I’ve toured with Asia Pioneer twice, in 2011 and 2014. My experience has been one of efficiency and friendliness. Our organiser, Mr Lam, remained in contact with us for the length of the holiday to check that everything was always running smoothly. We had great flexibility in coordinating any late changes to suit. The tour guides were fantastic, punctual, friendly and had a great sense of humour. We had a nice balance of scheduled tours as well as free, down time for relaxation. Four star hotels were a great standard and not expensive. Our personalized tour took us to some smaller, off the track, places that immersed us in the “soul” of Vietnam. My personal highlight was the cooking class in Hoi An from the market to table at Gioan Cookery. I highly recommend Asia Pioneer and in particular, Mr Lam, for anyone considering visiting Vietnam or the bordering countries. They are based in Vietnam, they know Vietnam and their cost is reflective. Thanks once again… 🙂
