Testimonials

On the recommendation of friends & relatives who’d had the Vietnam experience, our family of 8 decided to visit North Vietnam for a week in late December 2015..
Being totally unfamiliar with this country, we needed someone in Hanoi to organise the entire trip for us.& to hand-hold us through all the activities.
We selected Asia Pioneer Co.because of the rave reviews seen on tripadvisor..
We were pleased to receive very prompt e-mail replies to our queries from the officer-in-charge Ruby.Since there were old folk and very small children in our group we needed the tour to be custom made for us . We needed to travel by boat and road transport to the maximum, and yet see the best of North Vietnam.. Accordingly Ruby organised visits in Hanoi to the key museums, restaurants and cultural programs . And excursions through the countryside and the waterways .of Cam Toc & Halong Bay.. A guide was at our disposal from the start to the end of our trip . All hotel bookings , transport , tickets to attractions , & meals were included in Ruby’s package which we found quite reasonable . She even assisted us in obtaining entry visas to Vietnam..
Our first excursion to Vietnam was smooth and incident free , thanks to the very personalised service given to us by Ruby and her team . I have no hesitation in recommending Asia Pioneer to any first time visitor tho Vietnam .. .

The experience was far more than what we expected. Kata Tran was the organiser and communicating with her was great, she answered all our queries even though I am sure they were sometimes trivial. The guides and drivers in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi were excellent with their knowledge and sense of humour and were very accommodating.
We will certainly use this company again and refer to our family and friends.

Asia Pioneer was recommended to us by friends – we were not disappointed. We were impressed by their efficiency and organisation, from the start of a short planning period, right through to the end of our travels.
We had a rather vague idea of what we wanted to see and were open to their suggestions. Our travels included the obvious tourist destinations, but two of the highlights were places we had no previous knowledge of. Firstly the coastal area of mud flats and mangroves in the Nam Dinh and lunch on a clam shack. Another highlight was the amazing Cao Dai Temple west of Ho Chi Minh City.
At all times, transport, hotels, day tours and the care from our guides and drivers was excellent. When we left Vietnam we felt there was still so much to see, and look forward to another visit with Asia Pioneer with their knowledgeable and friendly staff.

We engaged Asia Pioneer tour for our annual family trip of 9 person. Mix of young adults and elder people. Previously we have not been to Vietnam before and we did not expect the trip to turn out a blast !!!

Our trip brought us to mountains and rural areas of Sapa , to the amazing Halong Bay and lastly to Hanoi!

I, myself came with little expectations but left with admiration on how the country has grown ! All thanks to Mr Lam and their team for the fantastic tour and introduction.

The tour was well arranged. With good accommodation to the less mobile elder adults as well as the younger adults. Accommodation was great and food is fantastic! There are no “outlet” stores shopping and all recommendations on where to go is base on our requirements and their knowledge of the country.

Very tailored tour to suit our family.

Our guide also had an excellent command of the English language. I would say even better than myself. 🙂
This helped greatly in bridging the gap in understanding Vietnam’s culture

I would highly recommend Asia Pioneer tours to anyone looking for a wonderful holiday in Vietnam.

Great job !! Keep it up!!

Cheers!

We just got back from Hanoi and Danang. Tks so much to Kata for arranging the tours. We really enjoyed ourselves. The restaurants that were recommended were great! Thanks.

I decided to book our tours in Vietnam through Asia Pioneer after seeing all of positive reviews here on Tripadvisor. Lam, the proprietor, definitely did not disappoint! He worked with us to customize an itinerary for Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue, and My Son, providing us with a well-organized PDF booklet of all our planned excursions. In addition, his pricing is very competitive – far less than the cost of similar tour companies based here in the U.S.

The planning couldn’t have been easier, and we felt very well taken care of throughout our one-week (too short) stay in north and central Vietnam. Friendly tour guides awaited us at the airports in Hanoi and Hoi An to take us to our hotels. Sure, many hotels offer this service for a fee, but it was nice to have it all arranged at once, rather than coordinating with multiple providers.

WHEN (not if!) we come back to Vietnam, we will definitely work with Asia Pioneer again. I only wish we had found them sooner! We would have been able to get better rates on our hotel stays than what we were able found on our own. We highly recommend Asia Pioneer, *especially* for those tourists visiting Vietnam for the first time. Thank you again, Lam! Our trip was amazing!
