Realistic Asia Reviews 249

Long curated an incredible itinerary to Vietnam and Thailand for our family of 5. Every schedule pick up was on time, guides were great and all bookings were smooth and problem free. We will recommend Long at Realistic Asia to any friends traveling to Asia in the future. Thank you for everything!!

I booked the Island Hopping in Thailand in 9 Days tour in May. It was half sightseeing, half leisure, with two guided day trips into the Andaman Sea across the scattered islands and plenty of leisure time in between.

The scenery was breathtaking, the sea warm and the food delicious, and Mr Thang Tran took care of all logistics while being very helpful and positive. I had a great time and will check out Realistic Asia again when planning my next trip to the region.

Aussies travelling from Vietnam to Cambodia via Mekong Delta cruise. Always a worry when you have to guess and choose an operator off the internet. Realistic Asia (Tessa) took all that angst away, very well organised, itinerary provided and when there was an issue a simple text and it was fixed immediately (there is still sometimes a language barrier on board when describing technical issues). Third party hotels and operators chosen were also great. Don’t hesitate, I would def use these guys again

Realistic Asia did everything for us and everything right. They created our itinerary after listening to our suggestions, planned a wonderful 10-day trip in Thailand that accommodated the interests - history, culture, people, food, adventure - of my family with age ranges of 15-82. The hotels were terrific, as were our drivers, our wonderful guides, and all around experience and quality service. 5 stars, for sure!

From the very initial booking, the entire process was a breeze, and the staff was delightful. Heyun was amazing and helped us all the way from the start, during our lovely trip, and at the end. We had a fantastic time in Vietnam and feel the accommodations, activities, and transportation were all well planned. Each day was clearly delineated, and we had Heyun checking in to be sure we were doing well. It was wonderful. We couldn't have been happier with our trip. We were fine going with different folks on activities each day. We had done that before on a different trip, and although the guides were all amazing, no one had a clear idea of the whole picture, and it felt very discombobulated. This is where Realistic Asia, Tour Radar excelled. Heyun knew the whole picture and checked in regularly. I so appreciated her conscientious approach to our trip. In addition, we had a great app to refer to when needed. The entire trip went very smoothly and was a blast. We are so looking forward to more travels with Realistic Asia and Heyun

My family and I had an outstanding trip to Vietnam in May. We have used TourRadar in the past because they coordinate well with local tour groups. Thang Tran was assigned to us for Vietnam and was very proactive beforehand, making sure our Visas were accurate and coordinating airport pickup coming from three different US states. We had excellent communication with him and our local people for each leg of our journey. Everyone was polite, helpful and on time, resulting in a fantastic tour of beautiful Vietnam. Many thanks for such a great experience!

We discovered Realistic Asia when looking for a travel package to Vietnam. When we first looked at the website, we were impressed by the variety of venue options and prices that were offered. Our sales consultant, Long Pham, introduced himself shortly after we booked. He listened and answered all our questions and guided us every step of the way. He booked accommodations that fit our needs such as 2 twin beds, breakfast so we could eat before our excursions, central locations, and pocketbook friendly Hotels. He communicated with us daily with reminders and arranged transportation that was flawless. I also need to mention that every excursion we took was was with a small group and a very knowledgeable guide. I this trip was such a positive experience I will recommend Realistic Asia to anybody traveling where they offer tours.

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.

Absolutely great trip! Our advisor, Thang did a great job with every part of it. The itinerary was very versatile and in all destinations. The activities reflected the cultural and authentic experiences that one can do in the cities and towns we visited. Would definitely recommend!

The selection of tours each day was excellent. I enjoyed the places we went and the knowledgeable tour guides. The logistics of the tour were seamless, from our arrival at the airport in Hanoi until our departure from HMC, we were well-taken care of, and everything flowed smoothly.

Chris (Thàng) was fantastic in arranging our holiday. Always there to answer any questions, quick response, helpful.

I wonder happily recommended Realistic Asua and would use Chris services again

A wonderful 10 day tour across Vietnam organised by Chris Thang for myself and elderly mother. Chris arranged walk in showers to accommodate my mother’s limited mobility and airport assistance on domestic flights. Each evening we received instructions for the following day ensuring well organised holiday.

Constant contact & information the entire time.
We did a private 9 day tour for 4 women.
Every day tour we did they checked in with us to see how our day was, any concerns etc. I would definitely book again with realistic Asia!

We booked a 9 day tour of Sri lanka with our rep Long pham. We have used him a few times now and have always been extremely pleased with our experience.
The tour was amazing we got to enjoy the highlights of what this beautiful country has to offer and it didn't feel rushed even with the tight timeframe. Our guide Dilan was fantastic and very accommodating and made sure we got the experience we wanted. All of the hotels we stayed in were good / great. The tour was private so just myself and my wife were with our guide for the duration which made it more personalized. I would highly recommend using realistic asia.

*We had a fantastic time on the Amazing Thailand trip. The tours & hotels were excellent & well planned. Our rep Thang was in contact with us throughout the trip supporting us & making sure everything ran smoothly. Excellent service, thank you to all. Carol*

We took an 18-day journey through Viet Nam and Cambodia arranged by Rough Guides and supported by Realistic Asia. We have been on cruises and group tours, but this was the first tailor-made tour where we did “all and only” what we wanted to do with the support of those who know the lay of the land. First, we expressed our interests online. Rough Guide proposed an itinerary. We exchanged ideas and landed on the tour we wanted to take and the hotels we wanted to stay at. Bottom line – it was an incredible trip. Our project manager, Ivy from Realistic Asia, saw to every detail. She was a treasure who helped us along the way, even though we never met in person – only electronically. We were met at each location by a driver and a knowledgeable guide from the area. We were treated to excellent meals and local events and excursions. A few highlights – In Hanoi, we were charmed by a water puppet show; we wove through hundreds of small islands on a 3-day cruise in Ha Long Bay; we cruised the canal during the lantern festival in Hoi An; took a food-tasting tour on Vespas in Ho Chi Minh City (a real highlight!); spent the better part of a day touring Mekong by boats and jeeps; went to multiple temples in Siem Reap, including, or course, Ankor Wat. While the lodgings were great everywhere, a special shoutout to the Jaya House in Siem Reap – luxurious, personable and quirky. Having traveled for over 50 years, have to say this was one of our top trips ever. Look forward to using Rough Guides and Realistic Asia again.

We booked a 14 Days Vietnam Trip with Realistic Asia. The experience was amazing. Linh took care of us every step including daily check ins. Kudos to Linh and Realistic Asia.

We did a 19 day tour with Realistic Asia through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. The tour went really well all of the guides were excellent and moving around the countries was made easy by the well organized transfers and excellent drivers. Our travel consultant Linh was incredible she made all of the trip come together from helping to organize our customized itinerary to keeping in regular contact with us during the holiday to ensure everything was going smoothly. She also went the extra mile an example being when I had a small stomach issue she contacted the hotel we were staying in and arranged for them to provide me with ginger tea.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Realistic Asia and Linh for anyone heading to South East Asia for a holiday.

This was a fantastic trip and well thought out and planned. We have many wonderful memories and really appreciate Longs assistance with arranging all of the details!

Our 14‑day tour through Vietnam in April 2026 was truly remarkable. Every activity was thoughtfully planned, and the entire experience flowed seamlessly from start to finish. The drivers who picked us up for excursions were consistently punctual and professional, ensuring smooth transfers throughout the trip.
A special mention goes to Long Pham, our coordinator from Realistic Asia. He was absolutely amazing and diligent, always just a phone call away, and even offered wonderful suggestions during our free days that added a personal touch. On our arrival in Hanoi, he personally came to meet us and surprised us with a thoughtful gift from Realistic Asia, which was such a memorable gesture.

The hotels and food were top notch, and every excursion was well organized, making the journey both comfortable and unforgettable. This was an experience we will cherish, and we highly recommend Realistic Asia to anyone looking to explore Vietnam with ease and excellence.
