Guest reviews from travelers on tours in and around Halong Bay
Gundi | Traveled in December
Everything was smooth - hotels were clean and well-located, transportation was on time, and guide was professional and enthusiastic. I especially loved the overnight experience on cruise in Mekong Delta and Halong Bay. This tour was perfect for someone wants to explore but also have time to relax. Thanks Realistic Asia for making this so enjoyable!
Munroe Orain | Traveled in December
Did a 10-day Vietnam tour and overall it was well-organized and enjoyable. In Hanoi, we visited a tea farm in Ba Vi — peaceful, with a great local host who shared stories from the war. The foot soak at the end was a nice touch. The Ha Long Bay cruise was scenic and relaxing, with good food and kayaking. Hoi An was my favorite stop — charming Old Town, fun basket boat ride, and some downtime to explore or get clothes tailored. Loved the lantern-lit streets at night. In Ho Chi Minh, we explored the Cu Chi Tunnels and took a busy but interesting day trip to the Mekong Delta. Accommodations were all decent 3-star hotels, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The team did a solid job. Good value for the price, and I’d travel with them again.
Monica | Traveled in December
The team organized a private two-week tour in Asia that included both well-known and off-the-beaten-path locations. Our accommodations, upgraded to four-star hotels, were excellent, and drivers and guides were always punctual. The tour operator checked in with us daily and was responsive to any questions or requests, like adding a sunrise visit.
Merlo Maduri | Traveled in December
The itinerary was well-paced and we especially loved the Angkor temples and the overnight on Halong Bay cruise. Our guide was super helpful, and Realistic Asia handled everything smoothly. Highly recommend for first-timers in Southeast Asia!
Rafael Danor | Traveled in December
A fantastic trip gave us a real experience of Vietnam and Cambodia! We enjoyed the historical Hanoi and the vibrant HCM. Angkor complex was breathtaking too. Everything was smooth - knowledgeable guides, nice hotels, quality service. Thanks team for this trip!
Nathan | Traveled in December
This tour really exceeded all my expectations. I didn’t know what to expect with 3 countries in just 10 days, but it was honestly amazing. The itinerary was fast-paced but never stressful, and we still had time to enjoy each place. Thanks to the team who always checked and made sure everything went well. I highly recommend this trip!
