Testimonials

My husband and I have just completed an 11 day tour from Hanoi to Saigon with Asia Pioneers. We have found their service to be highly professional, impeccably organised and faultless throughout. The highlights for us was the Halong Bay cruise (on a Bhaya boat) and the caves at Dong Hoi.
Lam answered all queries quickly, made itenerary changes without any hassle and made the whole process simple for us. The guides were knowledgeable and spoke perfect English and the drivers were certainly very skilled in negotiating the Vietnamese traffic.
Hotels used (4 star for us) were incredible value and Lam’s list of restaurant recommendations came in very handy.
We would definitely use this company again.

Recently in August this year, my husband and I did a private 21 day trip with Asia Pioneer to Vietnam , Cambodia and Laos. Although we followed much of the World Heritage itinerary listed on their website, we found Kata more than willing to add on more days, change activities to suit our requests and advise us on the best time to travel. It was lovely to meet her when we were in Hanoi and we have formed a lasting friendship with her and our other guides.
Before our trip, I have to admit to being anxious about the authenticity of Asia Pioneer and the reviews I read. I’m happy to say that all my worries proved to be wrong and we had our best ever holiday with a fantastic itinerary, well organised pick ups, accommodations and outings.
I have already been recommending them to friends and family and we can’t believe how affordable it was to receive such individual attention and care that we received on our trip.
We chose budget/ boutique accommodation and found it not only more than satisfactory but also a more authentic experience of the places we visited. We learned so much more about the lives and cultures of where we visited by interacting with our guides, drivers and the wonderful staff of these smaller hotels.
i cannot speak highly enough of everything to do with our trip. It was just a fantastic introduction for us to Asia and I am really looking forward to using Asia Pioneer again to plan another trip and see places we missed on our first visit. Marion Good Victoria Australia

Our trip to Vietnam was brilliant from beginning to end. It was so well organised we felt like royalty. Lams emails were always timely and comprehensive. Every day brought new adventures. The tour guides were so enthusiastic and so flexible. Even when I fell ill at one point they couldn’t be more helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will be using them again.

After hearing great things about this tour company from friends we booked a last min trip to Cambodia. I mean LAST minute, we have 10 days to book and plan this trip. Asia Pioneer provided us with an excellent itinerary and our guides were fab- especially Vihrom in siem reap. We were traveling with an infant and never once had a worry, the convince of having private torus was great. Once the baby was tried I could sit in the air conditioned car while my husband continued to see the sights or we could easily go back to the hotel for nap time

Asia Pioneer also provided excellent care when we needed it during the trip.

If you are looking for a tour company to cater to you all while being affordable I would recommend Asia Pioneer.

I just returned from my 4th trip to southeast Asia with the help of Asia Pioneer. Mr. Lam is always so helpful! Once again he was prompt with email correspondence and provided excellent service once I was there. This was just a quick stopover trip, but my guide was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and overall, just very helpful. My vehicle was clean and spacious, and the driver was very safe, even in bustling traffic! I have used Asia Pioneer for two trips with my family, one trip with a group of high school students, and this last trip, by myself and traveling within Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. Each time, I am amazed by the personal service. Mr. Lam always responds promptly to my emails and makes me feel like I am his only customer. I will definitely use Asia Pioneer again when I return to southeast Asia. And I feel good knowing I am supporting a local company based in Hanoi and local guides wherever I travel.

I usually like to research and organise our holidays but I was referred to Asia Pioneer Tours by a friend – THANK GOODNESS. Lam was amazing, making suggestions, changing to suit our requirements, further suggestions and all at a reasonable price. We were provided different tour guides in each city, all were great and knew their territory well, providing smooth transitions from location to location and within each city. We were given a mobile phone so Lam and the various tour guides were available if needed – not necessary, but a great extra touch.

Restaurant recommendations in each city were spot on.
