Asia Food Trips

I did the India and Sri Lanka combo experience and honestly had the best time in both. As my first time going away anywhere on my own it was so reassuring having intro do all the hard work, organising, planning, getting from place to place for me. In India my group leaders were Yoni and Mikes, both two absolutely beautiful human beings. It was so beautiful to see how they interacted with the locals which encouraged us and showed how we could also interact with them positively and respectfully. In Sri Lanka my group leader was Matt, who also was amazing. He was so knowledgeable on the incredible country Sri Lanka is and really helped us appreciate its beauty on a deeper level. All three of the group leaders gave a great sense of security to me allowing me to feel safe in both countries and able to relax and really appreciate and enjoy them for what they are.

This was our second trip booked with this travel operator. From three months before the trip, they were excellent in providing us with details about the tour, organizing our requests, answering all our questions, and ensuring we had the best time possible. We truly felt well taken care of and worry-free while using Realistic Asia's services. Evelyn and the team always went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed every part of our trip.

We did the 12-day Exquisite Vietnam Culinary Expedition tour, and it was the perfect tour for foodies! We visited so many places and learned so much about Vietnamese culture and food. We especially loved the cooking classes in Hanoi and Hoi An—they were really interesting. The Vespa tour was also one of our favorites; it was incredible, and our guide were so much fun, we had a great time with he. Our hotels were comfortable and well-located, and our guides were all amazing. The drivers were always on time, and travel our consultant Lindy, took great care of us. We truly loved the tour and would definitely use this travel operator for our future trips.

We really enjoyed this trip, the itinerary was packed but never felt rushed. We loved the walk through Saigon’s hidden alleys and the visit to the traditional medicine streets. The accommodations were comfortable, and the local meals were delicious. The only thing I’d change is maybe a bit more time in Hoi An, but overall, this was an incredible journey!

Surprisingly surprise. I took a Vietnam tour with this company before, and this time I chose an itinerary starting from Thailand. I have to say the quality remains just as excellent! We were concerned that my husband wouldn't have enough activity, but that wasn't the case at all. We were able to visit local villages, and go for walks or short hikes daily. It was wonderful.

Upon arriving in Bangkok, we received efficient and professional support. I especially enjoyed the wild experience at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary. I was really looking forward to the lantern release experience in Chiang Mai, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. However, overall, it was okay. The agency constantly checked in to ensure that any changes went smoothly. I like it!
