Testimonials

We just finished an 8 day adventure in the North of Vietnam using Asia Pioneer as our tout operator. We were 5 people (wife and 3 girls aged 10-17). Our guide Tan, picked us up from the Hanoi airport with a new van, and was with us the entire time. Tan spoke a fluent English and was both patient and informative. Our tour included Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, the Perfume Pagoda and Sa Pa area. It was an adventure we will not forget. Everything was perfectly organized by Tan and the tough driving done by our great driver.

We truly experienced the different aspects of Northern Vietnam and we owe it all to Tan and Asia Pioneer. The flexibility to plan together with the guide was great, and we really didn’t want the time to be over. Alas, it always ends…

Great job Asia Pioneer!

Our trip with your company was excellent and we haven’t nothing negative to report. All of the guides were amazingly knowledgeable about the history and culture of your amazing country.

We often hear Vietnam described as a beautiful country over here in NZ. We would say that it is the people who are beautiful. The people seem at peace with themselves even though many appear to have little in the way of material goods and services. I would say that the people we came across had a gentleness and calmness about them. We also felt very safe wherever we went.

We would also like more people in our country to know that Cambodia is a safe place to visit. – in Siem Reap at least. Like the rest of the world, we were shocked at what happened there under Pol Pot’s regime.

Once again thank you so much for giving us a wonderful experience that we will never forget.

We have already recommended your company to friends. One couple even sounded sorry that they had already booked on a different type of tour!

Mr. Lam arranged a full-day private tour of Hanoi for my husband and myself. We were very pleased. Our tour guide was on time, very knowledgeable, and took us to all the highlights in Hanoi with a private, air conditioned car. A delicious lunch in a charming Vietnamese restaurant was included. Mr. Lam was very professional and responded immediately to all my questions. It was a pleasure using Asia Pioneer to book this tour.

Asia Pioneer was highly recommended to us from a family member and we were not disappointed. From our initial enquiry, to designing our final itinerary and throughout our 3 week family adventure we felt like VIP customers. The needs of our family (2 adults, 2 children; 6 and 7years) were given the highest priority with room for flexibility and change during our stay which helped to make this a memorable family holiday. From it from as far South as the Mekong Delta through to Sapa in the north we feel we have seen The Authentic Vietnam. The accomodation, and suggested sights (both touristy and the road less travelled) were of high standard with wonderfull service and attention from our guides throughout. We highly recommend Indopioneer and would travel with them again.

Booked tours with company on three seperate days, found the operators friendly, punctual, informative and very professional. Would definitely book with them again.

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.
