As an international adoptee visiting my birth country for the first time since being adopted at 1.5 years old this journey was emotionally complicated for me. Asia Pioneer staff Stella Nguyen and her tour team made that journey for me more comfortable. I truly felt welcomed back into my birth country and each of the tour guides I met with were very knowledgeable and helpful. Both Danny and Tim helped me reconnect back to my roots as each gave me indepth history and information regarding Thai culture.

Also, each of the hotels that were selected were all beautiful and unique. The hotel staff were always helpful and professional during my stay. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at these hotels for comfort, cleanliness, and location. I really enjoyed the fact that these hotels were at the center or very close to all the local events, clubs, markets, and stores.

Additionally, this trip was a birthday gift to myself and Asia Pioneer made sure this detail was passed onto those along the tour. The tour guides blessed me with birthday greeting, small gift, and even dessert the night of my birthday. The hotel I stayed at during my birthday also welcomed me by adorning my room with birthday greeting spread on the hotel bed with flowers and towels shaped into elephants and a heart plus a dessert garnished with Happy Birthday chocolate. It all made me feel special for my birthday.

As a solo traveler booking with a tour guide company for the first time, I would highly recommend anyone to book with Asia Pioneer! From the details and communication during the planning process to the end of the trip, it was total satisfaction. I will certainly use Asia Pioneer again for my future travel plans.

Chloe organised the most amazing trip through Vietnam & Cambodia. We transitioned seamlessly through all connections. The guides were beyond amazing David in HCM, Kim in Siem Ream, Quan in Hanoi. Yao in SaPa & Vinh in Hoi An. Thankyou … Thankyou … Thankyou

We had an amazing 5 day trip in Thailand. Winston planned the agenda perfectly, allowing us to take in unforgettable sights and experiences in a relatively short period.

Tito, our guide, was full of energy and enthusiasm, constantly enlightening us with the history and stories, not to mention his creative video & photo shoots that he did for us at every location .

I also need to acknowledge our driver Mr Ranjong too, who got us to every place on our itinerary in perfect timing!

We loved our experience and will definitely use Asia Pioneer again if we are lucky enough to venture back to South East Asia.

Thank you Asia Pioneer Travels for making our holiday a great success. A big Thank you to Maris for looking into our small small details and needs and fulfilling it. Thank you to all guides from North to South Vietnam. Highly recommend Asia Pioneer Travels.

Since day 1 I received a very professional, warm and helpful service from Winston at Asia Pioneer Travel. I want to be honest, it was SO PERFECT that at times it went through my mind that it was a scam, (sorry Winston). Well, Winston and the entire staff at Asia Pioneer Travel are real people who worked very hard at providing my family and I with an unforgettable trip full of incredible moments that we will cherish for ever! Our trip was very well planned according to our needs and executed superbly to the very last detail. My two teenagers were so disappointed when it came to an end and had to come back home. Thank you to the entire Asia Pioneer Travel team for making us very happy during our Indochina adventure! We would do it again TOMORROW if we could!

Trip Type: Couple’s journey across Vietnam – a roundtrip with 10 locations in 18 days

We booked our Vietnam trip through Asia Pioneer Travel, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. From our arrival in Hanoi on July 14 to our departure from Da Nang on July 31, every part of the journey was seamlessly organized, with personal follow-up and high quality throughout.

Planning & Logistics
Each part of the trip was well planned: transportation, accommodation, guides, and activities. We were always met by punctual and friendly guides with a driver, traveled in comfortable private cars, stayed in quality 4★ hotels in great locations, and experienced a lot without ever feeling stressed or rushed. We especially appreciated that the itinerary was flexible and could be adjusted along the way, which was particularly important in the heat.

Traveling in July meant heat and humidity, but the itinerary gave us time to rest and adapt.

Highlights
Highlights included exploring the colorful markets of Hanoi, the spectacular views from the mountaintop at Fansipan in Sapa, a peaceful overnight cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay, walking the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, and the unique experience of seeing Ho Chi Minh City from the seat of a vintage Vespa (an experience not to be missed). These activities gave us a genuine sense of Vietnam’s diversity and culture. We also appreciated visits to local temples and vibrant street markets, which added to the cultural depth of the trip.

Food Experience
Many of the meals were included and coordinated in a way that gave us the opportunity to try a wide range of delicious Vietnamese food. The two street food tours were especially positive experiences – both flavorful and social.

Personal Support
Rachel from Asia Pioneer Travel stayed in close contact with us on WhatsApp throughout the journey and was always available. She made adjustments along the way based on our preferences, including meals, pace, and small details that made a big difference. All the guides we met were consistently professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, adding depth and local insight to every destination.

Overall Impressions
There are surely cheaper alternatives, but for us it was worth paying a bit more for the safety, local expertise, excellent service, and the consistently high quality of both the hotels and transportation throughout the journey. We felt well taken care of throughout the trip and are left with lasting memories from all parts of the country, from north to south, with great and very different locations.

Thank you, Asia Pioneer Travel. We wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a well-organized and personalized journey in Vietnam, and we won’t hesitate to use your services again when traveling in Asia.

Warm regards,
Robert and Margita
