Interesting natural phenomenon but massively overpriced for what it is. Staff are unfriendly and you get the impression you are getting in the way of them sitting on their arse. They have a camel farm, allegedly, when we went they had all "gone for a walk"...

We were on a 16 day trip through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand organized by Realistic Asia and absolutely loved it! They organized all of the flights to Vietnam and then home from Thailand, as well as the internal flights. They also booked the hotels and the tours, although we did organize some additional tours ahead of time on our own for the leisure days. Each of the tours tended to be run by people local to the city being visited and each of the tour guides was very professional and very enjoyable. The itinerary was such that we started in Vietnam, beginning in Hanoi and then Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh city, then to Siem Reap, Cambodia and finally ending in Phuket, Thailand. Each of the places was different and had things to admire and explore. Phuket was the beach place, although we found Hoi An had a great beach as well. We were very impressed and very happy with each and every hotel we were booked into. They were all very clean, nice and safe and had great staff. Would happily go back to stay at every one of them again. The travel agent who worked with us, David Huynh (Dat) was amazing! He was super responsive both before the trip when we had questions and during the trip when we were unsure about anything. We were on the leading edge of the Coronavirus pandemic and he actually noticed that our original flight to Vietnam was going through Seoul and we would have been forced to quarantine upon landing in Vietnam so he went ahead and changed our flights just days before we were to leave. We then got a notice that our flight home had been cancelled and that we needed to catch a flight home a day later. He went ahead and extended our hotel stay another night. We didn't even have to pay. We did not know what to expect when we booked the tour but after having gone we would enthusiastically recommend Realistic Asia and we would definitely go on another trip with them.

Got picked up by taxi at hotel and taken to dock. Boarded a speed boat, only three of us on trip, the boat could have seated about 8. Set off at speed, no really at SPEED! Leaving HCMC at speed is great (not a fan!). About 1.5 hours later, having eaten breakfast on the go (fresh fruit and pastries) we docked. Here we were introduced to Ding and Dong (actually Dinh, but that ruins the joke!) our guides and our bikes. Bikes were good quality and had handlebar storage for phone and water. Bike ride was leisurely and on quiet roads/tracks, stopped at rubber plantation and rice paper factory. Guide was very knowledgeable. The stop for fresh fruit was very welcome and very delicious. Tour of the tunnels wasn't actually the highlight of the trip, but again, the guide was very knowledgeable. Lunch was lovely, even for a vegetarian in a beef restaurant. The minibus back to HCMC was very comfortable. Overall a fabulous day out. Thank you.

The fertile Mekong Delta is also famous for its tropical fruits and flowers. The delta area marks the end of a 4,500km journey made by the Mekong River after having traveled through six countries. Mỹ Tho is one of the biggest cities in the Mekong Delta, dotted with serene Buddhist pagodas and surrounded by dense rivers.

Can’t review our Vietnam trip of a life time because Covid destroyed our dreams but definite 5/5 for the people at Asianlink. Nothing was a problem. Gave us a credit when Covid first hit then when serious illness decided to raise its head never flinched. Gave us our money back without question. Can’t recommend enough.

Jordan our tour guide was fantastic, conducting and providing all information in both Vietnamese and English to accomodate for our group. He was friendly, proffessional and helpful- offering to take group pictures of us, helping us on and off of the boats and also ensuring there was a vegetarian friendly meal for myself. The tour itself was fantastic and well worth the money spent and deserving of a tip for all of his hard work and effort throughout the day! Couldn't recommend more, thank you Jordan! ????
