Asia Pioneer and particularly Duong Lam did us proud in organising a Vietnam tour from the heights of Sapa to the mostly peaceful Mekong Delta with big city highlights in between. The guides were good and the drivers excellent. Everything ran smoothly and the pre-ordered Vietnamese lunches and dinners were superb. Hotels faultless; transfers all perfect. Our party of four cannot recommend Asia Pioneer highly enough. Brilliant.

Asia Pioneer planned the trip of a lifetime for us. We had two weeks of holiday and wanted to pack in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, and Lam’s team took care of everything. We brought our two-year-old son and four-MONTH-old daughter and managed to do Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An/Da Nang, Siem Reap, and Phuket – it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey and they made everything so simple. Our guides in each place were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much about each of these beautiful countries and absolutely loved our time in each of them. We can’t thank them enough for making a trip with two small children so incredibly easy!

Wonderfully organised, brilliant communication and reasonable prices allowed us to enjoy our overnight trip to the Mekong from HCMC. All aspects of our trip were perfect. This is my fifth trip to Vietnam and I can highly recommend the services of Mr Ly Sy Quyen, Mr Lam and their hand picked guides.

We have just returned from an amazing trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. This was arranged fro us by Ruby at Asia Pioneer. And what a fantastic job she did. From the moment we contacted her she worked with us to give us exactly the holiday we wanted, incorporating our wishes and suggesting others which turned out to be perfect. Everything was executed with such professionalism. I could not find one negative during our holiday. All the positives included amazing accommodations, excellent drivers and guides, entrances to sites, activities such as Christmas Eve on Halong Bay, Asian Cookery class in Hoi An, a Lantern making class, Street food tour, Cu Chi Tunnels, a Vespa Tour in Saigon (do not miss this if you are ever in Saigon), New Years Eve Gala in Hoi An, and to top it all off, a sunset and sunrise at Anchor Wat, and many more activities too numerous to mention but at the same time giving us time to explore and enjoy on our own.
Even when there was a slight problem with one of our guides in Hanoi, the manager/owner of Asia Pioneer came to meet us and had a replacement guide with us in a very short time. (Hope Duc our guide was ok). It was a delight to meet Ruby in Hanoi and what can we say to her and her team but thanks a million for the most amazing holiday. We received outstanding service from start to finish and when (not if) we return to Indochina we will definitely get Ruby and her team to arrange our trip.

When planning our trip to Vietnam (our first time there), we weren’t sure if we wanted to use a tour company to help us plan and execute it. We usually prefer to do things ourselves, but after doing our research and talking to friends who had been, we decided to look into a tour company. We found Asia Pioneer (and Mr. Lam) through TripAdvisor and we are so happy we did. We were there for 12 days and went from the top of the country to the bottom. Asia Pioneer made sure everything went smoothly and were very flexible in the cases where we wanted to switch things up along the way. Mr. Lam was always available to quickly help with any questions or changes we had (but it was so well planned, we didn’t have to reach out much!).

Over the course of our trip, we had 4 different guides/drivers. Really, these were the stars of our trip. We spent a lot of time in the car, and it was such a pleasure to be able spend time with the guides and getting to know about them and Vietnam while driving through the country.

Logistically, everything was well thought out – we had busy days, but still plenty of time to relax and unwind. The cars (SUVs actually) were great, with fresh waters always awaiting us. You are never on a group tour – just you and your guide/driver, which was important to us.

We hope we are lucky enough to go back to Vietnam, and if we do, we’ll definitely be signing up with Asia Pioneer again.

We travelled the NW loop (Hanoi- Dien Bien, Sapa, Hanoi) of Vietnam in Nov. ’14. We also visited Halong Bay, did a day tour of Hanoi, and a day tour of the Ancient Villages near Hanoi. All of these tours were arranged by Mr. Lam of Asia Pioneers. Our english speaking guide was excellent as was the driver. We enjoyed many good laughs with them.

I would highly recommend Asia Pioneer and Mr. Lam … he and his company put together an excellent tour for us, were very quick to respond to any questions, and I consider them to be very professional.

We travelled to Cambodia & Vietnam in September 2016 (3 weeks). Contacted Asia Pioneer to setup a custom private trip, identified all our requirements (we are very experienced travelers), some very specific and Mr. Lam Duong from Asia Pioneer provided us with an excellent extensive itinerary that met all our needs. Lam was very understanding and focused on our requirements and made several recommendations and suggestions that turned out great! Off the back, Lam’s customer service attitude was exceptional!

WOW! The entire team at Asia Pioneer were fantastic, completely customer focused and adapted very quickly to any dynamic situation like the weather or if we felt we needed a different option on a an item in the itinerary. This agency and its staff are the best for any tour in South-East Asia and we would use them again and absolutely recommend Asia Pioneer to family and friends!

Our trip started in Cambodia, Phnom Penh & Siam Reap (5 days) and then to Vietnam from Ho Chi Min (south) to Hanoi (north) and a multitude of surrounding cities, towns, villages (18 days). We travelled by local air, luxury coach, vip-cabin train, luxury cruise-boat and private cars throughout our trip and Asia Pioneer’s setup was flawless, we did not have to think or be concerned with anything, they pampered us from start to finish. All our drivers and tour staff were very experienced, knowledgeable and customer focused.

Our experiences were full and rich, with culture, food, history, people, sights-sounds and all the beauty of Cambodia & Vietnam… AWESOME, AMAZING, FANTASTIC!!!

Thank You Asia Pioneer and Team! Including Lam, Larry, Bao, Kalvin, Thuy, Malay, Cheuk, Lu!
