Testimonials

Just finished a truly amazing trip to Vietnam and the whole schedule was arranged by Lam of Indochina Pioneer. Absolutely brilliant from day one until we left, 14 days later.
Met at Hanoi and transferred to a sea plane flight to Halong Bay, a World Heritage site and just incredible. One night on a lovely Paradise Cruises boat, then by road to Hanoi and two nights at the Sofitel Metropole. Did a Jeep tour and a bike tour there, both great.
Then flew to Danang and transferred to the Four Seasons in Hoi An, absolutely luxury. Hoi An is a lovely town, busy, great market, great for having clothes made.
Then by road to Hue and a visit to the famous Citadel.
Then flew to HCM and transferred to the Park Hyatt for three nights, started with a Vespa foodie tour (amazing), visited the Chu Chi tunnels including there and back by speedboat from the City and finished off with a night on Mango Cruises junk on the Mekong Delta.
All arranged by Lam, transfers were good, guides were excellent and would highly recommend the whole experience.

Just finished a trip to Vietnam delayed by COVID for 2 1/2 years. Lam was amazing, looked after our money and rearranged the trip several times until we finally travelled in Oct 22. Once there he was in constant touch with us and our guides, dealing efficiently with any hitches such as the last minute cancellation of our junk in Halong Bay as it was damaged in a storm and sorting an excellent replacement. Absolutely brilliant from day one until we left, 14 days later. We visited Hanoi, Halong bay, Hoi An, HMC and Mekong Delta, great hotels, tours and guides- it all went without a hitch.

We would highly recommend Asia Pioneer and Lam if you are thinking of a visit to SE Asia.

If you are looking for a private tour of SE Asia, look no further than Asia Pioneer. I recently returned from a 30-day private tour of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand all arranged by Asia Pioneer and could not have been happier with everything they arranged for me. They are top-notch from working directly with you on planning your trip, arranging visas, having individuals at the airports to meet and walk you through everything when entering the countries, having amazing tour guides and drivers as well as organizing everything for you on the ground and being there to help you all along the way if you have any questions or problems. My tour was amazing with not only the normal tourist sights, but many off the beaten track sights and with your own guides, you learn so much more from these individuals who actually live in the places you will visit. I can’t recommend this tour agency enough. If you are looking to travel to any of the locations Asia Pioneer has tours, you must book through them, you will not be disappointed.

Lam did an amazing job putting together an itinerary based on phone/text conversations. We told him the where and what and he did the rest. The accommodations were beyond expectation, the guides were unbelievably friendly, and the places we were taken were spectacular. Having guides and drivers is worth every penny. So much time and money would have been wasted had we tried to accomplish this ourselves.

We got to experience so much more because of our guides local knowledge. Lastly, how great it was not to worry about how we were getting to the next adventure. Had we not used Asia Pioneer I truly believe I wouldn’t have as many astonishing memories.

We had 21 days on a private tour and every detail was perfectly arranged. Perhaps, the Spanish speaking skills of guides can ve improved, but overall they were very helpful and committed with their job. I want to highlight the performance of Juan (Hanoi), Miguel (Hoi An), Chao (Ho Chi Minh City) and La (Luang Prabang, Laos).
Hotels were as we asked and the timing for the visits was very good.
I recommend this travel agency!
