Testimonials

We did a land tour in China and needed to rejoin our ship in Phu My Vietnam. We asked Asia Pioneer CO., LTD to pick us up at the Saigon airport at 12:30 am take us to a hotel and then the next day give us a tour of Saigon and take us to our ship. They put the program together and everything worked fine. We travel a lot in foreign counties and Lam of this company is one of the most responsive agents I have dealt with.

We were late looking to book on a cruise to Halong Bay, This was no problem to them, Lam just solved it all and kept in touch personally, we found them terrific people who made all arrangements at very short notice. Delivered paperwork to our hotel personally and ensured the bus arrived to pick us up on time. The vessel they booked us on ” Callipso” proved to be a great experience, attentive onboard staff, comfortable accomodation and more than we could eat cuisine.
We can honestly say the personal touches provided by this Asia Pioneer team made our trip a pleasure. we can recommend them without hesitation and would use their services again.

If you are looking for the perfect tour operator then Asia Pioneer is the one for you! From my first communication with Asia Pioneer via their website I knew I had found a company that had my best interests at heart. My Tour of Vietnam was tailor made for me, a female senior citizen traveling alone! Changing my itinery several times was NO problem for Mr. Lam, the Sales Manager, who even called me in Hawaii to make sure he knew exactly what I wanted to do and see in Vietnam. From day one in Vietnam everything went as planned. My drivers and english speaking tour guides always arrived on time. All of the Guides I had from Hanoi to Saigon were excellent, very easy to understand and VERY knowledgeable.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Lam and Asia Pioneer for your trip to Vietnam. (They also do Cambodia and Laos). Just go to asiapioneertravel.com and fill out the enquiry form, I can assure you, you will be very impressed with their efficiency and communication leaving you with no doubt that you will be taken care of when you visit Vietnam.

Having looked extensively on the internet, I decided to book through Asia Pioneer as they had great itineries and prices to match. From the start Mr Lam was extremely efficient. An email was never left unanswered and everything went like clockwork. Holidaying in Asia already, we had a problem getting a connecting flight to Siem Reap and so decided to fly to Phnom Penh and book tickets and take the express bus. Having mentioned this to Mr Lam he had tickets delivered to our hotel and we were picked up and taken to the bus station. We spent a very varied two weeks, all the hotels were of a good standard, with comfortable beds! The highlights were of course Ankor Wat at daybreak, an exhausting bycycle ride, a homestay with a very welcoming family in the country and after a hectic time in Phonm Phen the luxury and serenity of Four Rivers Floating Lodge. All in all a very enjoyable 14 days. I would definitely travel with this company again.

My Vietnam experience far exceeded expectations – and that was largely due to the skill of our trip organiser Lam Duong of Asia Pioneer.
I travelled with a group of eight who’d been involved in a Habitat for Humanity “build” programme in the Mekong Delta area.
Our guide’s ability to connect with people visiting to his country, sharing its character and traditions, craftsmanship and culinary skills along with its disturbing history created a tapestry of unforgettable experiences. Add fascinating excursions and you have a maelstrom to reflect on!
There were laughs galore and lots of mutual sharing of family and traditions.
Our guide was flexible and interested in everyone. His amazing capacity to assimilate information is an attribute he shared
Pioneer Indochina: generously with us all.
Our group had most fascinating experiences: – becoming acquainted with Vietnamese history, the influence of Confucius on society’s attitudes (still clearly evident), of their royal lineage assisted by the astuteness of the mandarins, legacies from the French colonial era, Ho Chi Min and his extraordinary leadership and unique style of communism which profoundly altered Vietnam – and to the country’s rapid progress since opening up to private enterprise in the last few decades.
We travelled to amazing places – mostly by air conditioned coach, but distances were closed by flights. Then there were cyclo rides, boat and train trips and tramps among the mountain home of the hill-tribe people of the north, always interspersed with
Pioneer Indochina: interesting stops – and for food!
Vietnamese food is devine! We dined in delightful cafe’s and restaurants, in temples and street cafes, also in the style of royalty!

I absolutely loved their use of herbs, vegetables and sauces – exquisite subtle flavours, blended with seafood, chicken, pork and rice.
Beautiful platters of fruit frequently complete a meal. I saw very little junk food here!
Then there’s the shopping! Whether for jewellery, tailor-made garments, shoes, glasses – you name it – they’ll make it!
The skill and craftsmanship of the Vietnamese people is amazing – and their efficiency and price structure is so very different from ours!
Pioneer Indochina: Family members had asked me to do some buying for them. I was really thrilled with the results – and of the guidance and recommendations made.
Vietnam is a fascinating country to experience.
The people are delightful – courteous, intelligent, resourceful, generous and positive.
As a holiday destination Vietnam simply blew my mind!
I wholeheartedly recommend Asia Pioneer as an excellent company to work through if considering a holiday to Vietnam – for an experience of a lifetime!

Our tour guide (Lam) did everything possible to make our trip enjoyable. He thought of everything. Nothing was too much trouble for him. There was 30 in our group, and he took great care of us allI. I will definitely recommend him as a guide to my friends .

Thankyou Lam..xxxxx
