Very best
I just had the best 2.5 weeks travelling by myself around Vietnam and Cambodia and it was all thanks to the organisation and dedication of Asia Pioneer Travel. Winston was brilliant at curating my itinerary based on what I knew I wanted to do and the things I enjoy doing. It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. I’ve learnt so much about the history and culture of Vietnam and Cambodia thanks to the knowledgeable guides and enjoyed the mix of group tours and solo tour guides while I traveled around. 6 out of 5 stars! 🌟
Amazing holiday in Vietnam

I travelled in a small group of 5. We had an excellent experience with Chloe Tran our trip designer. She answered all our questions and customized a few things for our trip to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. The guides and drivers for each location were all very good. We were well served with cold water at every stop. The hotels were very comfortable and the breakfast buffets were excellent. The meals included on the tour were very good too. We really enjoyed the foodie tour on vespas in Saigon. The scenery throughout this region is so beautiful and we will not forget our experiences with the people there. Oh, we enjoyed the fun time with the elephants in Chiang Mai too!
Our trip to Vietnam
This was one of the most amazing trips we have ever had.
Chloe and her team designed a 14 day tour of Vietnam where we could appreciate major cities and attractions, wonderful accommodation, excellent local guides and personalized preferences making our stay a high quality experience.
Asia pioneer has the local knowledge and expertise to offer a reliable and wonderful holiday to everyone.
Chloe was always attentive and replied promptly and kindly to any request.
Vietnam encompasses history, wonderful people, excellent food, unparalleled contrasts and much more to enjoy.
We highly recommend visiting Vietnam with Asia Pioneers.
