Testimonials

Lizzie organised our trip very professionally by listening to our every need/suggestion. We were 6 and had a wonderful time. Our guides were lovely, knowledgeable and funny, always on time, attentive and also answered our questions. Hotels were fine! Everything went according to plan, even the weather! We are very thankful for everything and will recommend Lizzie and Asia Pioneer Travel to family and friends.

Lizzie with Asia Pioneer was a top notch planner. She had so many great, off the beaten path ideas, and if there was a hiccup on our tour through Vietnam/Cambodia, she responded to our message immediately and had it fixed.

Some of the tour guides we had on our experience were better than others, and I imagine this is more by personal preference than anything else. Be sure to be clear with Lizzie upfront the type of travel guide you would like for each tour or excursion. She will take care of it for you!

Asia Pioneer arranged the most magnificent, dreamy, once-in-a-lifetime trip, and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a spectacular, worry-free vacation! Having never been to Vietnam, trying to plan the trip by myself was overwhelming. There was way too much to see, I didn’t know the language, and I had no idea where we should go/what we should see. On the recommendation of a friend, I contacted Asia Pioneer. I gave Elly, our Travel Designer, a very broad idea of what we were looking for, and she took it from there. She planned meals, activities, guides, hotels, and in-country flights. She made sure she knew what I was looking for, and if I had any questions or concerns, she was responsive and quick to adapt the itinerary based on my needs. She did ALL the heavy-lifting, but I really felt like I had a say in everything. She gave me numerous options when I asked to see more. The planning process could not have gone more smoothly.

The actual trip was AMAZING! Everything went according to plan. Our hotels were perfect, the meals were delicious, and the tour guides were kind, professional, and knowledgeable. We had the very best time, with zero stress. I cannot rate/recommend Asia Pioneer highly enough. I wish they planned trips to ALL the countries!!!

Cherry provided amazing support and information before and during our trip to Vietnam and Cambodia.

Any minor problems were dealt with swiftly and efficiently.

The schedule and timing was great. All pick up and drop offs were on time and with very friendly guides and drivers.

Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience using Asian Pioneer Travel Company. From the very first email and text from Chloe to the last goodbye at the airport from our driver to go home and ending with the follow-up emails once we got home was al amazing and more than we could have ever imagined. This was a once in a lifetime experience for my husband and myself as well as our three children, 13,10,8. We all learned so much history and enjoyed seeing the different regions of Vietnam. Starting from the North in Hanoi, then to DaNang, Hoi Ann, and lastly to Hoi Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta cruise. From the north to the south we’re so different and so unique in its own ways. We absolutely loved the small groups and riding bikes around the different small villages. The children loved the markets and barging and the relaxing delta cruise was a perfect ending. Overall it was a wonderful vacation and one we will treasure for a lifetime! A huge thank you to Eric,in Hanoi, Ken on the ha long bay cruise, cong on the biking excursion while on cruise, Bobby our waiter who was amazing, and especially jughy on the Bassac Cruise and Mekong Delta! A sincere thank you to all!

I did 36 days & my partner did 16 days with this company touring Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and finishing in Phu Quoc.
It was originally planned before COVID arrived, but it was so easy to contact Lizzie again and put it together.
The itinerary that was put together was amazing, I also did my own research to cover my own interests.
The main thing that stands out is the available support 24/7, it was fabulous.
All the transport connections were flawless throughout, all I had to do was confirm on the odd occasion.
The guides supplied were on the whole excellent, it was nice to build up a relationship with them as their knowledge of the area’s was so good.
Attention to detail was 1st class, for example, I left a shirt on the Halong Bay cruise which was recovered and posted to my final hotel before flying home !!
This is not the cheapest option, however a seamless travel experience is what we found. It was pretty full on but down times were factored in so we had time to ourselves.
This was a superb experience, highly recommended.
