Why Choose Indochina Pioneer

►What they say... (See more comments from some of our past travellers


Mr and Mrs Sherwood from Australia
"My wife and I have had a great many holidays in different parts of the world, but this certainly ranks among the best. Thank you once again for your help and patience in organising it."


Peter and Judy Hunt from UK
My husband and I did a tour to Vietnam and Cambodia with Indochina Pioneer year and had a great time on both. Neither trip was perfect and our neither were our guides. They outdid themselves with some things and were a bit lax on others so totally human. Overall, the positive far outweighed any negatives although a couple of times were annoying we were all over it in a very short time. Everyone was great. Hotels were lovely, good mix of means of transport, most breakfasts (surprise, surprise) turned out to be included – bonus. Thank you so much for your great job!
