Trip of a lifetime !
Davinder and Pancy R
My wife and I had it on our bucket list to take a trip to Vietnam. We did some inquiries and got in touch with Asia Pioneer travel . Winston Dinh was the person who was assigned to us . Let me say he was best to deal with. He was very easy to communicate with and very readily available if we had any questions or concerns. He custom tailored the trip just for the two of us . We started with North Vietnam with Hanoi and Ha Lang bay cruise . For Central Vietnam we visited Hue seeing the Citadel and then moving on to Da Nang and Hoy An . On the way we saw the oyster form. Then we flew to Cambodia and then back to the last limb of our trip seeing the beautiful city of Saigon including a day trip to Mekong delta seeing the floating village and going on boat through its waterways . Wow !! it was every bit to our satisfaction . We had a driver with comfortable vehicle and tour guide at all destinations . There was no glitch anywhere be it being picked up at the airports or going on for the daily excursions .
The best of all was the tour organizer Winston whom we can’t thank enough for organizing the trip and most of all being available and helpful all times and especially at the time of need .
Thank you Asia Pioneer Travels.
Thanks to Asia Pioneer Travels for my fantastic trip to Vietnam and Thailand. They assigned both a driver and local guide expert to meet me at every destination on the itinerary they created for me based on my preferences. They made all lodging and domestic flight reservations as well. They also checked with me throughout the trip to make sure I got to where I wanted to go. As such I saw these beautiful countries never having to worry about my sightseeing schedule.
Vietnam family tour
Using Asia Pioneer travel company for our family’s 2 generation recent Vietnam trip was the best decision we possibly could’ve made. Their well-informed, organized and fun English speaking guides made our trip exceed all our expectations. From the time they met us at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City they filled our days with the culture and hospitality of the Vietnamese people. We experienced Vietnam history, beauty and amazing food. Enjoying both the city and the countryside. Our journey took us from south Vietnam to north. Each step of the journey was filled with amazement. Don’t hesitate to hire them if you are considering a trip to Vietnam.
Excellent private tour arranged
Maris at Asia Pioneer Travel arranged outr2 week tour of Vietnam. From first contact, to a detailed itinerary, seamless arrival to departure she was our absolute go to.
She designed a tour exactly what we wanted. She listened to us and gave choices of hotels & experiences. No large group tours or bus rides. All private guides, clean & comfortable vans & excellent accommodation. I would 100% highly recommend Maris & Asia Pioneer Travel for a trip through Asia.
She even took time out of her personal schedule to meet us in her home city. A great catch up & nice to put a face to the voice over the line.
Thanks again Maris for ensuring we had a wonderful time visiting Vietnam. We will definitely be back!!!
Five star experience!!!
