Reviews on Our Service
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!!!
An excellent experience with fantastic customer service.
At the last minute, myself, husband and 12 year old daughter decided to visit Vietnam. With only 3-4 weeks to go we found Winston and within 24 hours we had an itinerary! Winston listened to what we wanted and certainly delivered. We didn’t want to tour in a group, but we did want a guide and driver. Our tour was personalised to meet our family’s needs.
We flew into HMC and met Lucy who looked after us with such care as we visited the city then out to the Meekong Delta.
Next we flew to HoiAn and met Cuong, again we were so well cared for. We then flew to Hanoi and met Marcus who was awesome.
All our guides were amazing, knowledgeable, and always included our daughter. It felt like travelling with friends. I will also mention that we felt safe with our drivers and very comfortable in our private mini buses.
Lastly, we did a cruise in Halong Bay and as it was my husband’s birthday, Winston had arranged a surprise celebration on the boat. It’s things like this that you remember forever.
Vietnam is an amazing place to visit, the people are so friendly and we had zero negative experiences.
Visas, internal flights, accommodation and activities were all organised for us, no stress at all.
We will certainly use Asia Pioneer Travel again.
Absolutely wonderful adventure in Vietnam!
My husband and I were looking for an adventure and that is exactly what we got. We were nervous about going to Vietnam as we knew nothing about the country, so we put our trip in the hands of these professionals and they didn’t let us down.
Lizzie, our travel designer, was fabulous, helping us with the planning and making great suggestions as to what would make our trip terrific. We went from the north (Hanoi) to the south (HMCity) with stops to the interior (Pu Luong & Mai Chau), over to Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue, Mekong, Ho Tram and elsewhere. We were on planes, sampans, kayaks, cruise boat, cyclos, motor cycles, vespas and basket boats. 24 days of incredibly well-planned fun! Hotels and lodges were exactly what we wanted and food was amazing (even the meals we helped cook). Drivers/vehicles were excellent and our English-speaking guides really helped us appreciate what we were experiencing. And the whole 24-day trip was very affordable.
Lizzie and AsiaPioneer did not miss one detail! We have shared our excitement with all of our friends and family and would highly recommend this company for anyone interested in travelling to SE Asia.
