Lucy Do

My name is Lucy, I live in Hanoi, Vietnam, and I am helping travelers to arrange their dream vacations. Exploring the world has always inspired me, and I have always been looking for opportunities to travel. This led me to work in the travel industry. I started my job 4 years ago as an intern when I still was doing my degree. I tried different roles in the company and found my best in being a travel consultant.
I have a big passion for travel, and I continuously explore all Indochina countries. With all my local experience, I a happy to share it, making interesting and joyful trips for my clients.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"There is no doubt that Vietnam is my strength, my beloved destination. But I also extensively traveled in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Whenever I consult my travelers, I try my best to meet their expectations and find the perfect activities for their travel style. But my main strength is beach holidays, trekking, visiting cultural sites, family tours, and trips for seniors and solo travelers."

How did you get involved in travel?

"There's a misconception that you need a ton of money to be able to travel. In reality, you don't. Although, traveling requires some effort and courage to start. Now the world is so full of opportunities and flexibility, and I took advantage of this by starting to work in the travel industry. It could help me always be up to date with any new activities to do, know where to stay finding the perfect balance between quality and price. I started working in the travel industry when I was a student, I wanted to make extra money and be among the same travel enthusiasts as me. I found myself being a travel consultant, it is really joyful for me, and it fits my skills the best. After graduation, I stayed in the same company to work full-time. This place became for me a second home, I found good friends, and all my travel dreams are coming true."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of the best travel experiences I had was my trip to Quang Ninh province of Vietnam when I visited Halong Bay and explored its limestone islands by kayak. Ha Long in Vietnamese means "descending dragon", by the legend, the hundreds of islands in the bay are the teeth of the dragon, who helped the Vietnamese to defeat the enemy. This place really gives you a feeling of magic.
I was amazed by the pristine beauty of Halong Bay and the distinct feeling when I was puddling my kayak through the cave. I so loved being on the move and never knowing what may be around the corner! I will never forget this experience.

We loved our honeymoon trip to Thailand and Cambodia. All of our private guides were top tier. They shared very interesting factoids about details we may have missed that enhanced our experiences at temples, landmarks, etc. The layout of the trip beginning fast paced and ending with relaxation/beach time was perfect. Beginning with the early morning sunrise over Angkor Wat scared us at first due to the early rise time, but so so worth it! We loved most of our group tours as well. My recommendations are ask about closing times and work to pace yourself as the guides will mostly go at your pace, and research all of the companies you’re recommended before booking.

Our favorite day was probably in Chiang Mai visiting the Elephant Nature Park in the morning and doing a group cooking class in the evening at Thai Organic Farm. ENP really really takes wonderful care of their injured and otherwise rescued elephants and it is so fun to see them so happy playing with their handlers and munching on their favorite watermelon treats. We also loved that they have cats and dogs. I wish we had had a little more time to see the water buffalos, but other than that—no complaints. For the cooking class, DEFINITELY go hungry. We made so much delicious food that we didn’t have enough room for all of it!

Our very last group tour billed as a whitewater rafting day. The tour booked was the definition of a tourist trap, unlike everything else we did on this trip. Our biggest gripe was the visible elephant abuse we witnessed despite expressing strong opposition to any company participating in said abuses. That being said, even the activities were underwhelming, there was a constant pressure to pay more to do said activities longer, and the location was over 2 hours away from our hotel in a van with broken AC. This did not ruin our whole experience, but I mention it because if you’re reading this you may want to ask about and research the group tour companies before you book so you can be more aware before booking than we were.

Great location close to Karon beach. Beautiful swimming pool with just the right amount of shade throughout the day for relaxing in. We were upgraded to a poolside room and that really was such a special thing that really made the end of our honeymoon trip that much more special. Kind and helpful staff. Nice breakfast.

We enjoyed the bridge and history, but it took up too much of our day. Swimming in the waterfalls was one of the main activities I was looking forward to on our trip and we didn’t end up having enough time to swim much and missed the last two levels of the waterfall because we didn’t know that they closed so early. This was a little disappointing. The waterfall was truly wonderful and I loved swimming I just wish I had had more time there. I could’ve spent all day just at the waterfall.

They connected us with Lucy at Realistic Asia for our trip to Vietnam. Lucy was wonderful and super responsive. She spent a long time with us crafting the perfect trip for us. During our trip, she was super responsive with contacting hotels to store our luggage, contacting tour guides to make adjustments, and helping us with overweight/excess baggage on our domestic flights.

We used Hanoi as our home base. We decide to stay at different hotels each time and I’m glad we did that to experience different hotels and different locations in the old quarter. I guess it would have been easier to stay at one hotel the whole time and just leave our bags there instead of having to pick up our suitcases from other hotels. But it was all so close that it wasn’t a problem.

We landed in Hanoi and stayed there a few days. Then we went to Ninh Binh and Pu Luong nature reserve. From there, we drove back to Hanoi and then flew to Da Lat. Then we flew to Da Nang and stayed in Hoi An, and Hue. We flew from Hue to Hanoi and that was the end of our trip. We arrived on Nov 11 and departed for home on Nov 29. We loved the places we went to.

Our tour guides were wonderful and helpful as were our drivers. We are so glad we worked with Lucy at Realistic Asia!

We had an amazing trip to Hanoi with a great itinerary which was designed by Lucy and she made any changes we requested. The hotels were great.
We had a lovely guide Mr Huan and a very nice driver who was with us for the whole trip.
Both looked after us very well and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable.
