Realistic Asia Reviews 

Thang did a great job guiding us through a 2 week trip through Vietnam. Thang reached out each evening with what the plans would be for the following day and all hotels, transportation and tours were spectacular.

Long of Realistic Asia, my local specialist was outstanding, THE BEST! He has restored my faith in kimkim.

I had my first trip with kimkim to Croatia in Oct. 2019. The local specialist, Antonia, was amazing. She was a true "Travel Magician" and we had the best time thanks to her.

Second trip with kimkim was to Portugal in Oct 2022 with local specialist Beatriz based in Madrid, and it was an absolute disaster. Beatriz failed us in so many ways. Because of my 2019 trip experience, I got my closest friends to join this trip. We were all totally disappointed and I had to keep apologizing to my friends. I was determined as a result never to travel with kimkim again.

This time, I wanted to vacation in Vietnam and my daughter encouraged me to give kimkim another chance as she and her family returned from a very good trip with kimkim in summer. Against my better judgement I did and now very pleased to report, Long did a fabulous job from start to finish, and has restored my faith in kimkim.

At the outset I asked Long if he had read my 2 previous reviews, and told him that I expected him to perform and deliver to my expectations. And yes, Long more than delivered. He understood my "demands" - great sightseeing, great local food, the best but not outrageously-priced hotels, and superior guides/on-the-ground service.
Long put together a wonderful trip itinerary for Vietnam and was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process.

Thanks to his diligence, and stellar customer service, my husband and I had the most enjoyable time and loved Vietnam.
We did so many interesting and fun things. Ate the best local food, great foodie tours. Stayed in well-located 5-star hotels - charming boutique hotel in Hanoi French Quarters, the best room (gigantic honeymoon room with this phenomenal round bed) on our Ha Long Bay cruise, beautiful Moire Hoi An (IHG collection) right by the river in Hue, etc, etc.

On arrival in Vietnam, they provided VIP Fast Track Service at the airport, and we were escorted and breezed through customs.
We had our own private cars with excellent, careful drivers and great, very knowledgeable local guides.
While waiting to board our flight home, we met fellow travelers at the airport who didn't do half the fun and exciting things we did - Highlights: Cyclo Tour (we were pedalled through downtown Hanoi in their version of rickshaw right smack in the heart of downtown traffic with our cyclist assuring us repeatedly "No. 1 Driver!" as he skilfully avoided oncoming buses and motor bikes.), flat-bottom boat ride down the river in Tam Coc where the boats were rowed with feet not hands, Citadel (stunningly beautiful Imperial palace in Hue built with heavy French influence), basket boat ride in Hoi An and Sai Gon Night Street Eats with Vespa Wanderers (sat pillion on Vespa scooters and ferried from restaurant to restaurant eating the most delicious local food - best coffee, best Vietnamese sandwich, amazing fancy restaurant, best local dessert and capped it off with drinks at a nice bar.)

Long planned a fabulous itinerary for us, and totally performed and delivered. He personally welcomed and met us in Hanoi with souvenir gifts handmade by his girlfriend, prepped us every day on what to expect the next day, made sure we had the best guides and drivers, checked with us every day to make sure we were happy and had no complaints....in constant contact and responded immediately to anything we needed.
In short, he was OUTSTANDING, THE BEST, another true Travel Magician.
He even checked and made sure we returned home safely.
Extremely well done Long and THANK YOU. You have restored our faith in kimkim.
We will be recommending good friends to you. Keep up your superior level of customer service.

Excellent experience and great value. Wonderful local tour guides and businesses. Thang was excellent coordinating the entire trip…thanks for everything!

The "Amazing Vietnam Super Save Package" by Realistic Asia definitely lived up to its name as my family and I had a truly wonderful time. The tour was well-paced and managed to fit in a lot of activities in 10 days without being overwhelming. We experienced a wide range of adventures in Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh. Long from Realistic Asia provided amazing service from the moment I booked in Australia, providing advice on visas and tailoring the tour to our specific needs as we continued to stay in Vietnam after the tour. We were picked up for all flight arrivals and all tours picked us up from our hotels and were fully escorted making for a stress-free and truly amazing holiday with great memories. Long was also available on Whatsapp the entire tour to help resolve any issues and confirm arrangements. Highly recommended! Thanks Long and Realistic Asia!

We have had an amazing tour to Vietnam. Our tour advisor, Stephen, was so responsive that we wondered whether he got to sleep.
The arrangements he made have been great. They made every step of a big trip smooth and comfortable.
Every person we have encountered has gone about be and beyond to make our trip enjoyable!
Jun was an excellent city guide. Sun was an engaging tour leader for the day and made us laugh throughout a busy day.
Our trip to Halong Bay was made complete by the fabulous Dora cruise staff, Sarah, Dian and an amazing masseuse were the ones that took care of us with a smile and a lot of information.
Our boat excursion navigators worked so hard to get us amazing views.
It’s been a top notch experience thanks to the people who worked in this.

It was great perfectly planned. According to itinerary all went well. Edna was a great help making sure it all went according to plan

Highly recommend! Everything went exactly as planned. Our tour operator kept in touch with us every day ensuring everything was taken care of and on schedule. The perfect itinerary!

We traveled around Vietnam for two weeks with Realistic Asia. The organization was really excellent, all pick-up times were on time, travelling happened in small groups and comfortable cars and buses. The tours have been very interesting with excellent service providing great impressions of Vietnam such as Sa Pa, Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Saigon, and the Mekong Delta. The local support by our travel assistance Mr. Thang was really great, he was very friendly and very service-orienzed, hence, always available for any needs or questions, which he clarified immediately. He provided us every day with all details we needed for a smooth trip. In summary we can fully recommend a travel through Vietnam organized by Realistic Asia.

Linh at Realistic Asia made our trip so easy. We did 18days in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia and Linh was able to customize an itinerary we chose to exactly what we wanted. It was very helpful to have someone in the same time zone to answer questions and Linh was in touch on WhatsApp everyday to confirm pick up times and check in about how our tours were. Highly recommend this company for Southeast Asia!

Our operator, Edna was checking in with us every step of the way ensuring we were where we needed to be and had everything we needed including an enjoyable experience. We always felt safe and taken care of.

Our Vietnam trip was fabulous! I think our coordinator, Chris is one of the best!

The tours Diversity for parents & Kids was amazing with time to rest mid holiday. Capturing essence of Vietnam life and regions. Food, transport & hotels all excellent

*What a great way to experience so much of Vietnam! Chris excelled at ensuring every detail was taken care of: before and during the ten days. He was in touch well beforehand to gather and share needed information to make for a smooth journey. I highly recommend Realistic Asia and Chris in particular for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam.*

I had a wonderful time in Thailand! As a solo traveler, feeling safe and supported was really important to me, and my expectations were met and then some. Communication was great throughout, and everything was organized, easy, and enjoyable. Thank you for an amazing experience!

we are usually not going on a trip with tour Operator, and this time, we made an exception. My kids chose the tour and then we let real Asiatica do the rest. It's a well organised tour with best sightseeing places. The hand picked hotels were truly charming, as well as the home stay in Sapa. Our agent Su Do consistently provided informaton, details, reminders and support. She truly went over and beyond to make this trip truly unforgettable.
I would recommend my friends and family to chose real Asiatica without hesitation.

My Tour was Vietnam Best Deal In 10 Days.
If you do not book this trip you will really miss out on an experience of a lifetime.
The landscape speaks for itself - stunning.
The people are lovely.
The destinations are amazing and breath taking.
The tour guides are the icing on the cake.

Fabulous trip. Learned so much about Angkor Wat, guide was very knowledgeable. Vietnam tours: Hanoi, Halong Bay, basket boat ride, Mekong Delta tour, were fascinating and opened my eyes to their unique culture. Thailand, Phuket, was very beautiful , sun sand warm water. Food was fabulous everywhere.

Fantastic experience with tour company and guides.
We loved how coordinated everything was, always punctual, attentive, explanatory and above all, every single thing agreed upon was fulfilled.

We had a 10 days family trip in vietnam organised by Long of Realistic Asia. It was a great experience. We stayed at 5 different locations, everything, driver, duide, visits, activities was perfectly flawless. I can only recommend Realistic asia.

An amazing way to see Thailand without having to plan anything. Just show up and they'll take care of the rest. My favorite parts were bathing with the Elephants and exploring Phi Phi Islands!
