We spent 29 days in SE Asia traveling from southern Thailand to northern Thailand, on to Siem Reap , Cambodia and then Vietnam from the mountain highlands in the north to the Mekong River Delta in the South. Quyen made all the arrangements and made it all seem so simple. He arranged our internal flights, our hotels, wonderful guides and helped us put together a fabulous itinerary. I am hoping I have some friends thinking about SE Asia. I would love to refer them to Asia Pioneer. Thank Quyen for our wonderful travels.

My trip to Vietnam was very last minute and I had no time to properly arrange anything before I left. After a couple of days in Saigon I thought I needed some help and contacted Asia Pioneer by e-mail on a Saturday afternoon (when the offices were technically closed). They responded pretty much immediately and by the Sunday a trip to North Vietnam including Hanoi, Sapa, 2 days on a Halong Bay boat trip and Halong on Land had been sorted with connecting flights from the Monday which was only possible due to the time and effort spent by Kata. She went over and beyond what I have previously experienced from any travel consultant/company.

An extra lovely touch – Kata was not sure whether we had received an e-mail from her telling us that Sapa was colder Saigon and that we should bring a jumper so appeared at our hotel with scarves to keep us warm!

We were very satisfied with Asia Pioneer on our recent visit to Cambodia and Vietnam, everything worked like clockwork, accommodation was excellent, although I would suggest upgrading in HoChiMinhCity as the room was very small at our hotel.we booked online and had nothing but 100% satisfaction with many emails going back and forth with Mr Lam

Asia Pioneer provide us with an outstanding vacation. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and adapted to changes we wanted on the fly with no hesitation. I felt they were proud of their country’s history, culture and people. The events planned for us gave us all a great feeling for the country. From the hustle and moped-filled streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, to the spectacular countryside in Sapa, beach front in Hoi An, to water adventures in Ha Long Bay and the Mekong river–each day was a day you did not want to end. The food, hotels and sightseeing were all top notch and provided great value for dollar. Indochina was less expensive than two other companies we checked out for an essentially identical itinerary. I was so impressed, I plan to return soon and see those places I did not see in my 16 days.

A few hints (sorry these are American focused). Bring single dollars for tips and miscellaneous small items–the $ is widely accepted. I was able to change currency at the hotel for a good rate and avoid the 3% fee the ATMs charge you.

We provided some input as to what we wanted to see and do and they seamlessly put it all together for us. There wasn’t one glitch in our trip and we all said we wouldn’t change anything.
All of our guides and drivers were amazing. They spoke English well and couldn’t do enough for us. They told us where and what to eat often buying food for us to sample from the markets and street vendors.The drivers were very experienced and careful even in the large cities where you might be taking your life in your hands just crossing the street. They even taught us how to cross the street safely which is an art in its self.
We went to the obvious and well known sights but also some that were off the beaten track. We travelled by air, 5 internal flights, boat and Sampan, train, bike, kayak and canoe. I couldn’t say there was a favorite thing to do or see. We were blown away each time we went somewhere even when thinking do we really need to go to another market. They were all so individual and amazing and the temples as well.
Thanks Asia Pioneer I would highly recommend you as your were recommended to us.
