Quick answer

A private tour of Vietnam is a trip planned for you alone: your own guide, a car or van with driver, hotels at the level you choose and dates that suit you. Prices start from US$140 per person per day for two travellers at Comfort 4★ (US$1,400 for 10 days), with 5% off for four and 8% off for six.

Metta Voyage is a licensed Asia DMC headquartered in Hanoi. We plan every day ourselves and look after you on the ground, around the clock.

Vietnam is long and varied: misty limestone bays in the north, imperial Hue and lantern-lit Hoi An in the centre, the Mekong Delta and Saigon in the south. A private tour lets you see it in the order and at the pace that suits you, with a guide who explains what you are looking at and a driver waiting when you are ready.

Every itinerary below is a starting point. We change hotels, add a cooking class, a cycle through the rice fields or a beach at the end, and send a new version until it is right. There is no payment before you have a written quote.

Licensed international tour operator (licence 01-1167/2023/CDLQGVN-GP LHQT), head office in Hanoi. 2,000+ bookings for 10,100+ travellers, rated 4.9 on Tripadvisor.

Prices are per person per day for a private tour with your own guide and vehicle, based on two people sharing a room. Groups of four save 5% and groups of six save 8% against the two-guest price. Groups of eight or more are quoted individually, because vehicle size, rooms and guide numbers change with every group.

Included as a rule: hotels at the level you choose, daily breakfast, a private guide who speaks your language, private air-conditioned transport, entrance fees and the meals written into your itinerary. Not included: international and domestic flights (we quote domestic fares live when we send your proposal), meals outside the programme (budget about US$12–15 per person), tips for guides and drivers, visas and travel insurance.

These are starting prices for 2026–2027. Your exact price is confirmed in your tailor-made quote, usually within 24 hours.

FAQ

Private tour questions

What is a private tour of Vietnam?

A private tour is a trip for you and your companions only: your own guide, your own car or van with driver, hotels chosen for you and dates that suit you. The itinerary is built around your interests and can change day by day.

How much does a private Vietnam tour cost?

From US$140 per person per day for two people at Comfort 4★, US$180 at Superior, US$250 at Deluxe and US$350 at Luxury level. Four travellers save 5% and six save 8%. A 10-day Comfort 4★ trip for two starts at US$1,400 per person; flights are extra.

Is a private tour worth it compared with a group tour?

For most couples and families, yes: you avoid fixed departures and strangers, travel at your pace, and the guide focuses on you. The price per day is higher than many join-in tours, but hotels, guide, transport and entrance fees are all included.

How many days do I need for a private tour of Vietnam?

Ten days covers Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An and Saigon at a comfortable pace; 14 days adds Ninh Binh, Hue and the Mekong Delta or a beach; three weeks lets you add Sapa or Ha Giang, or Cambodia and Laos.

Can I have a guide who speaks my language?

Yes. We arrange private guides in English and in other languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Russian, booked in advance.

How do I book?

Send us your dates, number of travellers and interests. We reply within 24 hours with a day-by-day itinerary and price. When you are happy, a 30% deposit confirms the trip; the balance is due 45 days before arrival.
