We booked our tour through Asia Pioneer and our travel consultant was Lam Duong. Out tour was a private 4 person excursion that took us through Saigon, My Tho, Can Tho, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi, Mai Chau as well as a cruise on Halong Bay.
The hotels were all great but our stay at the La Siesta in Hanoi was made special by the family atmosphere from the staff there, The Silk Marina in Hoi An is a great place to unwind and enjoy a quieter pace. Our drivers were very competent and we never felt at risk in the heavy traffic. Our guides were very knowledgable about all sites we visited, I was amazed at how detailed they would get in respect to dates and names. They always assisted with our check ins and getting lunch set up so we could have an enjoyable time.
The food was mostly great but a few times we were not sure what we were getting but it was never a big deal. We had a choice of great western style meals when we wanted some comfort food. We did have some wonderful local food that was very delicious.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Having never been to Indochina before we had a look at Asia Pioneer after looking on trip advisor, the reviewers certainly were impressed with IP and also with Lam, my initial thoughts were on the lines that Travel agents are never this good!
My wife and I have just completed a 28 day trip, we’ve travelled by plane, boat, train, car and all our arrangements have gone like clockwork, they were all done by Lam and he has excelled.
Throughout our travels to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia the guides have been great, the private cars clean and comfortable and the hotels exceeded our expectations.
Lam has kept in contact with us either by email or Skype during our trip, and has helped with any problem arising, I think the biggest compliment we can pay to Lam is, he isn’t like most travel agents, he actually cares and this extends to the period after he has received your money!

This was my second trip with Indochina!!! Thank you so much Kata once again. We were thrilled with every part of our journey. Lyn, Dom, San, Long and our guides in Cambodia were excellent. Thank you to all of you for your care and kindness in showing us your beautiful countries. I am in love with Vietnam and it’s people. My experience will never be forgotten and you will all hold a very special place in my heart 🙂

Asia Pioneer designed a beautiful trip for us. The drivers were good, the guides were excellent. It was the most comfortable vacation I’ve ever been on. Our contact at Asia Pioneer, Ruby, was great at meeting our requests for the trip. The guides that they provided were friendly, and their knowledge of Vietnam and the areas we were in was incredible. No one was ever late in meeting us, in fact we found out that they waited for us. Our flight into Hanoi was late and our guide and driver were there to greet us. It was a very comfortable start for our experience in Vietnam.

I will certainly use them on my next trip to Vietnam or Laos or Cambodia.

We wanted to visit the 3 countries of Indochina in a very short space of time. Lam assisted us to plan our independent tour of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Nothing was too much trouble, and any changes we wanted to make to the itinerary were able to be accommodated. We met Lam in Hanoi, and he provided a personal touch, by taking us to lunch at a restaurant that he frequents and giving us a local Vietnamese eating experience.
Lam remained in regular contact throughout the Vietnam section of our trip to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction, and providing alternatives when the weather threatened to upset our travel plans.

We cannot overstate how much we enjoyed our tour with Asia Pioneer. Everything was so well organised and there were no problems with any of the arrangements. The hotel rooms we stayed in were very good, the guides were all excellent, the drivers did a fantastic job, and the meals provided were exceptional.

In short, we can’t recommend Asia Pioneer highly enough, the tour exceeded our expectations, and it is a trip we will always remember fondly.

We contemplated using a local (to us) agent to organise our trip, but thankfully, we were introduced to Quyen and his team at Asia Pioneer instead. He put together our personalised honeymoon itinerary in a matter of days, and it suited us to a tee. The perfect combination of adventure and luxury. We hardly had to lift a finger – our visas were done for us, we were greeted on arrival at every destination, we were given a mobile phone and told to call if and whenever we needed to, the hotel choices were great and the tour guides were friendly, fun and very knowledgable. I was also a little ill in Hanoi and the tour guide was extremely caring and helpful, and was ready to take me to hospital at the drop of a hat – it is a real comfort having someone local by your side to help you out when you become helpless.
Asia Pioneer prides itself on the personal service it provides its clients and, from our experience, it has reason to be proud of itself. This tour company made our honeymoon stressfree from the start and fantastic throughout. And…I challenge you to try doing it yourself for cheaper. You won’t be able to.
I cannot recommend this tour company highly enough – if you use them, you will not be sorry!
