Reviews on Our Service
A faultless excursion with Asia Pioneer Tours
We experienced Vietnam for the first time in a trip organised by Winston Dinh. With 4 diverse characters each with their own pecadillos Winston surpassed all reasonable expectations. From the 1st night at the Grand Peridot to our last night in the Majestic I could not fault any of his choices in either locations or the people who escorted us. I can only highly commend and recommend Winstons efforts on our behalf and wish hum and the team at Asia Pioneer Tours all the best. We will now return at some point in the near future.

Asia; Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore
We had a wonderful experience. Gina, from Asia Pioner Travel did an excellent job, she made a perfect schedule, everything was so well organized, all the places we visited were spectacular, all the guides she assigned were very kind, and knew the places perfectly. The whole logistic was very well done: flights, transportation, hotels, food. Gina gave it a good follow up since the first time we got in touch. She organized the whole trip based on our needs and favorite places to visit. We really enjoyed the trip and are very thankful to her and the company.
Vietnam North to South in 15 days
We booked a 15-day trip to Vietnam in May 2025, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. From our very first What’s App planning call to the moment we arrived back home, everything was smooth and stress-free — all thanks to Cherry Duong at Asia Pioneer Travel. She handled every detail with care and professionalism, making the whole process seamless. We met with Cheery along the way and she was always available on What’s App throughout the trip.
Cherry was attentive, flexible, and really took the time to understand what we wanted from our trip. The places she recommended and the tours she arranged were perfectly tailored to our interests. We travelled from north to south without a single hiccup — everything was taken care of, from airport transfers and domestic flights to accommodations. All we had to do was arrive and enjoy.
We experienced things we never would have thought to book ourselves — from vibrant street food tours and boat rides along the Mekong Delta to seaplanes flights over Halong Bay and cycling through villages and rice paddies in Hoi An. Having local guides who were warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable brought the culture to life in such a meaningful way.
Trying to explore a new country in a short timeframe can be overwhelming, but working with Asia Pioneer Travel allowed us to experience so much more than we imagined. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get the most out of their travel experience.
