We booked a last-minute day trip to Halong Bay through our hotel concierges on Amazing Sails. We are glad that we did it. The service is very good. The activities were varied enough for a day trip. The cook is exceptionally talented. We had a 5-Star Restaurant food for a fraction of the price. He even made each of us a special meal as we each wanted a different thing.

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.

Even though the weather was raining, this was an excellent tour. The Bai Dinh complex was amazing and incredibly spiritual. The 1,000 steps was worth the effort to reach another beautiful pagoda. Inside the pagoda's resonate with calm and peace and are magnificent. Go to admire carved statues, gold Buddha and landscaped gardens, but be entranced by the spirituality. Then on to Trang An and a boat trip, where you are rowed, around a very scenic waterway system with caves, islands and lovely scenery. The bicycle trip after lunch was cancelled due to the rain, however the tour was still very good and is highly recommended.

Chose this tour company thru my canadian travel agent. Excellent choice. It was a private tour. Our guide, our driver my husband and I. It was a good choice considering the covid 19 epidemic. From beginning to abrupt end of our tour we had excellent knowledgeable guides and top drawer accommadations. The tours were well planned and gave us a good understanding of their homeland and what made them proud. We had time to investigate things on our own as well. Unfortunately we had to leave one week early but plan to return one day. We would not hesitate using this company again. We are in our 60's and our activities met our abilities. Felt safe and well informed with necessary changes. We were given a refund for places we were unable to go to

We chose Mr Linh's based on our friends' recommendation. The replies from the agent were prompt, and it was easy to make changes or ask questions. Our itinerary was fairly straight forward, and you can check all the accommodations as they provide an itinerary with links to hotels and homestays. Both our guide and driver were excellent. At all times we felt safe when Mr Long was behind the wheel. Mr Son was very knowledgeable about the area, and he also picked up quickly our favourite dishes and our average hiking/trekking speed. We did a 9D/8N trip, and had to do small changes along the way (like skipping motorbike riding as it was a rainy day going from Ha Giang to Dong Van, and then staying one extra night in Dong Van waiting for the rain to stop). The changes were not an issue to Mr Son. We had a small misunderstanding, but even that was duly noted and communicated to us. We went to places where there were no other tourists, and it was really wonderful to enjoy the fresh air, amazing sceneries, colourful tribes and see people at their daily chores. Our itinerary was Hanoi-Hoang Su Phi-Ban Phung-Ha Giang-Dong Van-Cao Bang/Quang Uyen-Ban Gioc Falls-Quang Uyen-Hanoi. To see the rice fields in full colour, I would suggest going latest early October. Around mid-October a lot of the rice had already been harvested, but still plenty being harvested by the locals, mostly women. I would strongly recommend Mr Linh's for travels to Northern Vietnam.

I have been living and working in Southern Vietnam for 10 years and I love this country very much. On our first time to visit the North, we decided to travel to Ha Giang, Ban Gioc Waterfall, and Ba Be Lake. We chose Conical Travel according to one of our friends who did the trip with them. The six-day trip amazed and impressed us with the beauty of the natural landscape in the moutainous areas. Each of the destinations we visited has its own mesmerizing features and we had chance to interact with the local people. Our kids had great lessons about how the people in these regions survive without the modernization. In short, the trip was very very very excellent. We love Vietnam so much, from the bottom of our hearts! Andrew, Lorna & kids

A fantastic day - we were picked up from our place of choice in the city and driven to beautiful sights in Hue. Whilst on the journey, our driver (Mr Dzung) was really informative about the city and its history. He was great for the entire day! He waited whilst we took our time exploring each place, giving us facts about the places we saw. He also accommodated us and took us to a specific street food place we wanted and a cake shop when we wanted sweets.

What to say about this tour! To begin with it took less than 24 hours to realise that the activities our travel company had promised in the brochure did not match the activities listed by Stray. Although this was probably an advertising fault with our tour company (STA Travel - I HIGHLY recommend not booking with them) the Stray representative refused to assist us with the issue claiming he was not a ‘Stray representative’ even though he was literally wearing a Stray t-shirt! The Thailand leg of the trip is utterly pointless as you barely see any of the country, and there are basically no activities payed for by Stray so I really have no idea what we payed for. Laos was much improved, we had two different tour guides throughout our days there who were both brilliant and the activities were really good. We had a good sized group as well which helped! Cambodia however was by far the worst part of the trip. The perhaps main reason for this was our tour guide was extremely weird and made us all feel very uncomfortable. He made a lot of sexual jokes which weren’t funny, he would make inappropriate remarks and also get drunk and act very strangely around us all. There were only 3 of us for most of the Cambodia leg (all guys), however when some females did join, as you can imagine he made more uncomfortable remarks. Considering I’ve heard from other travellers that Cambodia is their favourite place they’ve traveled, I believe Stray did the country a huge disservice as the route round the country made no sense, we hardly got to see any of the beautiful country and spent almost half the tour at the same Hostel in Siem Reap with nothing to do. Also I’d heard so much about the delicious (and cheap) street food Cambodia offered however not once did we go to any such place and instead were pressured to go (by our guide) to places which were more costly and coincidently our guide would get a free meal for taking us there! The final leg of the tour was Vietnam which we didn’t get to go to as the borders had closed due to the pandemic. Although of course, this could not be helped, our Cambodian guide did not sufficiently keep us informed on what was going on and when we inevitably asked the question “now what?” we were never given a helpful answer, and were essentially abandoned once the Cambodia leg of the tour was over. Overall, the tour was mostly awful. Before this tour started, me and my friend who I was travelling with went on a Trutravels Sri Lanka tour which was absolutely brilliant. This was mostly down to our guide who I felt really wanted to show us the best parts of his country and give us the best time possible and wasn’t trying to squeeze as much money from us as he could. This was similar to the Laos part of the tour, in which I truly felt the tour guides wanted us to have a great time (an example was one of them set up a football game for us to play against the locals which was amazing). However this trip was wildly inconsistent as the Thailand leg was utterly pointless, and the Cambodia leg was uncomfortable and massively underwhelming. And of course the part that will leave a bitter taste in my mouth will be how we were essentially left stranded in Cambodia without any real help or advice from Stray. Considering we payed for the most expensive package, I truly have no idea what that money went towards for most of the trip, particularly some of the accommodation. I don’t recommend stray at all.
