Used agent Lizzie who looked after us very well from start to finish. We wanted boutique hotels with pools as like to steer clear of large multinationals and each one selected was superb. We had done our research prior so knew where we wanted to stay so Asia Pioneer was flexible. Coming from NZ, we found Halong Bay disappointing – polluted water and too many boats. But loved Luang Prabang, Laos just a 45 min flight from Hanoi. It was the highlight for us. No large tour groups & lovely colonial French architecture. Quieter than Viet’s hot spots. Buddhist culture, elephant conservation, serene waterfalls.
Lizzie kept in touch the whole way & adapted our itinerary as requested. Our guides in Hanoi and Laos were excellent. Use a Vietnam based agent like Asia Pioneer to plan your land content. Nothing beats the local knowledge and back up if things go wrong. Thanks Lizzie & Asia Pioneer for a great trip.

We wanted a trip for 2 of us, somewhat last minute, and didn’t feel like putting in all the effort to plan it. Hien skyped with us and put together a trip that was AMAZING. We loved Cambodia, but suggest 2 half-day tours of the temples instead of one or two all-day tours. You will get templed-out. Everything will blur together. Definitely try The Bug Cafe. It’s definitely something to talk about later. Our favorite city in Vietnam was Hoi An and we wouldn’t have thought of it if it wasn’t for Hien. Bring your favorite dress and they will remake it for you in 48 hours, buy leather, and try all the delicious food. We highly suggest adding on a cooking class or a lantern class. Hien even came and met up with us at the end of our trip to meet with us personally.

For about a month, I solo traveled through Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia and enjoyed the most beautiful trips of my life. Although nervous about doing this trip alone, Mr. Lam Duong promised my safety came first. Each guide in each city took care of me like I was family. Everywhere I went throughout SE Asia, the guides and the locals make you feel at home. The sights are one thing, but the culture is true beauty. I had a blast every single day knowing I was safe, and knowing that I had a full itinerary every day. Each guide was flexible to the itinerary as well. If you are ever planning on traveling to Asia, I 100% recommend using Asia Pioneer. My itinerary was fantastic, my guides took care of me, and the hotels were beautiful. Thank you again for all of your help Lam!

Must See Destinations: Hoi An, Sapa, Siem Reap, Luang Prabang.

We booked the 5-star version. Overall the trip was enjoyable, lots of activities quite reasonable. Our tour advisor Kata Tran was very responsive and helpful. All the tour guides were very knowledgeable and professional, except for one guide in Hue who had an attitude that I did not like. Even though in the end the Hue guide solves the issues we had, we still felt he was not as heartwarming as all the other guides that we had.

We used Asia Pioneer to book a four day trip to Ho Chi Minh city and the Mekong delta. We had a wonderful time and Indochina made all the reservations and provided a great tour guide and driver. Our guide made some helpful suggestions and was very knowledgable about the area. I highly recommend this company. It was easy, reasonably priced, and we were treated well throughout the entire process. Very helpful team that clearly cares about doing a professional job.

We traveled to Vietnam in November for over 3 weeks. Our trip was organized by Lam at Asia Pioneer. We cannot recommend Lam & Indochina enough. All emails were answered promptly, our drivers and guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We visited some amazing places that without Lam’s suggestion for our Itinerary we would have missed.

It was great to meet Lam in Hanoi before we moved on to the next part of our adventures. Once again we would definitely recommend Asia Pioneer for an amazing Vietnam holiday.
