Testimonials

We Just enjoyed 5 days in Hoi An arranged by Asia Pioneer.
The entire trip was planned with exceptional local guides and a slow paced itinerary suiting all in our group with half day activities great restaurants and fabulous street food.
This is the second time we have traveled with Asia Pioneer and this time they have put together a slower paced tour to suit the older travellers in our group.
The team at Asia Pioneer out done themselves again, highly recommended.

My husband and I have just returned from travelling with another couple through Cambodia and Vietnam for 31 days. We could not find a tour to include all we wanted to see and do, so after reading the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor about Asia Pioneer we made contact with Mr Lam.
Mr Lam customised our tour and provided advice on how long to stay at various places, the best time to travel etc. I have to admit to being a little tentative, thinking it may be a scam but my fears were alleviated from the moment we met our first guide at Siem Reap airport. The guides and drivers were always on time to pick us up. The guides generally spoke good English (some better than others) and all were flexible with regard to slightly changing our itinerary on a particular day if we requested it.

We chose to stay mostly in small boutique hotels and this worked well for us as they are usually close to restaurants and markets. With a customised tour such as this you can choose the type of accommodation (2,3,4 or 5 star)

We would recommend Mr Lam and Asia Pioneer to travellers who want to choose their own route and travel either on their own or with a small group of friends. In our opinion it represented good value for money.

Lam organised an 11 day tour of Laos for us and did an excellent job of arranging the tour. Everything went really well, the guides spoke good English and the hotels were very good. Luang Prabang in particular was wonderful and the guide and driver both took really good care of us.

From Hanoi to Ha Long Bay, to Hue and Hoi An, and then from Ho Chi Minh City and up the Mekong River through Cambodia and on to Siem Reap and the wonderful Angkor Wat – Asia Pioneer organized this three week holiday for four friends – all of it with tremendous efficiency, terrific guides. Mr. Lam was always available, always helpful and clearly knows his business extremely well. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Lam from Asia Pioneer Tours did a great job in tailoring our itinerary to suit our interests. We worked with Lam for 5 months prior to our departure. He was thorough and responsive along the way. At first I had reservations about working with someone so far away and from a different country, but the reviews about him and his company were spot on. The itinerary was filled with fascinating points of interest but was also flexible throughout so we could still adjust the daily activities throughout our 15-day vacation in Vietnam. All of the guides and drivers were excellent and appear to be carefully hand selected. I recommend Asia Pioneer without hesitation. We plan to return. Many thanks Lam for a trip we’ll remember with fond memories. K & R (Honolulu)

Have just returned from an amazing bespoke travelling adventure around Vietnam organised and facilitated by Asia Pioneer. There were four of us in our group and the itinerary was full on through choice but level of service and organisation throughout the tour was second to none.
Would thoroughly recommend Asia Pioneer to anybody looking for an organised, private and accompanied tour in this area. Congratulations to Lam and his crew for such an unforgettable time.
