Why a local house

The same five-star hotels. Without the layers in between.

Many luxury tours of Vietnam are sold by agencies abroad and operated by a local company like ours. Booking with us directly means the same hotels, cruises and private guides, with one team responsible for every detail and no mark-up added along the way.

Your travel designer lives in Vietnam, knows the hotels room by room and is the person you message while you travel. Proposals arrive within 24 hours, and every element can be changed until it feels exactly right.

Where you stay

Two ways to stay, on every journey

Choose Luxury for outstanding five-star and boutique hotels, or Iconic for the legendary addresses. Your travel designer can mix the two, city by city.

Updated October 2026 · Reviewed by Lily Dam, travel designer

How much does a private luxury tour of Vietnam cost?

Our signature journeys start from US$3,166 per person with Luxury hotels and from US$3,908 per person with Iconic hotels, based on two travelling, international flights not included. The final price depends on your dates, length and hotel choices; your travel designer sends an exact quote within 24 hours.

When is the best time to go?

Vietnam is a year-round destination, but its regions differ: the north is best from October to April, the central coast from February to August, and the south from December to April. February to April is the sweet spot for a north-to-south journey. We plan around the weather for your dates.

Do I need a visa?

Citizens of the UK and several European countries can visit visa-free for up to 45 days. Citizens of the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most other countries apply online for an e-visa (up to 90 days). We send you clear instructions after booking.

Can we mix Luxury and Iconic hotels?

Yes. Many guests choose an iconic address in Hanoi or Hoi An and a boutique hotel elsewhere. Your travel designer will suggest the best combination for your budget.

Is everything private?

Yes. Your guide, driver, boats and experiences are private to your party. Cruises on Lan Ha Bay are in your own suite; a full private charter is available on request.

What is included?

Hotels with breakfast, private car and driver, private English-speaking guides on touring days, domestic flights, experiences and entrance fees in the programme, and 24/7 support. International flights, visas, insurance and personal expenses are not included.

How do we book and pay?

A 30% deposit confirms your journey; the balance is due 30 days before you arrive.

Is the Ha Long Bay seaplane still available?

Scenic seaplane flights over Ha Long Bay were suspended in April 2026. We arrange the bay by private junk or luxury cruise instead.
