I almost never write reviews, but I am happy to recommend Mr. Biker. I've had the opportunity to do two day tours with Thai (Mr. Biker) and his crew, and will certainly do another in the future. Thai is a super-nice guy, and his tours are top-notch. He loves cycling, and employs English-speaking guides who also love cycling. His shop also sells and repairs bikes. When my bike broke down at the beginning of a long tour, he fixed me up and got me back on the road quickly.

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.

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.
