Testimonials

We just returned from our three weeks in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and could not be happier with the arrangements Lam made for us. We were two couples, and wanted a five star tour. Based on the hotels, guides, cruises, etc, we got everything we asked for, at prices far more reasonable than other companies (like AK).
We began and ended in HCM City, to facilitate our international travel through HKG. Using the detailed itinerary which Lam proposed to us, we were able to make modifications to suit our preferences. And wherever available, we flew business class between cities – private airport lounges and special transport to and from planes, makes the small extra cost well worth the expense.
The cruise on HaLong Bay was a magical. Watching the monks receive alms, before dawn in Luang Prabang Laos, and the floating fishing village outside Siem Reap Cambodia, were my highlights.
But so many memories.
Given the US history in SE Asia, I wasn’t sure how we would be received. So I was more than pleasantly surprised at how friendly virtually everyone was.
If we had it to do over, we would hire Indochine Pioneer without hesitation. They have truly earned all their favorable reviews.

I have travelled the World extensively and this year wanted to explore with a friend – Laos, Cambodia and Chiang Mai. I contacted Mr Lam Duong Dai of Asia Pioneer Co Ltd.
Lam was great, he did what we wanted to do and also included places that he thought we would be interested To us. Everything was done very quickly and efficiently. Any query was responded to immediately.
We did not want to stay in the flash hotels but wanted some comforts. Lam arranged accommodation for us in character hotels right in the city centers with all amenities and air conditioning. They were fantastic.
I will be using Lam again in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Thanks Lam

My husband and I wanted to go on a one month vacation to Cambodia and Vietnam on a personalized private tour to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. Among other agencies, we found Asia Pioneer on Trip Advisor. After contacting several of them, Mr. Lam, of I.P., stood out from the rest. Over four months and multiple iterations, he proved to be a great organizer and arranger. He was always patient, helpful, and willing to be accommodating. In the end, he planned an incredible tour, which greatly satisfied our love of history and nature. In addition, he never failed to keep in mind the fact that I had some mobility issues, which limited some of our ability to fulfill our natural curiosities.

At the start of the trip, we arrived in HCMC one day early. At our request, Mr. Lam moved up the whole itinerary by one day. All the arrangements for boats, guides, and hotels were changed without a single error or grumble.

Mr. Lam was there for us throughout the whole trip. He provided us with a local cell phone on the first day. Any time we had a concern or wanted to make an addition or change, all we had to do was call, and he always responded promptly. Once during a taxi ride in Hanoi, the taxi driver couldn’t find our destination. We called Mr. Lam, and he quickly directed the taxi driver to our museum. Another time, after leaving a well loved piece of clothing in a hotel room in Cambodia, Mr. Lam was able to surprise us by handing us this piece of clothing in HCMC, just before leaving Vietnam.

We met Mr. Lam personally twice while in Hanoi, and he was as gracious and charming in person as by email or on the phone. His English is outstanding and clear. All in all, I would have to say that our one month trip to Cambodia and Vietnam was exceptional in every way. And there is no doubt that this is due to the outstanding planning, seamless transfers, and mostly terrific guides provided to us by Asia Pioneer.

Our family got back from our Cambodia and Vietnam trip about two weeks ago, We all agree that Asia Pioneer prepared a fantastic and unforgettable tour.
We had 5 different drivers that were all safe and considerate and 5 tour guides that were all caring, entertaining, intelligent, enthusiastic and well spoken with good English.
Our family was looked after really well by the guides, the drivers and at the places of our stay. The day meals, accommodation and travels were excellently organized and enjoyable. There is so much to do and so much to take in and our itinerary was non stop adventure time; some highlights in our tour included visiting the historic Angkor wat temple, cu chi tunnels, Meekong delta day trip and the 2 day cruise in mystical Ha Long bay – all are “must see’s”
We thank Asia Pioneer for a fantastic time especially Mr. Quyen who made it flow so smoothly. We definitely would recommend using Asia Pioneer when you plan to visit Cambodia and Vietnam.

Asia Pioneer was recommended to me by my brother who had used them on a previous trip to VN. Normally, I like to organise my own itinerary but if my brother was happy with them then I knew I would too.

From the moment, I contacted IP I received excellent service. Kata did an excellent job in terms of an itinerary at fantastic prices. Making changes to the itinerary was no problem and it was very much a personalised itinerary for me as I was travelling alone. My guide for the few days in Hanoi and Halong was Mr. Tam and he was excellent, so obliging, so knowledgeable, so accommodating, excellent English and a nice guy to travel around with.

My trip involved travelling around for a month to VN, Australia and Malaysia but for me the highlight of the entire month was a 2 day overnight cruise in Halong Bay. It was indescribable, beautiful at night, mystic in the morning and heaven on earth during a sunny December day. It also helped that IP organised a free upgrade to a real luxury suite on board a cruise ship that was just commissioned a few days previously, so, all in all a wonderful experience.

Unquestionably, I would recommend Asia Pioneer to anyone visiting VN whether it be to the North, South or Central, they have great experience, great guides and they are amazingly good value.
