► Why Choose Indochina Pioneer

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

Julie Robert from Scotland
Our trip to Vietnam was a last minute affair in the spring of 2009 We found Indochina Pioneer on Internet, and as soon as we received a rapid and detailed response from Ryan Chen, we knew we were dealing with a professional travel agency based in Hanoi, Vietnam. As soon as we arrived in the first city where we had their local guide and driver, we knew that we were right! We had only the guides, drivers, cars, meals and entrance fees to museum, shows, etc, with Indochina Pioneer. We highly recommend not only these services, but travelers should book the entire trip with Indochina Pioneer, that is all domestic flights, tour excursions such as Halong Bay, hotels, meals, as well as the local guides and transportation. We are a couple, but this agency will do wonders for couples, small groups of friends or larger groups as well. They can customize anything. Not only that, once you are in Vietnam, their guides and drivers are always ready and capable to improvise and add visits and excursions, modify what has been agreed upon. An excellent combination of rigorously following the itinerary and flexibility when this is called for or the opportunity arises. The only surprises are good ones, great suggestions for visits, spontaneous stops along the road, concerts in the city with seats right up front even if you decide on the last minute to attend. The guides were all very professional, knowledgeable, polite and proud to show you their people and country. You will feel in security with the excellent drivers and first class cars or vans, whether you are in the very hectic traffic of Hanoi or on small countryside roads.
