even more complicated, my cousin and his family joined us for two weeks of the trip, and Hien did an outstanding job coordinating everyone’s schedules, accommodations, and activities so everything worked perfectly. This was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had, and much of that was thanks to Hien’s organization, responsiveness, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Hien and Realistic Asia to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, or Southeast Asia. They exceeded our expectations in every way.

  Our tour was Treasures of Southeast Asia in 11 days (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand). This tour was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Everything was incredibly well organized and planned so it felt like we barely had to lift a finger. The tour company is so responsive and professional and treated us with the utmost hospitality. Thank you to the guides and drivers we had throughout the trip (Truong, Quong, Peter, Michael, Tommy, Nam, and the entire cruise staff). Mr. Long was so responsive and kind before and during our trip and answered all of our questions and ensured we had a comfortable stay. All of the destinations included in the tour were amazing and we felt we had a perfect amount of time at each place. The accommodations and meals were also fantastic! We felt safe and comfortable at each destination with a perfect mix of guided time and free time. I can’t say enough good things about this tour- I highly highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty and hospitality that Southeast Asia has to offer. I will be using Realistic Asia for any future trips to Asia!

  My friend and I recently completed a Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand tour with Realistic Asia, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The entire trip was very well organized, with excellent communication, professional drivers, knowledgeable guides, and seamless coordination between destinations. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about logistics. What made this trip especially memorable was our travel consultant, Alice. She was far more than a travel coordinator. Throughout our journey, she was attentive, responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had a wonderful experience. When unexpected questions came up, she responded quickly and always made sure we were taken care of. One moment that touched us deeply was when Alice personally came to our hotel in Vietnam to meet us and say goodbye before our departure. That level of care, professionalism, and personal attention is rare and speaks volumes about both Alice and Realistic Asia as a company. The accommodations, tours, transportation, and local experiences exceeded our expectations. We experienced beautiful cultures, amazing food, breathtaking scenery, and created memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Realistic Asia to anyone considering travel in Southeast Asia. If you have the opportunity to work with Alice, you will be in excellent hands. Thank you, Alice and Realistic Asia, for making this journey so special. We are grateful for the experience and look forward to traveling with you again in the future. — Christina Babayeju, USA

  I travelled to Vietnam in June for 8 day melody of the seas and mountain tour. It was very well organised, friendly and professional staff and they kept me informed and organised throughout the tour with reminders of what and where I needed to be which made it an entirely stress free holiday. I have always travelled independently but there was sufficient free time within the tour itinerary to do your own thing. I thank you again Realistic Asia for making my first trip to Vietnam full of great memories.

  We had a wonderful experience booking “A Taste of Vietnam and Cambodia in 9 Days”, and a big part of that was thanks to Edna from Realistic Asia via TourRadar From the very beginning, everything was organised seamlessly. Edna contacted us before the tour started and provided a clear, detailed itinerary, which gave us great confidence going into the trip. What truly stood out was her daily follow-ups she checked in with us about the next day’s activities, provided reminders, and asked for feedback, which was very much appreciated and made us feel well looked after throughout the journey. All the tours included in the itinerary both group tours and individual experiences were excellent. The activities were well planned and enjoyable, with a good balance between guided experiences and enough free time to explore on our own. This allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the destinations at our own pace. The trip gave us a beautiful insight into the rich culture of Vietnam and Cambodia, and we were deeply touched by the polite, humble, and welcoming people we met along the way. Thank you, Edna, for your outstanding service and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend you and your company and would happily book again in the future. Wishing you all the best and happy holidays!

  I would like to thank the team at Realistic Asia for doing a fantastic job at organising our recent trip to IndoChina. Our contact, Stephen provided an excellent service from our initial contact with RA, through both the organisation and then the actual trip itself. We chose to go to Vietnam, Cambodia, & Thailand, and each step, Stephen was on hand to help us plan our itinerary, suggest excellent hotels, arrange internal flights, and all transfers, and then arranged lots of excellent activities so we fully experienced the wonderful countries we visited. Daily calls and WhatsApp messages meant that at all times, we felt totally supported and as such, made every day seamless and without worry. Nothing was too much trouble, and as such, our IndoChina experience was the holiday of a lifetime. Thank you Realistic Asia, and especially thank you to Stephen. I would fully recommend this company to anyone planning a visit in the future. We will definitely be returning

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Star Experience with Realistic Asia – Especially Long! We have just returned from the most incredible holiday through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, and we cannot recommend Realistic Asia highly enough – especially our wonderful contact, Long. Our itinerary took us through Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, then across to Siem Reap (including the breathtaking Angkor Wat), and finally on to Phuket – and every single stop was seamless, memorable and perfectly organised. Unfortunately, our trip began with a rocky start when the airline caused us to miss our connecting flight. We were stressed and worried about how this would impact our plans, but Long and the team at Realistic Asia went completely above and beyond. They quickly rearranged our itinerary and accommodation to maximise our time in Hanoi so we didn’t miss out on any key experiences. It genuinely turned what could have been a disaster into something barely noticeable. What truly set this company apart was the personal touch. Long met us in Hanoi himself, which immediately made us feel looked after and valued. He checked in with us daily throughout the trip, ensuring everything was running smoothly and responding instantly to any questions. All of our tours were exceptional. The guides were knowledgeable, professional and had a great sense of humour, bringing each destination to life. The hotels were consistently clean, comfortable, in excellent locations and staffed by friendly teams. This was hands down one of the best holidays we have ever had, and that is largely thanks to Realistic Asia and Long’s dedication and care. We will absolutely be booking with them again and recommending them to everyone we know. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! 🌏✈️

  Jennifer Bui of Realistic Travel worked with us to create a customized 13 Day tour of Vietnam. Two couples, we had a diverse and fascinating guided experience that met our individual needs. The guides and drivers were all exceptionally helpful, courteous, and skilled at their jobs. They greatly enhanced our visit and made it very easy for us to learn and enjoy Vietnam. What an extraordinary country. We felt welcomed everywhere we went. Our many excursions, too many to recap here, were all interesting, well planned, and distinctly memorable. From our walk through the beautiful countryside of rural Northern Vietnam in Sapa we visited major cities, historic sites, had many great and delicious meals and walked through many communities. The accommodations were all outstanding, particularly the Fusionsuites Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. The cruise and visit to Ha Long Bay was also exceptional. It was a vacation we will never forget. Jennifer and Realistic Travel were thorough, attentive to detail, and responsive to all our special requests. We highly endorse their services and encourage you to visit the amazing country of Vietnam. +
