Private Vietnam tour ideas, routes & sample itineraries
Private tours in Vietnam allow us to custom build the perfect trip for you. Whether you are looking for a fully planned itinerary for 10 days, 3 weeks, or 1 month combining Vietnam with Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand.
How our private Vietnam tours work
Built around your itinerary
We start with your dates, interests, and budget, not a pre-set package. Routes are built stop by stop, from Hanoi’s Old Quarter to the Mekong Delta, with your pace and priorities guiding every decision.
Local expertise since 2013
Our guides and planners are based in Vietnam, not abroad. They know seasonal road conditions in Ha Giang, the best time to visit Hoi An’s markets, and which Halong Bay routes avoid the busiest cruise traffic.
Direct pricing, no middlemen
We are a Vietnam-based operator. You pay us directly for your private tour — no international booking agents, no third-party commissions, no markup added between you and the ground team.

From a couple of days around the north Vietnam to relaxed beach time, enjoy a smooth trip with private support, and best price deal, 100%.
Private tours across Vietnam & Southeast Asia
Private tours make it straightforward to enjoy must-see sights and lesser-known places that you won’t be able to reach out on your own. All our itineraries begin where you land, pairing landmark sites and riverside highlights with downtime for markets, street food and everyday city life, before continuing to nature, historic and a cruise night in Halong Bay. Explore our destinations across south-east Asia.
Vietnam private tours
Vietnam stretches 1,650 km from Hanoi in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south. Our private Vietnam tours cover the full route or focus on specific regions — Ha Giang’s mountain loop, Halong Bay cruises, Hue’s imperial citadel, Hoi An’s UNESCO streets, and the floating markets of Can Tho. Every trip runs on your schedule with a dedicated private guide.
Cambodia private tours
Cambodia’s Angkor Archaeological Park covers 401 acres and holds over 1,000 temple structures built by the Khmer Empire between the 9th and 15th centuries. Our private Cambodia tours combine Angkor with Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace and Tuol Sleng Museum, floating villages on Tonlé Sap Lake, and the quieter beaches of Kep and Koh Rong.
Thailand private tours
Thailand’s most-visited private tour routes run from Bangkok’s Grand Palace and Wat Pho through Chiang Mai’s temple circuit and hill tribe villages in the north, down to the limestone islands of Krabi and the Andaman coast in the south. All tours are private, with dedicated guides and drivers arranged for each leg of the journey.
Laos private tours
Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage town with over 30 active temples and a daily alms ceremony at dawn. Our private Laos tours cover northern Laos from Luang Prabang through Vang Vieng’s karst valley, down to Vientiane on the Mekong. Laos works well as a standalone trip or combined with Vietnam or Cambodia on a multi-country itinerary.
Private & Custom tour experiences
Since 2013, we have planned private tours for families with young children, solo travelers, honeymoon couples, seniors, and small adventure groups of up to 12 people.
Let our local team help you plan a one-of-a-kind vacation, perfectly customized just for you!
FAQ: Vietnam private tours & Southeast Asia travel
What is the best way to travel Vietnam on a private tour?
For distances over 700 km — Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, for example — domestic flights are the most practical option and cost USD 40 to 80 one way booked in advance. For shorter legs like Hanoi to Ninh Binh (90 km) or Hoi An to Hue (120 km), a private car with a driver is standard on our tours. The overnight train between Hanoi and Da Nang is also a popular add-on for travelers who prefer the scenic route. All transfers on our private Vietnam tours are arranged in advance and included in your itinerary.
Which Southeast Asia country should I visit first?
For first-time visitors to Southeast Asia, Vietnam or Thailand are the most practical starting points. Both have well-connected international airports — Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Bangkok all receive direct long-haul flights from Europe, Australia, and the US. Vietnam pairs naturally with Cambodia by road or short-haul flight, and with Laos by road from the north. A common two-week multi-country route starts in Hanoi, continues to Luang Prabang in Laos, and finishes in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
What are the best months to travel to Southeast Asia?
November to April is the best period across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Temperatures stay between 25°C and 32°C, rainfall is low, and road conditions in rural areas are reliable. December and January bring cultural festivals including Vietnamese New Year preparations, Christmas markets in Ho Chi Minh City, and the temple festivals of Luang Prabang. Lao New Year falls in mid-April and is one of the most active times to visit Laos.

Can I book a private Vietnam tour for my honeymoon?
Yes. Our Vietnam honeymoon tours typically combine Hanoi, a Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise, Hoi An for the old town and beach, and a resort stay in Da Nang, Phu Quoc, or Con Dao. We arrange private dining experiences, spa treatments, and room upgrades at each stop. Use our Vietnam trip planner to share your dates and we will put together a detailed honeymoon itinerary.
How long are your private Vietnam tours?
Our most popular private Vietnam tours run 10 to 14 days, which is enough time to travel from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City with stops in between. Shorter 5 to 7-day tours focus on a single region — northern Vietnam or the central coast. Trips of 18 to 21 days allow a full Vietnam itinerary combined with Cambodia or Laos. Browse our Vietnam tour packages for specific route options.
Can I book a private tour combining Vietnam and Cambodia?
Yes. Vietnam and Cambodia multi-country tours are among our most requested itineraries. The most common route runs Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, and then a short flight to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in Cambodia — typically 14 to 16 days. We also plan three-country tours adding Luang Prabang in Laos. A single point of contact manages the full trip from start to finish.

What is the best private tour itinerary in Vietnam?
For first-time visitors, the north-to-south route covers the most ground in 10 to 12 days. A standard sequence runs: Hanoi Old Quarter and Temple of Literature, Halong Bay overnight cruise, Hue Imperial Citadel and royal tombs, Hoi An Ancient Town, and Ho Chi Minh City with a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels or Mekong Delta. Travelers with more time add Sapa’s rice terraces in the north or Phu Quoc island in the south. Learn more about our 12-day Vietnam itinerary for first-timers.
How much does a private tour in Vietnam cost?
Private Vietnam tours start from USD 100 per person per day for a group of two, including 3-star accommodation with breakfast, a private English-speaking guide, and all ground transport. 4-star tours run USD 150 to 200 per person per day. 5-star packages with luxury cruises and boutique hotels start from USD 250 per person per day. Final cost depends on group size, tour duration, hotel category, and domestic flights. Contact us for a quote based on your specific dates and preferences.
Do I need a visa to visit Vietnam?
Most nationalities need a visa to enter Vietnam. Citizens of many European countries — including Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Spain — can enter visa-free for 45 days. Australian, Canadian, and American travelers currently require an e-Visa, which costs USD 25 and is processed online in 3 business days at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. We provide visa guidance during itinerary planning and can advise based on your passport.

Are your private Vietnam tours suitable for families with children?
Yes. Our private Vietnam family tours adjust the daily pace to suit children of different ages. Younger children do well with shorter driving days, interactive experiences like cooking classes and lantern making in Hoi An, and boat trips on Halong Bay. Teenagers generally do well with the full north-to-south itinerary. Your private guide adapts each day based on the group’s energy and interests, and accommodation is confirmed as family-friendly before departure.
What's included in your private Vietnam tour packages?
All our private Vietnam tour packages include a private English-speaking guide, all ground transfers and transportation, accommodation with daily breakfast, entrance fees to attractions listed in the itinerary, and custom itinerary planning with 24-hour support during your trip. International flights, travel insurance, personal expenses, and most lunches and dinners are not included unless specified. A full inclusions list is provided with every custom quote.
