This was our best trip ever!
Winston from Asio Pioneer was a great help in designing our private tour to Cambodia and Vietnam with great understanding of our desires and limitations as well as offering etraordinary elements, that suited our needs exactly.
With a private driver and guide in every location, organization was flawless. The choice of hotels was excellent and many exquisite meals were part of our booking. Each one an experience for itself.
The locations of our trip proved to be highlights. The visits well-timed and of good length, avoiding too much time in one location. We omitted leisure time in a beach location, but that is simply due to our lack of love for sand and beach.
Whenever we had a question, Winston was available immediately. Each guide in each location also shared their whatsapp number, allowing very easy communication to time pick up or answer questions.
Vietnam has so much to offer and a key element for this trip is the variety of experiences and views during the trip. We loved each single activity as maximum comfort was ensured all the time.
We have had many trips across the world and we are quite spoilt and peculiar in our needs and desires. We find it easy to recommend Winston and Asia Pioneer to the fullest as they really made an outstanding trip at a very reasonable price.

My partner and I did a trip to HaLong Bay and Sapa recently. Emmy Tran was our travel designer and did an amazing job guiding us on options, putting together a detailed plan and then checking in with us all the way along the trip. She was incredibly thorough in all the planning and ensured everything went smoothly. She did a brilliant job and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d have no hesitation at all in engaging Emmy again to help us with a trip in Asia!

After almost 50 years away from VN, we decided to visit the country in April 2026. As referred by family member, I contacted Asian Pioneer Travel. Maris responded my email and asked for permission to speak via WhatsApp. We discussed the itinerary for the 11 day trip. Within the same day, she designed a travel plan that would fit our budget and meet our expectation. After couple tweaks to upgrade the hotel and meals, we finalized the trip from HCMC to Ha Noi with other destinations in between.
Maris is very competent, efficient, attentive to details and pleasant to work with. Basically, we just had to show up for the tour.
The most fun event, personally was the Vespa tour in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. Felt like a local while weaving in and out of traffic. Also we had chances to try many local favourite snacks and food such as banh mi, papaya goi, egg coffee, pho, etc. It was a memorable trip in VN after being away for such a long time.
We will not hesitate to use the service again for our future travel plans or refer to family and friends. Thank you so much to everyone at Asia Pioneer Travel and especially Maris, our travel designer, for all the hard work you put in.

This was our second trip in SE Asia with Asia Pioneer, and I can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience! From the moment I re-engaged with Winston, the planning and communications were smooth and the information clear. He’s so accommodating in tailoring the trip to our needs, and it was lovely to meet Winston f2f during our stay in Hanoi.

We loved our time in Vietnam, and the guides we had at the different locations were all super friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They helped to make the trip extra special.

Loved my experience working with Asia Pioneer Travel. Maris was wonderful to work with, the guides were excellent, and the overall experience was unforgettable! I will definitely use Asia Pioneer again for future travel in Thailand and Vietnam.

My family had a wonderful 3 weeks tour exploring Vietnam from north to south. Our tour planner Jessie Lee and all your local guides were all very dedicated and filled our trip with memories for life. The tour was perfectly organized and it was a smooth travel experience for our family with kids age 8,10,12.
We will highly recommend Asia Pioneer Travel.

My wife and I just returned from a 7-day trip through India’s Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur), and it was one of the more intense but rewarding trips we’ve taken.

India can be overwhelming on a first visit. Delhi especially is a lot to take in at once; traffic, crowds, constant movement but that’s also part of what makes it so memorable. An early morning visit to the Taj Mahal ended up being one of our favorite moments of the trip.

We worked with Asia Pioneer Travel (APT) and Ms. Lizzie Pham handled the planning. This is really where the trip came together.

Before going, we had some hesitation, mainly around safety, getting between cities efficiently, and avoiding food issues. Lizzie didn’t just reassure us; she put together a plan that clearly accounted for those concerns. Transfers were smooth, timing between cities made sense, and the hotel and restaurant choices felt deliberate rather than generic.

There were a few moments during the trip where it was obvious how much thought had gone into the planning, especially around pacing and knowing when to build in downtime versus pushing through a full day. That made a big difference over the course of the week.

India is not the easiest place to navigate on your own, particularly on a first visit. Having someone like Lizzie who understands that and plans accordingly is what turned this into a trip we could fully enjoy instead of manage.

If you’re considering this itinerary and are on the fence about using a planner, I’d strongly recommend working with Lizzie and APT. It changed the experience for us in a meaningful way.
