Top reasons to use private tours in Vietnam

Flexibility

A private tour means you travel privately with a tour guide and driver so you will have the benefit of flexibility. If you want to spend some extra time at your interested places or change one activity for another, or just stopping for a cold drink in a long drive between destinations, it is so easy to execute in a private tour. When you are traveling in a large joining group tour, you need to stick to a fixed itinerary which may not always suit your interest. Moreover, you may need to ask dozens of other people when you need a stop on the way. That sounds so tiresome!

Tailor-made to your taste

When using private or customized tours in Vietnam, the travel consultant or local tour operator will prepare a customized tour plan totally based on your preference and interest. You are the one who choose where to go, what to do and when to start or finish. The trip plan is designed around your needs with extra advice and recommendation from the local expert/travel consultant to implement the tour in the most logical way.

Personalized service

In a large group tour, the tour guide belongs to everyone in the group so sometimes you may have no time to ask questions or easily miss an interesting explanation from him. When traveling in a private tour, your personal tour guide was informed by the travel consultant about your need and interest. He will focus on these things to make sure you have the most of each attraction. That is quite convenient when you travel with the elderly and children.

Off-the-beaten-track experience

Many tourists are seeking for the real off-the-beaten-track experience when traveling to Vietnam. With a large group tour, it can be quite difficult to have that kind of experience properly. For example, hiking to a remote village with a large group of travelers could cause environmental or ethical impact on the local communities. On the other hand, traveling as a small private tour can make this off-the-beat-track experience obtainable with minimal impact. The local tour guide can take small private group access to places that other travelers might not have the opportunity to visit.

Get into the local life

Besides visiting well-known attractions, getting to know the local life and its people is a top thing of many travelers’ wish list. Traveling as a large group tour, you hardly get into the local life while traveling with dozens of other people even though you can have an excellent local guide. On the contrary, traveling private tours in Vietnam ensure that wish become a reality. Your local tour guide can easily get you into the local neighborhood, interact with local people and truly immerse yourself into the local life.

Pricing

Obviously, pricing is one of the main concerns when planning your holidays as we all want good value for the money we spent. One thing to be true here: Good quality private tours in Vietnam aren’t cheap! But do they have to be expensive? The answer is No. Pricing of large group tours are seemingly cheaper at first, but you have to look at the detailed itinerary to compare and find out whether they are truly cheaper. Traveling in a large group tour, you are often brought to shopping stops on the way which entail extra expenses and less sightseeing time. It means you might spend more than the original pricing of the tour.

On the other hand, private tours or customized tours in Vietnam are not necessary to be expensive if you know how to organize them right. You can team up with some friends to share the cost of a Vietnam private tour because many good travel agencies provide the per-person pricing, so the more the merrier. That type of pricing can be quite affordable with a group of fellow travelers. Another way to get better pricing for a customized tour in Vietnam is traveling during the low season if your working schedule is flexible. There are a lot of promotions offered by travel agencies during low season (May – August) to increase sale. You can shop around and find the best deals.
