Reviews on Our Service
We are committed to giving our customers unforgettable experiences in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and beyond, not just something staged for tourists. Read reviews written by our customers about their experiences in Indochina after they have returned home. These include the ratings and comments on attractions, guides, activities, hotels and food.
Great trip experience in Vietnam and Cambodia
We travelled to Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa, HCM (Saigon) and Mekong Delta) and Cambodia (Siem Reap) and used Lizzie Pham from Asia Pioneer Travel to book all the transfers, guides and hotels. We couldn’t be happier with the travel arrangements. Lizzie and Elly were always there to check on how things were going and if something was brought to their notice, they would get it rectified immediately.
The highlights of our trip were the temple visits in Angkor Wat (Guide Ratnak was fantastic) and the homestay in the Mekong delta.
Would recommend Lizzie and Asia Pioneer Travel without reservation.
Vietnam
We recently returned from a 12-day trip to Vietnam that was organized by Asia Pioneer Travel. Cherry was fantastic; she organized and communicated everything perfectly. Would recommend them without reservation.
Amazing Holiday trip to Vietnam and Cambodia
Cherry crafted a wonderful trip for my family of 4 with private guides and drivers in several cities between Vietnam and Cambodia to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Day. Our entire trip was full of interesting information and great food! Our guides were great, all with a wealth of knowledge regarding the sites they took us to and we were even able to take a few side trips off the beaten path to see the real Vietnam and Cambodia, not just the touristy areas. Overall we had an excellent trip and would definitely use Asia Pioneer Travel to plan future holidays.
SE Asia trip with Asia Pioneer Travel
We went from 12/18-24 to 1/3/25 on the SE Asia natural and food discovery tour. My wife and I decided to go on this trip in November without any prior knowledge of this company and very little in the countries we would visit. Mr Winston and Asia Pioneer Travel could not have been nicer to us. They delivered everything they promised in their trip. I was a bit concerned about this trip as we had been to India before and the sites and food are more exotic than most places. However, the guides were great and we got picked up and dropped off and had a guide with us to make the many activities we had go smoothly. The guides were happy to help is with whatever we needed including carrying lots of ice, cold bottles water for us.
We have travelled overseas extensively and this is one of the most action packed and memorable trips we have had.
At our request, this travel company switched part of our visit from Phuket, Thailand to Angkor Wat, Cambodia (which is the biggest religious site in the world and has some awesome temples) and they added a water puppet show (so fun) in Hanoi for us. We enjoyed the itinerary. We saw many different sites and tried many types of food on the food tours. We couldn’t have been happier on this trip. We highly recommend them. Great trip! Open communication all the way.
