5.00Our guide Thang (Chris) was very responsive and helpful. He went above and beyond from the very beginning. He was really delightful to work with and I hope our paths cross again in the future. The trip itself was a great combination of tours and free time. We were able to explore the things we enjoyed while also participating in tours around the area. We felt with Thang in the background to solve any issues that might arise we were able to focus on the things we wanted to.
Great time in Vietnam with my daughters

5.00I booked the trip directly with Realistic Asia. Mrs. Camelia put together my tour and got the visa. Everything was well organized and every day we were in contact. She informed me about the pickup and the day tour. Also the selected 4 * hotels met my expectations. Domestic flights with private transport to the airport are very pleasant and especially punctual. For me, a holiday with the friendly Vietnamese.
