This was my fifth time visiting Vietnam and first time in Laos. Once again I travelled with Asia Pioneer after using them two years ago while visiting Vietnam and Cambodia. Previously we had employed European travel companies but going local is best – and great value. Excellent hotels, guides, modern and comfortable transport. Mr Lam, the dynamic travel director, arranged an excellent tour. I have recommended this company to my extended family and to friends. They all reported high satisfaction with their respective tours. I confidently continue to recommend this company for high standards and excellent value.
