Testimonials

My husband and I just returned from an awesome 11 day/night custom, private tour of Vietnam. My contact at Indochina was Ruby and she was excellent. From the first interaction by email she was prompt and answered all my questions…and I had many.

I saw an itinerary online they offered and used it as a starting point. We then turned it into my dream vacation for my birthday trip. We started in Saigon, then went to Hoi An, Hue, Ninh Binh, Halong bay cruise and Hanoi.

Ruby had awesome suggestions and we were very happy adding Ninh Binh. Which I would have never thought of on my own. I gave her a loose budget, our must sees in each area, what type of rooms we wanted (specialty boutique hotels, 4 star-hotels and cruise) in locations we prefer (in the middle of the action or beach resorts).

Since I like to be involved I asked for several hotels and cruises to choose from. Ruby worked her magic and got me great options to choose from and an itinerary that was perfect for us. She then took care of all domestic flights.

The tour guides in each region we stayed spoke English and were friendly and knowledgable. Our guides catered to any changes we wanted with daily pick up times, shopping & extra stops. The vans were newer, the drivers were safe & they always had bottled water and/or fresh towelettes waiting after seeing sights or shopping.

Asia Pioneer built us a 12 day customized tour of Viet Nam. We did everything that was listed on the tour and there were no surprise costs. We had excellent service and guides in each of the cities we visited. They were also very accommodating to our food requests. Everything went smoothly and we would use this group again and recommend them to our friends. Wonderful trip!

We were a big group of people traveling trough Vietnam and Thailand. Asia Pioneer really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome in both countries. They made custom made the trip for us the way we wanted When I go for my next visit to the Indochina I know who I will contact to accommodate us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Cambodia. Our tour guides were knowledgable and very personable. The drivers navigated traffic and roadways that were very challenging but we felt very safe with them at the helm. He learned a lot and saw all of the things we had come to see in just a couple days’ time. We were treated with great respect and felt that no matter what we wanted to do, our hosts woul accommodate us.

My sister and I enjoyed a 15-day personalised tour organised by Ms Ruby of Asia Pioneer in May this year. We had our own driver and tour guide for most days of the tour, and went from Hanoi to Sapa, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue ending up in Saigon. It was wonderful to have everything organised and not have to do anything apart from jump in our own very comfortable car every day and be taken to see something new and interesting, including walks in Sapa, cycling in Hoi An and several boat trips – all great. We could not have seen all we did without the very good planning of Ms Ruby which all went off without a hitch. Definitely recommend a private tour with this company and if I am back in the area I will use Asia Pioneer again.

Could not fault this tailor-made trip prepared by Ms Ruby of Asia Pioneer. Each city we had our own personal guide and driver. Guides were well prepared, always helpful and just full of knowledge on the history of each location we visited. Drivers were excellent and cars kept very clean. Never had any delays with internal flights, hotels were always ready for us. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and will definitely be using them again. By having a private tour we could choose to stop our tour at any time if we chose to do so, no waiting for big groups to finish site seeing. We could do things at our own pace. Many thanks Ms Ruby for making our holiday one we will remember and talk about fondly for many years to come.
