Reviews on Our Service

We are committed to giving our customers unforgettable experiences in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and beyond, not just something staged for tourists. Read reviews written by our customers about their experiences in Indochina after they have returned home. These include the ratings and comments on attractions, guides, activities, hotels and food.

in love with Vietnam

We were 2 families with kids from 8 to 19 years old. The challenge was to satify the different expectations: culture, nature, sport, sightseeings, adventures, food, rest, shopping, confort, into the wild…. and on top of it: relax parenthood (it means, none of us had to organize, think, …. just enjoy the moment). And it was a 100% success. All the kids had fun, the parents could relax and enjoy. We had many activities, really different from one to another, we were surprised by the quality of the guides, the quality of our stays, the quality of the activities. We recommand APT for sure, and on top of it, we recommand to go to Vietnam once in your life… and not only for the amazing food.

Cannot recommend these guys enough

Winston organised a tour of Vietnam and Cambodia for us and it was fabulous! He tailored the trip to cover everything we wanted to do and was so helpful with all our questions leading up to the trip. We were looked after so well, being met off of each flight by our lovely guides who were excellent. Winston was constantly in touch with us to ensure everything went smoothly and it was a pleasure to meet him in Hanoi.

Amazing first solo trip experience

I had the most amazing trip I could ever hope for with the help of Asia Pioneer Travel – Mr. Adam.

Every day was extremely smooth, exciting and memorable.

Each of the guides, drivers and tours were better than expected and I thank them for the same. Adam coordinated everything very smoothly and perfectly and I couldn’t imagine anything better!

A well taken care trip from start to finish.

The trip was fantastic. Well organised by Winston. He answered all our quires along the way from our booking 5 months before the trip. We made changes and he accommodated the changes.
5+ STARS to him and the company.
