Testimonials

Just got back from our holiday in Vietnam which was organised by Ruby of Asia Pioneer. I contacted Ruby by email over a year ago to make an enquiry and her communication, planning and responsiveness has been outstanding. She planned a tour tailored to what we wanted to do/see – Hanoi, Halong bay, Hue, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Min. We didn’t have to worry about anything as it had been arranged with great efficiency and all ran like clockwork. The quality of the hotels was excellent and our guides Tong,Tan,Nam and Thai were all very knowledgable and entertaining. Our drivers were also amazing and kept us regularly supplied with lots of ice cold water. I can honestly say that this was the best holiday we have ever had and I can’t thank Ruby enough for planning such a great itinerary for us. It was also lovely to meet her in person when she took the trouble to visit us in our hotel in Hanoi. If you are thinking of arranging a tour in South East Asia I can highly recommend this company.

Just got back from our family holiday in Vietnam organised by Mr Lam of Asia Pioneer.
We had a excellent 12 night trip of which everything went smoothly. Right from the early planning stages Mr Lam responded quickly to my many email enquires through to arriving in Vietnam where we were greeted by all our fabulous tour guides(Tan, Bao 1, Bao 2 and Limh) at each location.
All the hotels Mr Lam booked lived up to our high expectations, in fact we quite often were given upgrades.
Overall I would highly recommend Asia Pioneer for your next visit to Vietnam.

A group of 19 went on a self tailored tour of Cambodia and Vietnam organised by Asia Pioneer. We were impressed with the professionalism showed by the company. We were happy with every aspect in particular with the accommodation and the tour guides. The cost of the tour was very reasonable and well worth the money.
Mr. Lam has been very efficient, helpful and thorough throughout the entire time. He even came and meet us in person at Hanoi.
We would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.
Thank you

We would like to wholeheartedly recommend Kata of Asia Pioneer as your travel and tour manager when travelling in Vietnam and Cambodia

We started working with Kata before we left the US; giving her an extensive list of sights and places we hoped to see and visit. With her vast knowledge, exceptional contacts and professionalism, Kata produced a tour itinerary that was customized exactly to our wishes, so we were able to visit every place that was on our wish list. Kata organized a team of tour guides to meet and take care of us, as we travelled across both countries, with each and every one being pre-briefed by Kata on our exact wishes, which they catered for meticulously, often way beyond our expectations

Kata proved not just to be exceedingly helpful and courteous; but was also full of life and fun, with her wonderful spirit making our trip so much more enjoyable. Without her our journey would not have been as complete, interesting or informative

We have travelled extensively across the world and I can honestly say that Kata and Asia Pioneer were able to give us a standard of service that we have never experienced before. If only were are able to use them in other countries as we continue to travel, then we would have it made!

Thank you Kata! I can honestly say I have gained a friend forever

This trip was our second to Vietnam. Two years ago, Kata Tran at Asia Pioneer put together a four week trip for us to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. This year we returned for four weeks to Vietnam only. And Kata did it again! We had visited so many primary tourist sites on our first trip that we weren’t sure if a second trip would seem repetitive even though this time we were interested in a leisurely beach-style vacation. Somehow, Kata managed to combine beach and exploration perfectly. Again, as on our previous trip, every stop was a highlight. This year Kata incorporated a “home-stay” at Coco Riverside Lodge along the Mekong. We stayed in a spacious, air-conditioned bungalow, surrounded by lush foliage in a rural village along the Mekong. We interacted with local residents, ate in a charming on-site restaurant and took lovely boat cruises daily to surrounding areas all of course with our hosts and guide. The three beach areas that Kata arranged for us were all different and offered varying experiences and amenities from city style beachfront, to luxurious resort. We visited the highlands of Da Lat and a national park and bear preserve. Each stop was new and perfectly planned with drivers, guides, and alone-time as requested. Kata is a master at listening and responding and delivering!

Asia Pioneer designed a beautiful trip for us. The drivers were good, the guides were excellent. It was the most comfortable vacation I’ve ever been on. Our contact at Asia Pioneer, Ruby, was great at meeting our requests for the trip. The guides that they provided were friendly, and their knowledge of Vietnam and the areas we were in was incredible. No one was ever late in meeting us, in fact we found out that they waited for us. Our flight into Hanoi was late and our guide and driver were there to greet us. It was a very comfortable start for our experience in Vietnam.

I will certainly use them on my next trip to Vietnam or Laos or Cambodia.
