Amazing experience! Recommended!

Stephen Long was an excellent tour advisor for our two-week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. He put together a wonderful itinerary tailored to our preferences — food, art, history, and nature — and truly paid attention to what we wanted. When I asked him to build in a relaxation day mid-trip, he planned for us to be in beautiful Hoi An, where our hotel had a pool and the beach was just a short trip away.
Stephen did an amazing job staying in contact with us via WhatsApp throughout the entire trip. All of our transportation, hotels, inter-trip flights, and activities were booked for us, and communication about where and when we needed to be was always clear. We were also able to make slight adjustments to the itinerary as needed, which we really appreciated. The local tour guides Stephen arranged in each city were excellent as well.
We had an incredible time visiting Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, and Siem Reap. We highly recommend Stephen for planning your next trip to Vietnam and Cambodia!

Travelling alone in a country where I don't speak the language was initially scary, but as soon as I landed I knew I was in very safe hands. Everything was exceptionally organized and communication was easy. I would highly recommend.

We wanted to hit all the highlights of a typical 2-week Vietnam tour but wanted to avoid traveling in a group. After stumbling on a YouTuber who sang the praises of Realistic Asia we started researching them. Ultimately we discovered they could provide a private tour customized to our tastes and preferences for the same price as what we’d be able to book on our own. They added two days to the 13 day itinerary as we customized it.

The real beauty of their system is that you get a dedicated Travel Consultant who you stay in contact with throughout your trip via WhatsApp. Our Travel Consultant was Stephen and he was amazing. A few days into the trip, I tripped and fell during my morning run in Hanoi. I wound up going to the emergency room with a broken thumb and split open chin. Stephen sprang into action and diverted our local guide for that day to the hospital to help us. For the remainder of our tour he helped rework the day tours to avoid anything I couldn’t do. My jaw was in bad shape so he even worked with the restaurants for the trip-included lunches to make sure there were softer options available.

Special thanks to Jimmy, our Hanoi guide, for his help during my initial hospital visit.

And thanks to Charlie, our Hue guide, for his help when we visited a hospital there for follow up care.

OVERALL: Our experience with Realistic Asia was fantastic. The city guides are friendly and knowledgable. The hotels (we chose the 4-star option) were centrally located and met our high expectations. The food was great (even the softer options!). If you want to visit Vietnam worry-free, we recommend talking to the travel experts at Realistic Asia.

Alles hat super zuverlässig, wie versprochen geklappt
die Hotels waren sehr gut ausgesucht
Ich habe mich durch Edna jederzeit sehr gut begleitet gefühlt.

So this was the most adventurous trip our family had ever done. We were somewhat anxious about navigating foreign lands so far from our culture in Canada.

We were very fortunate that Realistic Asia made everything so easy and supported us throughout our holiday. Special thanks to Thang who contacted us the night before every tour or travel day to ensure we knew where to go and when.

The sites on this trip did not disappoint us and we saw so much. Each location we visited was about the right amount of time to experience the local culture and sites.

Wir haben unsere 3 Wochen Thailand Rundreise über Realistic Asia gebucht. Mie hat uns die Reise nach unseren Wünschen zusammengestellt und alles möglich gemacht, obwohl wir sehr kurzfristig gebucht haben. Sie war immer erreichbar und ist auf all unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Die Reise war perfekt durchgeplant und war total stressfrei. Nach gut der Hälfte der Urlaubszeit übernahm Emilia unsere Betreuung, die genauso perfekt alles organisiert hat. Wir mussten uns um nichts selber kümmern. Auch die Inlandsflüge wurden für uns organisiert und eingecheckt.
Wir durften eine unvergessliche Rundreise erleben und können Realistic Asia nur weiterempfehlen.
Vielen Dank nochmals für alles.

We had an amazing vacation touring Southeast Asia. Realistic Asia, specifically our consultant, Linh Thieu, arranged all of the logistics for our 16 day trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Linh planned our flights, our schedules, and all of the transfers, as well as many well-thought-out tours to show us some of the highlights of each city, including a bit of every day life there. Some of the tours were even private! We also had time to explore these areas on our own. Most of our planning with Linh was online, and we found her extremely responsive and experienced. We were additionally impressed that she arranged to personally meet us at our first hotel in Hanoi. Linh’s expertise contributed to making this trip stress-free and extra enjoyable, and we happily recommend touring with Realistic Asia!

We are a couple in our mid sixties. We live to travel. This time South East Asia was on our agenda. We booked through TourRadar and chose 14 day adventure in Vietnam. We loved every part of this trip. Mr. Long helped to make sure we had everything signed and packed accordingly before we left. He met us at our first hotel in Hanoi and answered any questions or worries we had. He checked in with us every day. It was nice to have a lot of freedom to do our own thing but to have the details organized by someone who lives there and knows what to do. The hotels were lovely and we met the most lovely people, often leaving the hotel with hugs and even some small gifts and one complimentary upgrade! I would not hesitate to book another adventure with Realistic Asia! They exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

*Realistic Asia arranged my Vietnam-Thailand tour very well. I enjoyed visiting Saigon, Hanoi, Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Chris Thang helped arrange airport transfers, hotels and tours. Everything was smooth! I customized the trip by adding one extra day and some additional tours in Hanoi, Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Highly recommend this tour*

Anna/Yen was great in helping me figure out and decide on an itinerary for Bangkok Thailand. We had wonderful excursions and our guides were also very good.

Emilia thân mến, liebe wundervolle Seelen deines Teams, von ganzem Herzen möchten wir euch aber insbesonders Dir ein riesengroßes DANKE aussprechen. Diese Reise war nicht einfach nur eine Reise, sie war ein Geschenk. Ein Geschenk voller Herzlichkeit, Tiefe, Genuss und unvergesslicher Begegnungen. Ihr habt mit so viel Liebe zum Detail etwas erschaffen, das uns zutiefst berührt hat. Jeder Moment war durchdacht, jede Begegnung besonders, jede Erfahrung ein Schatz. Wir durften ein atemberaubend schönes Land entdecken, getragen von der Wärme und Freundlichkeit so bezaubernder Menschen. Und dann diese Küche… einfach unbeschreiblich! Von Vietnam bis zur kambodschanischen Feuerküche ein Feuerwerk der Sinne. Dass wir sogar von einigen der besten Köche des Landes lernen durften, erfüllt uns mit tiefer Dankbarkeit. Dieses Wissen tragen wir nun mit großer Freude und Respekt mit zurück nach Deutschland. Liebe Emilia, du hast wirklich jeden einzelnen Wunsch von uns gesehen und erfüllt oft sogar, bevor wir ihn selbst ausgesprochen haben. Deine Erreichbarkeit, deine Fürsorge und dein Engagement haben uns ein Gefühl von Sicherheit und Geborgenheit gegeben, das diese Reise noch wertvoller gemacht hat. Wir sind noch immer ganz beseelt von all den Eindrücken. Es wirkt nach… tief in uns… und wird uns noch lange begleiten. Diese Reise hat Spuren hinterlassen nicht nur im Kopf, sondern vor allem im Herzen. Es war eine absolute Traumreise. Vielleicht sogar die schönste, die wir je erleben durften und ganz sicher diejenige, die uns mit so viel Wissen, Inspiration und echter Verbindung bereichert hat. Von Herzen: Danke. Für alles. Với lòng biết ơn sâu sắc và sự trân trọng vô bờ bến. Kerstin & Horst

Wir waren vom 9.März bis zum 25.März in Zentralvietnam und im Süden.Die Reise war perfekt organisiert von Mister Seb in Hanoi. Die Hotels haben uns sehr zugesagt und der Service war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir waren rundum begeistert und zufrieden. Die Pünktlichkeit war super. Jeden Tag war die Begleitung mit WhatsApp einfach nur toll. Danke an das gesamte Team.
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.
Aufwiedersehen 2027.
Danke Seb...

Very well organised. Mr Long was incredibly helpful and in touch throughout the entire tour. Overall, an awesome and entirely stress free experience.

We have just returned from a holiday in Thailand which was brilliantly organised by Stephen from Realistic Asia, we’d had two destinations and an internal flight ands everything ran like clockwork, deepen kept in constant touch via rested app at every step to make sure that everything ran smoothly which it did. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stephen and realistic Asia if your thinking of planning a trip growing that part of the world you will receive a fantastic professional service every step of the way. Thank you Stephen

Well, what can I say, had the most amazing holiday organised by Stephen at Realistic Asia, Vietnam cambodia and Thailand were truly beautiful. Stephens attention to detail was just perfect, I will definitely be in touch with Stephen again for our next journey.

We had a fantastic experience with Stephen from making our booking to finishing our trip. Stephen communicated with us throughout the trip daily to ensure everything went smoothly across the 3 countries we visited. The tour guides they used were also very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this company to anyone wishing to travel to Vietnam. We look forward to our next visit with them.

Stephen was very responsive throughout the planning and during the trip. Together, we created a 3-week bespoke adventure that met our needs, with the right mix of solo and group activities. Stephen nailed the logistics of getting from place to place without any hiccups. Stephen was incredibly committed to the success of our trip, and I can’t say enough good things about him. The drivers were professional, and for the most part, the guides were excellent.
Stephen touched base each day to check in and make sure we were aware of the upcoming schedule and prepared for the day ahead.
I think what we loved the most about working with Realistic Asia was the ability to tailor the trip to our interests and needs, because they are on the ground in Vietnam, they are experts on the area and have all the contacts, and if there is an issue, they are in the same time zone and just a phone call away.
If we were to change anything on the trip, we would have spent 2 nights on the cruise; we loved it, and one night was too rushed.

Had an amazing 1 and a half weeks traveling through Vietnam and Cambodia with my partner. I have never experienced so much hospitality. The director of our tours (Hoang) was amazing. They met us on our first day in the city at our hotel to check in with us and make sure everything had been okay with our travel. We received messages every morning sending us well wishes on our day and information on all of our travel in advance. I strongly recommend using this service if you are planning a trip to Southeast Asia. We can’t wait to come back and have them be a part of our next adventure.

Had an incredible experience with Realistic Asia on a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia for 10 days this March. The entire team was phenomenal! From the day-to-day drivers and guides to our tour operator, Hoang, who ensured we were taken care of throughout the trip. No detail was left out - everything had been thought of! The communication was also top notch. I truly felt Hoang and the team cared deeply that my partner and I had a meaningful experience. This resulted in a seamless trip for us, one in which we learned a great deal about the people, culture, food and history of both countries we visited. Our tour included a fantastic (and well balanced) mix of adventure and relaxation, scheduled itineraries and free time. Every single person involved in coordinating our trip provided phenomenal service and all activities and lodgings were carefully and thoughtfully selected. I can’t imagine having a better experience! Thank you so much to the Realistic Asia team!
