100% worth everything!
We just returned from a 10 day trip through Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Our agent Lizzie did a fantastic job making our itinerary perfect for our family (2 adults and 2 children 7/9). Having the opportunity to travel without any major worries was amazing. Knowing that I had guides and drivers readily available during my trip and not being put on the spot for last minute things made this trip even better. Being 100% confident in my schedule made the packing and prepping so much easier for me as a mother. I knew exactly what my kids would need and that I wouldn’t be put in a position to find random things I might need.
Lizzie was super accommodating whenever I would reach out and try to change anything on our itinerary. Every time I mentioned that my kids might not enjoy something she was quick to offer an even better option. Everything she did was for our comfort. We were even able to meet other team members in person during our trip and it made it so special for us. I highly recommend using Asia pioneer travel for your trips.
Fantastic Vacation!
Amazing vacation! Elly did a fantastic job tailoring the trip to our specific requests and needs. No matter how many tweaks, she always addressed the changes with a smile, doing everything possible to make this an enjoyable vacation for our little group.
The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and always punctual. The daily activities were varied and gave us a well-rounded view of Vietnam and Cambodia during our limited time. I would not hesitate to recommend Elly and her team at Asia Pioneer Travel and would not hesitate to call on Elly for future vacations to the area.
