In 2019, we arranged for a private tour of Thailand for October/November 2020 as a pre-tour to our Viking Mekong River cruise. Covid stopped that: we rebooked for 2021 and again covid. Contact with Mr. Lam at the agency assured us that our deposit remained safe with them and we continued to hope and plan that we would be able to visit Asia. In June 2023, I contacted Asia Pioneer and Ms. Elly Do took us through our previous itinerary and we worked together to enhance it. Ms Elly suggested places and activities that enriched our time in Thailand. Bangkok-temples, wats, pagodas, palace, floating market, train market, dry and wet markets, long tail boat rides, street food tours and coconut ice cream. Then on to Kanchanaburi where the Thai/Burma railway was built during the war, riding the train over the Bridge over the River Kwai and viewing the local crops such as sugar cane and tapioca bushes. History of this time is seen at the Railway Museum. Then to Ayutthaya where the Buddha head is wrapped with tree roots. We had the best guide Mr. OH and driver, Mr. SAKI who were so knowledgeable, anticipated our every need and were so much fun to be with. Mr. SAKI was always ready with an ice cold cloth for us to wipe down after being out in the heat and humidity. Then we were off to Chang Rai and Chang Mai and the temples of that area, with a stop at the House of Opium museum and a stop at the Golden Triangle where we had a long boat ride on the river. We saw coffee plantations, elephant sanctuary for rescued beasts, had a blessing from monks following almsgiving ceremony, visited Karen hill tribe villages and enjoyed Khum Lanna retreat with cooking classes, cool mountain air and massages.
We ended our trip in Hanoi and were delighted that Ms. Elly came from her Hanoi office to meet us. Ms. Elly has excellent English. We spoke via WhatsApp when we were making arrangements. She responded quickly to any emailed questions. Documents arrived in a timely manner.
Thanks Ms Elly and Asia Pioneer Travel.

Elly was so kind and responded so quickly. We came up with a custom trip to Vietnam that fit within my budget. I was very excited with our plans but life circumstances forced me to cancel the trip 6 months in advance. She was so understanding and promptly refunded my deposit with no fees. It felt so good to know I had chosen such a trustworthy company to book my trip with. I will be going to Vietnam. And I will be using Asia Pioneer Travel. Thank you Elly Do:)

We booked with Chloe at Asia Pioneer Travel back in July 2023.

From the moment we made contact with Chloe, it was a seamless process.

Chloe was very professional, knowledgeable, attentive and always on hand to meet our requirements.

We made a few changes along the way, but Chloe made sure it was all taken care off.

As vegetarians, Chloe ensured that our hotels catered for us.

All the hotels Chloe chose were just right for our budget, comfort and were centrally located.

The guides were knowledgeable, had good communication skills, spoke perfect English and were very professional.

The internal flights were also organised by Chloe and was a very stress free affair give the amount of flights we had to take.

Thanks Chloe for making this memorable trip for us and I would highly recommend Chloe and Asia Pioneer Travel to anyone.

I had such a nice trip ! Thanks to Asia pioneer travel, my discovery of sapa / Hanoï / Hoi A was perfect. Chloe organised every detail and was available 24/7. Thank you Chloe and thank you to the amazing guides I had the chance to meet during my travel. I 100% recommend Asia Pioneer Travel ️

We cannot thank Ms.Chloe Tran for such a wonderfully planned vacation in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. She did a terrific job, and also surprised us with some extra celebrations for our anniversary. I would not hesitate to recommend Asia Pioneer Travel services. We would use them again in the future. The highlight of our trip was the Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I have just retuned from 15 days on tour in Vietnam starting in Ho Ch Minh City ending in Hanoi with Asia Pioneer Travel. I travelled solo and also joined small groups.
From my first contact with the Company (Elly Do)to the final day in Hanoi I was looked after exceptionally well. The Itinerary that Elly created for me personally was comprehensive and covered every aspect of Vietnam that I was interested in. All accomodation was fine, the guides were enthusiastic and well versed and all pick ups went smoothly. Highlights of the tour were Sapa, visiting the local ethnic minority tribe market and village and Ha Long Bay. There was much more !!! Thank you Elly.
