PRIVATE VIETNAM TOUR GUIDE: HOW WE PLAN YOUR TOUR.

PLANNING A VIETNAM TOUR WITH YOUR PRIVATE VIETNAM TOUR GUIDE

Buddha - My Tho - Mekong Delta

Thank you for your interest in taking a private Vietnam Tour. I know you have several choices when you are making plans to take a Vietnam land tour. My Private Vietnam Tour Guide services are a great alternative to:

Getting on a big tour bus with 20-40 other tourists and spending a day or two feeling that you are being herded around like a herd of cattle. You’ll spend your day (s) riding with people you don’t know, end up waiting for the slowest member of the group, listening to unfounded complaints of other people in the group, and visiting places your have no interest in. You might save some money, but you’ll feel like you spent a lot more.

Or you could arrange a private tour with a large tour company and spend a lot more money. Big tour companies have a lot of expenses.

You arrange your private tour directly with me. We plan the tour together based on your interests, time and budget. Much of your tour can be planned in advance of arrival in Vietnam (online & telephone if necessary), but the biggest advantage is that we can make last minute arrangements or changes to your tour. A 50% deposit for my guide services will be sufficient to allow for planning for any number of days you wish to use my tour guide service while you travel in Vietnam.

Most of tour needs such as hotels, meals, entry fees, etc. will be your responsibility as the tour progresses. No advance fees are normally required except for transportation, such a car or van with driver; and deposit for my services. Most agencies require 24 hour notice for a refund. Some cancellations/changes such as vehicle rental require 24 hour notice before the tour is scheduled to begin.
