Lizzie at Asia Pioneer Travel organised a very informative and enjoyable tour of Hanoi and Ha Long Bay for our family of 6 people (6 days – 5 nights). After our family group tour, just myself and my wife extended our tour of Vietnam, with Lizzie’s help, to include Hoi An for 5 nights.

All the fine details that made us feel comfortable were well covered in very aspect – this was so important because there were a lot of transfers (Airports – Hotels – Cruise Boat), and making all aspects of our tour to click like clock work.

Lizzie’s selection of hotel accommodation in Hanoi and Hoi An was excellent, and the guides too were excellent. Lizzie made sure that there were English speaking guides for small things like Airport Pick up – this was important because, generally, the drivers did not speak English.

Hanoi City Tour and Evening Foodie Tour was a highlight. Our guide Tommie – we nick named Tom Cruise, did a superb job in explaining the history and culture of Vietnam – this was so important, particularly to our two grand daughters (teenagers) because their learning about other cultures was a major purpose of our tour.

Because of language barriers, touring Vietnam is not easy for Westerners. Having Asia Pioneer Travel attending to all aspects of our tour of Vietnam was the most sensible thing to do.
