Testimonials

I usually like to research and organise our holidays but I was referred to Asia Pioneer Tours by a friend – THANK GOODNESS. Lam was amazing, making suggestions, changing to suit our requirements, further suggestions and all at a reasonable price. We were provided different tour guides in each city, all were great and knew their territory well, providing smooth transitions from location to location and within each city. We were given a mobile phone so Lam and the various tour guides were available if needed – not necessary, but a great extra touch.

Restaurant recommendations in each city were spot on.

I have used Asia Pioneer several times over the past few years and recommend them without hestitation. Kata Tran has always listened carefully to my requests and has shown a wonderful flexibility and commitment to getting it right. She makes a great effort to provide what you want and has many good suggestions. I feel she is on my side – working to make my holiday as good as it can be. I will always use Indochina Pioner whenever I return to Vietnam – which will be often!

The reviews were right. Asia Pioneer will help you have the very best experience in Vietnam. It provides the most excellent service we have ever had in our extensive travels, from start to finish.

I was only spending a short amount of time in Hanoi before continuing on to Burma so I wanted to make the most of it. I decided to use the services of Asia Pioneer again, since my previous experiences with them were nothing short of PERFECT!
As before, they gave me outstanding personal service, booked exactly what I wanted and everything went as planned. Thanks Asia Pioneer! I know I can always rely on your excellent professional company!

After reviewing others agents we settled on this company mainly because lam Duong the director was so helpful and his service continued from day 1 until our tour was over. He actually picked up the phone from Vietnam & called me after my initial internet enquiry to discuss my needs personally. The your was well organized & the Hotels first class. would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone travelling to Cambodia or Vietnam.

He met us for lunch in Hanoi and was areal pleasure to be with such a professional person.

We used Asia Pioneer during our recent trip to Vietnam based on the positive feedback the company was receiving on Tripadvisor. I was interested in engaging a local tour provider in Vietnam rather than in Australia because I figured they would have all the local knowledge. The booking process was very simple through their website – tell them what you want to see, what your interests are, what your budget range is where and when you arrive and depart – and they tailor a plan for your consideration. They encourage you to check out their recommendations by checking others experiences through tripadvisor and then revert to them with any changes. A couple of iterations of this and its all done.
Lam Duong was our consultant and he emailed and phoned us in the lead up to the tour. We met with him for lunch in Hanoi and he made contact at the end of our tour to make sure everything went well. He was available 24/7 during our tour and they provide a mobile phone with sim card during your tour to make access easier. We had to contact Lam only once during the tour as my wife left her handbag on board an internal flight and we did not realize until after the plane had turned around and gone back. Lam very promptly dealt with this through his agent and the handbag was returned the next day – completely intact with credit cards and cash. This is a significant benefit of dealing with a local agent – they take away those anxious moments.

All in all, this was an excellent trip. The accommodation was of a very good standard – well beyond what we expected in our budget, the arrangements and tour guides worked perfectly and there were no nasty surprises. I certainly recommend Asia Pioneer without hesitation. Its a great way to see Vietnam from a Vietnamese perspective.
