I just returned from a 12 day tour arranged by Kata at Asia Pioneer. I told Kata, who organized the tour, what I would like to see. After a few changes we came up with the perfect itinerary. Please do not look any further for a company or agent (Kata). The guides, accommodations, transportation food and sights were incredible and if Kata had to make any scheduling changes (ie flights, trains) to your itinerary…TRUST her because these changes ended up being ” The GEMS”. The company is extremely professional with all of the costs specified in writing up front. Thank you Kata, Linh,Nahn, Mui and Ming for a wonderful time in your beautiful country. I will be using my voucher for next year!

We decided to not “go it alone” as we usually do. On the advice of a friend we contacted Lam with a list of what we wanted to see and do and within what time frame. We were almost immediately send a detailed itinerary which acknowledged all we had requested and lots more and for a very good price! And we realised at the end of the tour, very good value! The accommodation was great where-ever we were, transport efficient and punctual. Information given to us by the tour guides was excellent. Kata Tran who works in the Asia Pioneer office in Hanoi went out of her way to cater to all our requests and even provided us with Vietnamese specialities to eat on the overnight train to Sapa. Yum. Another impressive thing was when we were met at Hanoi train station on our return very early in the morning and provided with a hotel room for a couple of hours to freshen up before leaving for Hue. We highly recommend Asia Pioneer.

We booked our trip through Asia Pioneer and was very pleased with the itinerary
And facilities we encountered. Riding motorcycles is the only way to see the ” real Vietnam ” in our opinion. Asia Pioneer went out of their way to see that we got to
Vista and experience both the highlights of North Vietnam and the South. Meeting the local people was surely one of our high lights of the trip. Riding motorcycle s over one
Thousand miles from Hanoi to Saigon, we got to see first hand the beauty of the country.
Food was great as we enjoyed all of the local taste along the trip.
If you want to have the experience of a life time, then I would highly recommend
Asia Pioneer and touring on motorcycles…

It was a trip of a life time and I ll never forget it…
I was in the military in 1968 and served in Vietnam. ,,,the trip brought back many
Memories….but I enjoyed it to the fullest. What a friendly country..
Lam was very helpful and went out of the way to see that we had the best time possible when touring around the country side on the motor cycles. Highly recommend Asia Pioneer..great staff. Very accommodating Loved the trip.

Mr. Lam helped me design an excellent itinerary for our Viet Nam and Siem Reap private tour. He listened to and acted on our desires. We like to spend our money on seeing things, not 5 star hotels.
He and his staff arranged better than expected hotels, good to superior guides, late model cars and vans and safety first drivers.
Working with Asia Pioneer you can design a private tour for the price of a bus tour.

My partner and I had a recent 10 day trip to Vietnam that was just fabulous. Lam (Mr) phoned me in Melbourne about 1 hour after my initial email enquiry. That level of prompt, efficient, and interested service typifies the whole operation that Lam enthusiastically runs. He offered suggestions and put together an itinerary within a day, including hotels, flights, trains, boats, and the best personalised guides and transport! I had to reverse the itinerary and no problem, a day or so later, all is done!! Wow. Emails and queries are answered within a day, usually within minutes. Our 3 personal guides were just so informative, so well-spoken, and so proud of their country, and well, just so nice. Nothing is too much trouble. As for value for money, well, this would be hard to beat. I can go on and on. The hotels were great, and our boat trip for 2 nights on Halong Bay on the ‘Gulf of Tomkim’ (Auco cruises) was a five star highlight. Arranging all this via email from Melbourne did make me a bit nervous that all would work out, and Lam (who in Hanoi came over to say hello personally,) made sure we had the most memorable holiday and experience. We are just so appreciative, so thanks to Lam and our fabulous guides, Truong, Luu and Song, we will surely be back! To anyone reading this …..don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed!!

Thank you to Kata Tran who organised our day trip on line from the UK. She delivered exactly what we asked for and arranged a delightful day: booked our flights from HCM city to Nha Trang and a guide to meet us at Nha Trang airport who took us to the two sites, gave us lunch and time to explore the town and the beach before taking us back to the airport for our return to HCM city. I had several email exchanges with Kata while she established what we were looking for. She did not try to sell us something we did not want. Recommended.

We had a 15 day, 4 country trip arranged by Asia Pioneer…everything we t perfectly. Guides, drivers, accommodations and schedule were all perfect. The IP was. Dru flexible and worked w/ is to tailor an unforgettable trip. Can hardly wait to use them again for other trips to the area!
