Realistic Asia

Founded in 2011, Realistic Asia is a full-service tour operator located in Vietnam and well-known for organizing memorable trips with unique and authentic experiences in South East Asia. We are locals and true experts in our destinations. With our local knowledge, we are proud to provide an excellent service and a wide range of activities: from a one-day trip to long multi-country tours; and from a leisure beach break to trekking adventure in jungles.

First–hand Knowledge
Our team have travelled to every corner of our destinations and tried all the activities we offer. We personally check all the places to visit, all the things to do and all accommodations to stay in. Our specialists are always ready to give you comprehensive travel advice no matter what part of Vietnam or Indochina you want to visit and what type of activities you prefer.

Service
We operate on the customer-centric core and continuously work on improving the service. We carefully select and regularly check all the accommodation, transport and activities we offer to our travellers. We have built a strong partnership with our suppliers to provide you with the best service and price. On top of that, we develop our tours based on deep insight knowledge of the visited destination and the latest travel trends.

Sustainability
Realistic Asia shares the values of sustainable tourism and is committed to implementing this concept for our tours at all destinations we serve. We do care about the places we offer to visit as it is our home and we want them to be the same beautiful for future generations.
We are aiming to preserve the environment and cultural heritage of Indochina and it goes throughout the concept of our company. We use local guides at each destination, who have the best knowledge about the area and how to run the tour in the best way for the environment. We support local businesses: we prefer locally owned accommodations and offer our travellers local cuisine meals. As a big part of our contribution to community development, we have created our exclusive day trip - Ba Vi Eco Tour, which is aimed to support the local community and give the travellers deep knowledge about the daily life of Vietnamese villages.
We aim to share with travellers our national values. All our tours are educational and will bring our travellers deep into the local culture. We always do our best to keep a positive experience for our travellers and for local people as well.

This group accomplished the absolute impossible. I signed up for a marathon - unwisely - that was 4 hours - 4 hours! - outside of Ho Chi Minh, along the Mekond Delta.

I spoke with Hien and she was able to find a driver from the airport to the hotel as well as a great hotel. The next day I drove with a driver - Phouk (sp?) and a guide (Phi) out to the Mekong Delta (Hau Gyang district) and they helped me get registered and pick up my race packet for the race. I would have been helpless without them.

The race itself, however, furthermore was at 3 AM the next day! 3 AM! Not to worry, the guide and the driver insisted on getting up with me that morning and driving me to the race. Extraordinary. And I was able to run and finish the race!

That afternoon, we went back to Ho Chi Minh and Phi generously put me on his motorbike and showed me the nightlife the next day - and treated me to some fabulous street food. Phi's English by the way was excellent, large vocabulary and great local knowledge. Hien's English was also very good, enabling seamless communication.

I cannot say enough good things about how well it all went and how bad it would have gone without them - - how well Hien planned the whole trip based on my specific needs, how actively she stayed in touch during the trip, and how quickly she was able to adjust if we decided to do something different. You cannot dream of better.

My heartfelt praise and gratitude to all three of them!

We were unable to go on the rafts due to it being rainy season. The caves reek of bat poop and you have to walk through dying birds on the rickety walkways to get inside the caves. I would have never gone if I had known what it really would be like. Don't trust the photos.

This was a very long day on a boat to see some mediocre places. There was no snorkeling as the water was not clear due to the rainy season, which we were not told in advance. And they kept us out fishing even as a storm came in, so the ride back in was terrible. And the staff smoked the entire trip, which made finding anywhere to lounge really challenging. I did not enjoy this day on the boat so we canceled our boat tour the next day because none of us could face being stuck back on the water all day again.

Overall the experience to Vietnam was fantastic. Dat & the Realistic Asia team made many things seamless and easy with little stress for our group.

One personal note for me - many of the tours felt typical, when initially I think I went through KimKim to look for some "off the beaten path" tours or trips. As an architect I mentioned initially that I was really interested in seeing spaces and buildings and I feel like I missed some of that, especially in Ho Chi Minh City. It partly may have been an expectation management which sometimes the tour descriptions aren't super clear about.

Also the larger group tours of 17+ were too much for me. I definitely preferred the smaller group (10 people or so) as it felt like we were waiting on other people less. The one tour we did with just our group was awesome and personalized. We also loved the Calista Cruise team and experience.

I usually plan my own trips so this was a first time for me using an agency. I'm glad we did, and now I have a better sense of how to plan for future trips! Dat was very reliable, quick to respond and very helpful in all areas. I highly recommend him and his team!

STRONG CUSTOMER SERVICE/ EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION

Hien helped us plan our Vietnam/Thailand trip from June 1 to 13. We packed a lot into this 2 week trip which Hien kept tweaking to our preference and satisfaction. Unbelievably organized compared to the last travel agent we used.
Throughout the whole trip, she kept checking on us and reminded us of driver/pick-up times (always punctual) and who our guide will be, etc.

When things didn't go according to original plan, she already had a quick back-up. For instance...Ha Long Bay Paradise Peak Cruise's air condition malfunctioned at last minute so she booked us on sister ship, Paradise Elegance. Although the room was smaller than our room on P.Peak's, she made it right by making sure our room had a large wrap around balcony and my husband got a free 60 minute massage. Additionally, we were supposed to have dinner cruise the following week on Manohra Cruise in Bangkok, but boat caught on fire. Hien was able to get us a refund pretty quickly since back-up dinner cruise ship could not accommodate us at a specific time.

Choice of guides were also great! KC (Kim Cuong), our Hanoi guide, took us on street food tour which included (per our request) a hunt for reasonably priced Kopi Luwak coffee beans (from movie "The Bucket List") and a perfect seat to watch the train's approach on Hanoi's famous Old Train Street.
Tim (Tipparat), our Bangkok guide, also went the extra mile. She picked us up at BKK airport. During our 1 hour drive to our hotel, she helped us make reservation at Michelin Star restaurant, R-Haan. She also got us seating at the famous Jay Fai " street food" restaurant prior to our actual street food tour. Not sure how she did it because Jay Fai does not take reservations. There is usually a long queue.

We went on many excursions, such as a hike in SaPa's rice fields, a trip to Ninh Binh (Mua Cave, Tam Coc), and my favorite, Chai Lai Orchid Elephant Sanctuary. All perfectly planned.

Hotels--Hien will work with your budget. We chose to stay at mid-luxury hotels.

Hanoi: Peridot Boutique Hotel is located in Old Quarter. Great location...we were able to walk to Hoa Lo Prison, the Water Puppet Theatre, Chinatown area, and Train Street. Great breakfast buffet.

Sa Pa: Topas Ecolodge-- we just stayed in a Premium Executive Bungalow and it had a great view. Food at Topas...breakfast buffet and dinner surprised us...actually quite good.

Sa Pa: Hotel de la Coupole -M Gallery --beautiful hotel. Absinthe Bar (Afternoon Tea) offers sweet and savory treats paired with tea and coffee. Chic Restaurant had great breakfast buffet but limited choices for dinner.

Chiang Mai: Tamarind Village-- great location in Old City. The Sunday night market is pretty much right in front of hotel. You can walk to the temples. Breakfast buffet was great.

Bangkok: Anantara Riverside --we had a great room with river view. Restaurants are very mediocre --Trader Vic's, Brio, Benihana--all these restaurants are in the US. Drinks at the bar (alcoholic and non) are very expensive even by US standards. Breakfast and dinner buffet also mediocre. Expected more from a luxury ( or mid-luxury?) resort. At least just about a 10minute Grab (Uber in SE Asia) ride to Iconsiam where you can find "air conditioned street food stalls" at bottom level.

We wanted to make some changes to day trips and hotels, which she was extremely responsive and attentive to which we appreciated.

Everywhere we went we had a driver and english speaking guide, which made navigating every step in our itinerary very easy. The entire experience with Realistic Asia was turnkey

I want to give a shout out to some excellent guides we had throughout the trip: Huấn in Hoi Ann, Thiện in Hue, and Cuong in Hanoi.All went above and beyond during the tours and giving us tips along the way and we highly recommend using them.

This ship has great food service, and rooms. It is a practically brand new luxury yacht which is beautiful and comfortable. When the ship goes to its overnight docking location its not very far from land, and its in a cove with many other boats. I think we would have enjoyed more movement so we were able to see more of Ha Long Bay. The excursion we did ( kayaking) was boring and every boat in the area seemed like they were doing the same thing.
