I had never heard of this company, but they popped up in a Google search when I was looking for a solo Laos and Cambodia touring trip. I’m always a little sceptical about companies I haven’t heard of, but as they had such high reviews, I contacted them – and that was the best decision I made about the holiday.

I’ve used a lot of travel companies over the years, but this one is A* on all accounts. Cherry responded to my request, and I then dealt with her from start to finish, so she understood what I wanted out of the holiday, the types of hotels I liked and so on. It makes a huge difference dealing with just one person and not being passed from pillar to post.

After a few emails fine tuning the holiday, I had the perfect trip designed.

Cherry kept in touch leading up to the holiday, checking I had visas for example, and then during the trip WhatsApped me a couple of times to check everything was going well. It was a complex trip with 2 countries, several towns and multiple modes of transport, yet at each place there was someone to welcome me. The whole trip was as smooth as clockwork – very impressed.

Even when 2 days before I arrived in Phnom Penh and I wanted to slightly modify my tour itinerary – a quick WhatsApp message to Cherry – and it was done within minutes.

In summary, this travel company is exceptional, and Cherry extremely efficient and professional. If I travel to Asia again, I’d go straight to Asia Pioneer Travel, because I know that every little detail would be perfect. Thank you Asia Pioneer and especially thanks to Cherry!
