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.

The guides we had for our trip were excellent. Unfortunately I am not very good at names nor writing down their Vietnamese names, needless to say we were delighted with all guides that were provided. Not only were they excellent sources of information but they made sure we were having a good time. The personnel assigned to us were a pleasure to be with. I cannot sa& lucky we were to have this service for this adventure.

Ashley was in contact with us every step of the way, always providing just the right amount of information, and she was incredibly quick to make adjustments when we decided to add two extra tours.

Our tour guide Bao in Sapa was our favorite, though each guide we met was unique and shared not only details about the sights but also insights into the Vietnamese way of life and thinking. The rice fields, Fansipan, and the waterfalls were breathtaking. However, the Ecolodge (our hotel in Sapa) was a bit disappointing—there was a lot of humidity and an unpleasant smell in the rooms.

In contrast, the hotel in Hanoi was fantastic! The rooms were wonderful, and the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. We also loved the Jeep tour—it was such fun! The only thing we would have added was a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.

The cruise in Ha Long Bay was perfect! The crew made everything fun and easy-going while still being very professional. The rooms were absolutely dreamy.

A special thank you to Ashley for immediately rearranging our bus when we mentioned it wasn’t convenient—she made everything so smooth.

Da Nang wasn’t our favorite stop. While the hotel was excellent and the spa there was amazing, we felt the city itself didn’t have as much to offer. We’d recommend staying two days in Da Nang and adding one more day in Hoi An instead, which was lovely. Our guide in Hoi An did a fantastic job, listened to our needs, and tailored the experience perfectly.

Saigon was a revelation! The Vespa tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip—the guides there spoke the best English of all and made the experience unforgettable. All the tours and guides in Saigon were excellent.

Overall, every airport transfer was on time and seamless, all the hotels were in great locations, and thanks to Kimkim and Ashley, the only thing we had to worry about was having fun!

Our guide, Mai in Hanoi was amazing! She was super knowledgeable about the culture and history of Vietnam. We learned so much from her. She was always prompt with our drivers and kept us on schedule without feeling rushed.
Our guide, Zo Zo in Sapa was also a fabulous guide. We did a six mile trek with her and she was great in giving us the lifestyle of the Vietnamese in the mountains. We also went to the temples on top of indochina. Amazing trip!

I especially enjoyed the 2-1/2 day motorbike tour including homestay.s Our motorbike drivers , Ben and (Tangh?) were very friendly and accommodating. They were fun guys and added a lot of fun to the trip.
The Ha Long Bay overnight cruise was enjoyable. Although I didnt participate in the activities, I found it very relaxing.
Last but not least, our day tour of Hanoi including Ho Chi Minh mausoleum was very interesting. Our guide Phong Nguyen gave much detail explanation to what we seeing. Very educational.
So, I would give it 5 star review but consider the problematic logistics early on.

Quang was such a great driver and was able to handle the crazy traffic in Hanoi with ease.
All of our hotels were high end and the staff were always there to help us in any way. Annie from the GM Premium Hotel in Hanoi was like a personal assistant helping us find places to eat, an ATM and providing us reservations even on the 80th anniversary which was hard to come by.
We had a cooking class with Chef Ai and her niece and it was definitely a highlight of our trip.
In Phu Quoc we stayed at the Dusit Princess Moonrise hotel. The staff was exceptional. We especially loved Victor in the hotel bar and Ms. My who gave us several excursion options. We had a great experience at the spa there and loved our massages.
In Ho Chi Minh City the hotel restaurant manager was extra special. He sat and talked with us for over 30 minutes even after they closed. He suggested drinks to try and other establishments in town that we might like.
Our last night in Ho Chi Minh City was spent on a street food tour with Vespa Wanderers and we loved it! Riding on the Vespas was so exciting and the food was great. At the end of the night they gave us a mini scrapbook with pictures taken of us throughout the night. That made it all more special and we have no idea how they were able to get it completed without us knowing.
Vietnam was everything we had hoped and more. Each hotel had a special welcome for us when we got there. Lucy made sure everyone knew we were there to celebrate our anniversary and they made sure to make it extra special. We can't wait to go back

Hi Ben,

Wow, this review just made my day! It was such a pleasure helping you and your son plan your Vietnam adventure, and I'm absolutely thrilled to hear that everything went so well.

Knowing that the hotels were "in the middle of the action" and that the transfers were "flawless" is exactly what I love to hear! And it's wonderful that your guides in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were so passionate—they really do make a difference. I'm also so glad you enjoyed the cooking class, and I'll definitely keep recommending the Vespa night tour for teens; it sounds like it was a total hit!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for the enthusiastic recommendation. I really hope to help you both plan another amazing trip in the future!

All the best,
Lucy
