Vietnam Travel began in 2008 with a simple frustration: too many trips to Vietnam were being planned from templates that treated Hanoi, Hoi An, and the Mekong Delta as interchangeable stops on a checklist. Our founders — guides themselves — believed a trip built around a traveler's actual pace and interests would always beat a fixed package, even if it took more effort to arrange.
That belief hasn't changed as we've grown. What has changed is our ability to deliver on it — a larger team of regional specialists, a vetted vehicle fleet, and relationships with local partners built over more than a decade.
Milestones
How We Got Here
1
2008
A Small Team in the Old Quarter
Vietnam Travel started as a two-person desk in Hanoi's Old Quarter, arranging trips for backpackers one itinerary at a time.
2
2012
First Multi-Region Itineraries
As demand grew for longer trips connecting north, center, and south, we built our first end-to-end overland itineraries and hired dedicated regional guides.
3
2016
Licensed International Tour Operator
We formalized as a fully licensed international tour operator, expanding our vehicle fleet and formal guide training program.
4
2020
Adapting Through Uncertainty
When international travel paused, we used the time to rebuild our itineraries around smaller groups, more flexible cancellation terms, and stronger local partnerships.
5
2023
Responsible Travel Commitments
We formalized our responsible travel practices — from community-based homestays to a no-captive-wildlife policy across every itinerary.

Today
12,000+ Travelers Later
We're still based in the same city, still tailoring every trip individually, and still run by people who'd rather fix a route in person than manage it from a spreadsheet.
What Guides Us
Our Values
Local First
Every itinerary is designed and delivered by people based in Vietnam, not outsourced to a call center abroad.
Responsible by Default
Community-based stays, fair pay for guides and drivers, and no captive-wildlife activities — see our full Responsible Travel commitments.
Flexible in Practice
Plans change — weather, health, curiosity. We adjust itineraries mid-trip, not just at the booking stage.
Long-Term Relationships
With travelers who return for a second trip, and with local partners we've worked with for over a decade.
