Phenomenal tour with great service from Asia Pioneer and Ms. Elly

Visited Vietnam for 19 days arranged by Ms. Elly at Asia Pioneer. Our trip was loosely based on their Very Best of Vietnam itinerary but with numerous changes. Ms. Elly was delightful to work with and very accommodating to our requests. She rearranged things so we could be in Hoi An for the Full Moon Festival and that is an event we highly recommend you include in your visit.

The whole journey went smoothly – every transfer and guide arrived on time and prepared, the hotels were fabulous, with many upgraded rooms. We had a fabulous cruise on Ha Long Bay (added a second night there which was well worth it). We had a Hoi An day tour that included a bike ride and coconut boat ride, but the surprise was the lunch at Dao Tien restaurant. It was a gourmet tasting menu and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Our day tour in Hue included a stop at an Orphanage for a vegetarian lunch which was also fabulous. Our Mekong Delta tour included a stop in Ben Tre for another gourmet lunch in an unlikely location.

Can’t say enough about the tour company and Ms Elly. This is a trip we will remember as one of the best thanks to the efforts of Ms Elly. No detail was overlooked which made this a remarkable experience in so many ways.
