I traveled to Vietnam with my husband and his parents/siblings on a customized private tour to Hoi An, Sapa, Ha Long Bay, and Hanoi. From the first inquiry to our very last day of the trip, the service, communication, and experience was beyond expectations. I cannot say enough great things about the hospitality we experienced at all of our hotels that were chosen for us. I loved the fact that our tour guides and drivers were from the area we were visiting (rather than hiring one guide and driver for the entirety of the trip hopping around cities). Each day went very smoothly and the guides we had each day were great. I was in communication with Chloe during the whole planning process and she was always so quick to respond, communicated clearly, and even met us in Hanoi at the end of our trip to say hello and present a gift to us! We had several requests for the itinerary and required a few tweaks and Chloe created the changes for us seamlessly. I HIGHLY recommend working with Chloe if you are ever planning to go to Vietnam! The cost of the trip was well worth it.

This trip through Asia Pioneer Travel was perfectly planned with our Travel Consultant and planner, Adam D. He was prompt with responses while we messaged him via WhatsApp from the US and from within Vietnam with answers to any questions or concerns we had. Adam would help us navigate and remind us of when we would get picked up for our next excursion/trip. He was very efficient, thoughtful, welcoming, friendly, respectful and responsible. This trip would not have been a success without him. I truly recommend Asia Pioneer Travel to anyone who would like to navigate through a safe and adventurous trip! The experiences were amazing and we took so many photos. I will share a few. Thank you so much, Adam!!! …’Till next time

I can’t recommend Asia Pioneer Travel enough. Lizzie’s attention to detail, listening to needs and swift responses really made the whole trip amazing for us. My husband and I wanted a smooth and guided experience in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand – this is exactly what we got.

Our 11 day tour was beautifully managed from start to finish, everyone involved went above and beyond. It was a whirlwind flurry of travel to see three countries in 10 days … we never could have done it without Asia Pioneer Travel. The hotels they chose were perfect and in ideal locations. We particularly liked the Hari in Siem Riep, Cambodia. Each guide and driver was kind, patient, on time, accommodating and professional.

My husband and I fall into the category of “high maintenance” … somewhat nervous travelers and needing to know every aspect of timing, schedule, vehicles, walking distances, weather, food, lodging beforehand. Lizzie was on it every time – no detail was too small for her to research and find the answer for. We even changed the itinerary a few days before (decided not to go on the Ha Long Bay cruise) and she managed it no problem.

There were lots of special requests while we were there (later pickup time, take us to a drugstore, can you take us to church, can you book a show for us tonight, we want to see the Hanoi Hilton unexpectedly) and the guides were accommodating every time.

I can’t tell you how amazing it was to have a private tour guide through Cambodian temples and then a black SUV meet you after touring Angkor Wat for 3 hours and offer you cold towels, water and snacks. Or have a private guide leading you through the Bangkok Royal Palace and then find a private water taxi for you. It was like a secret back door of travel opened up and made the experience seamless and effortless.

The price for everything was reasonable and worth every penny.

We will always use Asia Pioneer Travel to arrange our experiences in this part of the world. Highly recommend!!!

Lizzie at Asia Pioneer Travel organised a very informative and enjoyable tour of Hanoi and Ha Long Bay for our family of 6 people (6 days – 5 nights). After our family group tour, just myself and my wife extended our tour of Vietnam, with Lizzie’s help, to include Hoi An for 5 nights.

All the fine details that made us feel comfortable were well covered in very aspect – this was so important because there were a lot of transfers (Airports – Hotels – Cruise Boat), and making all aspects of our tour to click like clock work.

Lizzie’s selection of hotel accommodation in Hanoi and Hoi An was excellent, and the guides too were excellent. Lizzie made sure that there were English speaking guides for small things like Airport Pick up – this was important because, generally, the drivers did not speak English.

Hanoi City Tour and Evening Foodie Tour was a highlight. Our guide Tommie – we nick named Tom Cruise, did a superb job in explaining the history and culture of Vietnam – this was so important, particularly to our two grand daughters (teenagers) because their learning about other cultures was a major purpose of our tour.

Because of language barriers, touring Vietnam is not easy for Westerners. Having Asia Pioneer Travel attending to all aspects of our tour of Vietnam was the most sensible thing to do.

We were two couples who had never traveled to Southeast Asia before and wanted to see as much as we could on this once-in-a-lifetime trip. We didn’t want a large group, rather, we wanted a private tour where we could arrange to see and do what we wanted…and to be able to relax and enjoy the surroundings when we wanted…like having a relaxing day at a beach resort one day in the middle of our trip.
Lam Duong of Asia Pioneer Travel was our travel specialist who orchestrated our 3 week trip to Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia based on our interests. He made suggestions to see and do beyond what we identified as “must see” which turned out to be excellent and fit perfectly into our tour. The local guides he arranged at the various locals were exceptional – attentive, accommodating, considerate, on time, fun, understandable, flexible and informative. We couldn’t have been more pleased with what he and the local guides had arranged for us. The local guides went out of their way to share their unique stories, history and personal insights which added a level of interest and understanding one can only get on a private tour like Pioneer provides. We were particularly pleased with the short sideline stops the various guides arranged which weren’t on the itinerary that gave us the opportunity to experience the life, background and talents of the locals in that part of the world.
As a result of our experience, we would highly recommend such a tour arranged by Lam and the staff at Pioneer….you won’t regret it.

Lizzie organised our trip very professionally by listening to our every need/suggestion. We were 6 and had a wonderful time. Our guides were lovely, knowledgeable and funny, always on time, attentive and also answered our questions. Hotels were fine! Everything went according to plan, even the weather! We are very thankful for everything and will recommend Lizzie and Asia Pioneer Travel to family and friends.
