We contacted Maris at Asia Pioneer Travel to plan our trip to Vietnam for us. Maris was so responsive to our inquiries and is a great communicator. We finalized the itinerary and flew to Vietnam. Everything went flawlessly from pickup at the airport to drop off. The itinerary she made for us was perfect, the guides were amazing, the accommodations chosen were superb. Overall a family vacation we will never forget. Thank you Maris and Asia Pioneer Travel for showing us the beautiful country of Vietnam.

This is a note just to record our appreciation for Asia Pioneer and more particularly Cherry’s excellent, kind and professional guidance we received from her on our family trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Cherry was excellent from the ‘get-go’ communicating and assisting us with our trip long before we even arrived in Hanoi. ‘You’ are always nervous when travelling to the ‘unknown’. Cherry immediately established trust and advised us on visas, luggage, hotels and our itinerary, amongst many other little bits and pieces of information. The brochure we received from Asia Pioneer was spot on. We travelled from Hanoi to Sa Pa back to Hanoi to Ha Long Bay to Hue and then on to Hue, Hoi An and Danang. Then to Cambodia – Siem Reap and back to Ho Chi Minh City. We experienced the sights sounds and the beautiful people of Vietnam. We travelled in amazement, and we were never disappointed. Our guides and drivers employed by Asia Pioneer were fantastic, and you felt safe in the tour busses with the excellent drivers who were never late, always on time and who drove expertly in traffic that is mind-boggling at times with all the ‘millions’ of scooters. The guides were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly proud and patriotic about their Country and its history. Nothing was too much effort for everyone who looked after us. The hotels were excellent in Hanoi, Sa Pa, Hue, Hoi An, Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City. We enjoyed a holiday of a lifetime and fell in love with Vietnam, its 1000 year and more history, its magnanimous culture and its beautiful people. The Lees – Johannesburg – South Africa

The company was fantastic to communicate with, especially Cherry. All experiences, guides, drivers, food stops and hotels exceptional. Any changes we asked to be made were done so with no issues. Using this company took the stress out of travel. Highly recommend them.

We had such an amazing itinerary prepared by Quinn from Asia Pioneer travel. Such a lovely trip designed for a glimpse of Bangkok, Phuket, Hanoi, Halong Bay, Ninn Binh, and Ho Ann. An unforgettable Thailand and Vietnam trip with on time service, tours and they even went above and beyond with some additional adventures our family wanted to do. Thank you to Quinn and the team.

I am so glad I found Asia Pioneer Travel. My agent, Stella, was an absolute dream to work with. She patiently answered my many questions over many emails and was very well informed about the countries I wanted to visit, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. She created a detailed itinerary and explained the costs covered by the tour and those not covered, so I was well prepared. She was also very helpful in questions regarding visas and other documentation needed for each county. She provided tips about each countries’ customs, money, social norms, etc., and she was there if I ever needed her during the trip.

The trip itself was one of a lifetime. We spent three weeks in SE Asia seeing the most amazing sites (temples, parks, markets, palaces, etc.), having amazing boat rides, and staying in fantastic hotels. She tailored the itinerary to what I was looking for, culture, food, nature and exploration, and she kept within my budget. She arranged a private tour for us, and the tour guides and drivers she setup for us were top notch, so we did not have to worry about the language barrier, and we always felt safe. They took very good care of us. They even made sure we had cold washcloths and cold water after returning to the van from each excursion so we could stay cool and comfortable. The guides were also very flexible in switching up the itinerary if we wanted to do something else or if we wanted to do nothing at all.

I was super pleased with this company, with sweet and wonderful Stella, and with all of the tour guides and drivers. Thank you Stella for all you did. You and Asia Pioneer are the greatest!

The trip was super nice, Vietnam is a beautiful place, from the beaches to the country side and the mountains, the big cities, there are so much to see and enjoy. The people were very friendly and welcoming every place I went to. Asian Pionner Travel did a great job understanding what I was looking for on my travel and planning it accordingly. I look forward to go back to Asia.

Excellent travel arrangements, choices of hotels and tours. We travelled from the south to the north over a 10-day period. There are many things to see in Vietnam, therefore 10 days is limiting. Every part of Vietnam is a different experience, rich with history, amazing culture and delicious food.

Personally, I found the group tours to be far more palatable than the private ones. Adam, our travel coordinator was great with respect to curating the travel plan and keeping in touch throughout the trip.
