At around 8:00, depart Ho Chi Minh City for a short drive to My Tho. Upon arrival, meet your local guide and board a motorboat to journey along the mighty Mekong River towards Con Qui Islet. Unlike many of the more tourist-heavy Mekong islands, Con Qui offers a tranquil and authentic experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the true essence of rural Mekong life. Hop on a bicycle and enjoy a leisurely ride through the lush, unspoiled island, making frequent stops for photos and observing the daily lives of the local villagers.

Next, take a small boat as you are gently rowed along the mangrove-lined Vam Xep Canal, where you’ll pass by traditional village houses. Disembark at the “Coconut Artisan” village, where you can savor honeyed tea while exploring workshops where skilled artisans create a variety of handcrafted coconut husk and fiber products.

Then, embark on a sampan ride along the Vam Chua Canal, drifting peacefully through hidden waterways surrounded by a rich variety of tropical plants. The serene, rural atmosphere offers a perfect escape from the bustling energy of Saigon, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Afterward, drive to Ben Tre, a charming and quiet town nestled in the heart of the Mekong Delta. Check into your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. Take a stroll along the riverbank and watch the sunset over the Mekong.

Out of body experience in Vietnam 👌👌👌

I came across Asia Pioneer Travel on Google search but I was very skeptical at first since the travel agency is outside my country SA, worried about the flow of communication. I am so glad I took a chance with them because our communication with Agent Adam has been seamless and easy flowing since day 1. I didn’t know specifically which places I wanted to visit in Vietnam but Adam tailor made my itinerary to the tee, I’ve witnessed most of Vietnam’s attractions and adventures. No preparations needed to be done on our side as Adam prepared everything from the English speaking guides, shuttle services to and from airports, domestic flights, visas even the cultural food we had to experience. Vietnam is such a beautiful country, rich with history, gorgeous architectural structures, beautiful people and amazing first time experiences,BANA Hills it’s a must see. Thank you so much Asia Pioneer Travel and loads of appreciation to you Adam…Till next time👌👌👌

Asia Pioneer in Indo China

We had a wonderful experience in Indo China with Asia Pioneer. It was partly group an partly private. Our guides were exceptional ,especially the private ones. We have used them before and chose to use them again, good choice. Our tour advisor Cherry took extremely good car of us to make sure everything was seamless. Our tours and food were great, saw and tasted so much. The hotels were ok and in hindsight we should have gone 4star instead of 3, but the were all more than adequate. All in all a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Elly from Asia Pioneer Travel shows us the culture, the beauty and the history of Vietnam and Cambodia.

From start to finish, the whole process of arranging our tour, booking, arrival and travelling was nothing other than exceptionally organized and communicated from Elly of Asia Pioneer.
Elly was very knowledgeable, hardworking always happy to please us.
After my street accident she helped me out with ambulance, hospital, communicating with my family back in USA and finally arranging my flight to Washington DC. Elly was far and beyond her responsibilities. I would highly recommend her and Asian Pioneer Travel.

Unbelievable experience in wonderful Vietnam

We chose Asia Pioneer based on Trip Advisor reviews, we were nervous using a local Vietnam company rather than a UK based one, however there was no need to be.

From start to finish, the whole process of tailoring our tour, booking, arrival and travelling was nothing other than exceptionally organised and communicated from Cherry of Asia Pioneer.

Vietnam has never really been on our radar, but what a place! Everything was memorable from the friendliness of everyone we met, the enthusiasm and knowledge of our guide, and the food is amazing.

We cannot recommend Cherry and the team at Asia Pioneer enough. The detailed itinerary Cherry put together went seamless with all guides and transfers waiting for us on time. There was a time when due to a delayed flight, we had missed the transfer to our hotel via their shuttle and within minutes Cherry had organised our transport after a couple of texts to her direct.

Asia Pioneer organised top hotels, great local guides and good transfers as we toured all of Vietnam. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use Asia Pioneer again.

Thanks for making this a once in a lifetime experience.

Brett, Dawn, Graeme and Jules.
