Our two week trip last month was just superb. Perhaps it is not a tour for every one but for us it was interesting and fascinating in many ways. The tour was well organized and the people directing it, really were taking care of us (they even gave us a local cell phone to keep in contact). We stayed only at 4-star hotels and visit the best out-of-hotel restaurants, food was excellent, price was very very reasonable and we had no intestinal problems whatsoever (despite common apprehensions). Hanoi, Hoi Ann, Hue, Saigon and Seam Reap were all interesting in their own way, well, difficult to describe.
We have traveled through many places in the last 15 years. This is a memorable trip.
Finally, if you go ask for Ms Ruby at Asia Pioneer (make sure you go at the right season of the year)

We are very sure that the Asia Pioneer Co had arranged the best itinerary for our 6 days trip to Sapa, Halong Bay and Hanoi city tour.Both guide from Hanoi and Sapa are helpful, honest and reliable. They provide us their best experience of knowledge and whatever they can do for us and arrange restaurant for our lunch and dinner, especially Sapa guide, lead us track down the terrace rice field, let us had a wonderful view of scenery and close touch of green, enjoy fresh atmosphere and relaxing our journey. Experience minority tribes simple lifestyle and traditional custom, hand made craft souvenir, dancing and food.

Our 16 day vacation in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos was amazing. I first found Asia Pioneer when doing a web search online in the early stages of planning our vacation. I had contacted several agencies for quotes on a personalized trip, but Asia Pioneer stood head and shoulders abover the rest. From my first contact with Kata, we were extremely pleased. She answered all our questions promptly and quickly put together a tour that was just right for us. I had explained to her that my husband was a Vietnam Vet, so she included sites that would be memorable to him. The tour she put together was just the right pace with a good mix of historic and cultural sights as well as some free time for us to relax. She made the planning process so easy and explained everything we would need upon arrival…..visas, etc.

We had wonderful English speaking guides at every destination on our itinerary. Each guide was very well educated about the history of the area we were visiting as well as prompt and flexible with our daily schedules. We were provided with a local cell phone upon arrival for contact with our guides during our stay. Kata kept in constant contact with our guides during our trip and she even took the time to come meet with us while we were in Hanoi.

In Vietnam, we visited Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City. The cruise of Halong Bay was one of my favorites as was the town of Hoi An..I would do more than one night next time. Our guides Kim, Tony and Lee were awesome and I would ask for each of them again.

Siem Reap Cambodia was lovely…but warm this time of year as it was the dry season. Our guide Kia did an awesome job taking us through the Angkor temples and the sunrise temple visit is not one to be missed.

Luang Prabang, Laos was another of my favorites. The Mahout Experience at Elephant Village was probably my most memorable day of our vacation. It was a wonderful relaxing day!

Kata did an awesome job on our vacation and gave us some lifetime memories. Definitely ask for her when contacting Asia Pioneer!

Kata from Indochina is great. She listened to what we wanted and the budget. The whole tor was fantastic. The accommodation and location of accommodation could not have been better. I have used Kata and Indochina now 3 times and highly recommend them.

Lam was incredible in communicating and arranging our bespoke tour through Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. We started our tour in Vientiane, Laos and moved on to visit: Luang Prabang, Hanoi, Mau Chau, Nimh Binh, Ha Long Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Dalat, HCMC, Phu Quoc Island, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.

From start to finish Lam was so helpful and informative, with the level of service being second to none. He arranged the hotels, tour guides, day trips, flights, train and boat journeys etc throughout our stay making the experience both varied, educational and enjoyable.

All the guides were friendly, informative and helpful, particularly, Linh (Hanoi, Mau Chau, Nimh Binh, and Ha Long Bay), Nam (Hue and Hoi An), Ms Linh (HCMC) and Pheary (Phnom Penh).
No hesitation in recommending Indochina Pionneer to anyone traveling to Laos, Vietnam or Cambodia. We are going to be contact Lam again soon to see if he can help us to arrange our trip to Burma/Myanmar.

This trip was unforgettable for many reasons and my heartfelt thanks go to everyone from Asia Pioneer who really helped make our stay so wonderful.

From start to finish my experience with Asia Pioneer (ICP) was excellent. Communication from Lam (Director) was just great and brought me more confidence in working with ICP to find the right trip for me.
Lam was extremely helpful in using his own experience of Asia to assist with a truly custom made tour for my budget, time and interests. I have no doubts in recommending Asia Pioneer. They are really that good! 🙂

Asia Pioneer’s staff were able to create an amazing trip geared to making the most of a 5 day trip to Vitetnam, while respecting our budget and preferences. My husband and I (52) were treated like Royalty. Thanks again for all your help and kindness
