This journey is real. Yours will be your own version of it.
Ten days, the full length of Vietnam, and three flights so that none of it is spent on a bus.
The country changes shape as you go. Hanoi is dense, old and loud, best seen from the back of an open jeep before it is walked. Ha Long Bay is the opposite: a night at anchor among limestone towers, kayaking into a lagoon at seven in the morning while the mist is still on the water. The central coast splits between Hoi An, a fifteenth-century trading port small enough to walk end to end and best after the lanterns come on, and Ba Na Hills above Da Nang, where the cable car climbs through cloud forest to the Golden Bridge.
Then south. Phu Quoc for two days of white sand, coral and a cable car that runs eight kilometres out over the sea. And finally Saigon, where the war is still legible underground at Cu Chi and the Mekong begins an hour and a half from the centre.

Ten days and the whole country, with three short flights doing the distance so the road days stay short. It opens in Hanoi, dense and old, then out east to Ha Long Bay for a night at anchor among 1,969 limestone islands. It flies to the central coast for Hoi An's ancient town and the cable car up to Ba Na Hills, where the Golden Bridge sits in a pair of stone hands above the cloud line. It flies again to Phu Quoc, in the Gulf of Thailand, for two days of beach, reef and the longest over-sea cable car in the world. And it lands in Saigon, with the Cu Chi tunnels one afternoon and the Mekong the next. Five bases, four very different climates, and no day that needs more than a couple of hours in a vehicle.
This 10-day itinerary is built for travelers who want the full picture of Vietnam without spending months planning it. You move from Hanoi's vintage streets to Halong Bay's limestone karsts, down to Da Nang's coastline, across to Phu Quoc's beaches and safari, and finish in the non-stop energy of Ho Chi Minh City. All domestic flights, guided tours, hotels, and airport transfers are handled - you arrive, we take care of the rest.
Written out the way it runs, so nothing is left to your imagination. Read it, note the days you would keep and the ones you would skip, and a local expert reshapes the rest around you.
Late morning | Arrival at Noi Bai International Airport. Your guide meets you and transfers you to the Old Quarter, 45km and 40 to 50 minutes
13:00 | Check-in and time to settle
14:30 | The jeep - An open-air vintage jeep collects you from the hotel and works through the Old Quarter's 36 guild streets, each still named for the trade once worked on it
15:15 | Ba Dinh Square and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, seen from outside. The mausoleum closes Mondays and Fridays, opens mornings only, and shuts for annual maintenance in autumn, so it is not built into a fixed schedule. Meetup Travel arranges the interior visit separately when dates allow
16:15 | Tran Quoc Pagoda - On a promontory in West Lake, founded in the sixth century and the oldest pagoda in Hanoi
17:15 | A stop for a cold drink and local snacks to close the route
18:00 | Return to the hotel. Evening free in the Old Quarter
This covers the journey as written above. Once your version is set, your local expert confirms in writing exactly what sits inside your quote and what does not, before anything is agreed.

Huge thanks to Grace and Lena for organizing our recent family vacation! The overall journey was exceptionally comfortable and turned out to be a truly memorable experience. While no trip is without a few minor hiccups but they handled everything so well.Grace and Lena are fantastic at what they do, and we deeply appreciate all their hard work.

Our choice of Hanoi for our Rotary strategic planning was a great choice. Meetup travel took care of all our needs from the time of inquiry, arrival, meeting, to our tour proper. Henry, Stella and the rest of the team were so helpful. They made sure everything we needed for our meeting was available. Our customized tour was so good, everyone was all smiles. Our trip to Halong Bay was memorable because of a very professional and witty guide named Tiger. Out mid trip changes were likewise accommodated. Surely this experience will make us want to come back to Vietnam.

What truly set her apart was her timely updates, every change, confirmation, and reminder came through promptly, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout the trip. Her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail made all the difference. It’s rare to find someone who communicates so clearly and consistently, especially during travel disruptions. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to her. She is a great asset to your agency.😇 PS. Thank you for the tokens 🥰

I had the best experience travelling to SaPa and Hanoi with the help of MeetUp travel. They were very helpful and friendly I never felt like dealing with strangers.. instead more like family., everything went smoothly and was up to my expectations. I would highly recommend to engage with them whenever you’re planning for a trip to Vietnam. A special thanks to Hazel, Allie, Chloe, Krystal, Stella, and Ted whom have been there throughout my journey.. also not forgetting my local guide SuSu for the best hospitality and more like a friend as well. Thank you to the entire team !!

Meetup Travel is unique. Jasmine talked to me face-to-face online 2 times before we confirm the trip to Sapa. Usually, travel agencies only send the itinerary but Meetup has agents to customize the tour package, talking to you. Jasmine is very friendly and interesting to talk to. She understands the needs and wishes of customers. In the advent of artificial intelligence, Jasmine makes customers feel human and cared for. The limousine van was comfortable with several stops for toilet breaks and food/drinks. Hanoi to Sapa is about 6 to 7 hours away. The Sapa tour packages were well-organized with a local tour guide, Vang. He takes good photographs with his professional camera. Which tour agent provides such a service? You have to pay a lot of money for a professional photographer to go along with you. And not all tour guides can take good photographs for you and your family, patiently and with many poses. We recommend you to have a private tour if photographs are important to you. As we have a toddler, private tours maximize your comfort and enjoyment of the tour. Vang is also kind and attentive to your wishes. Meetup Travel agents also communicate often with us. Chloe also briefed us before the tour to ensure we knew what to do during the tours. And Chloe and her team of agents never fails to make us feel like family in a group chat. We talked often about the tours and raised problems to them. They replied within seconds! Usually, tour agents don’t talk to you after payment, only the tour guide brings you around. Hence, Meetup Travel is a very different kind of travel agencies that you can’t find easily. Just pay a little more and you are provided with 5-star service and attention! You have paid so much money on your tour package. Why not pay a little more to have a perfect holiday experience?

Our journey through Hanoi and Sapa was nothing short of magical, entirely thanks to the exceptional curation by the agency. From the vibrant, soulful streets and rich culinary scene of Hanoi’s Old Quarter to the breathtaking, misty terraced mountains of Sapa, every moment was beautifully balanced between immersive cultural discovery and awe-inspiring adventure. The transition between destinations was effortless, allowing us to truly connect with the local heritage and stunning landscapes. What truly set this experience apart was the Meetup agency's flawless execution and heartfelt hospitality. Every logistical detail—from premium accommodations to seamless transfers—was handled with absolute precision, giving us the luxury of simply being present. Their guides were incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and passionate, transforming a standard vacation into a deeply meaningful, stress-free adventure. We cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to turn their travel dreams into a flawless reality!

Just wanted to say the biggest thank you to Bichann and Chloe as well as the rest of the Meetup Travel team for all the support during our family’s trip to Hanoi and Sapa. Your constant communication and dedication made our trip seemless and resolved all issues that arose as soon as possible. The tour guides and services provided (including transportation to all locations and to and from the airpor) was amazing and so accommodating for our elderly grandparents. 100% recommend to anyone who wants a fun-filled experience with knowledgable agents, that always on hand to answer queries- no matter the time zone.

We recently joined a Hanoi and Sapa tour organized by Meetup Travel, and we had a wonderful experience. The itinerary was well-planned, and everything was organized smoothly from start to finish. Hanoi was vibrant and full of culture, while Sapa offered breathtaking mountain views and a peaceful atmosphere. The tour coordinators @Krystal and @Henry were very helpful, responsive, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the trip. Transportation, accommodations, and scheduled activities were handled efficiently, allowing us to enjoy the experience without worries. Thank you to Meetup Travel for helping us create memorable moments in Vietnam. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable travel experience.

Just happened to see their posts in Instagram while searching for things to do in Vietnam for our trip. I sent a short message to ask about their services and Jeannie reached out and gave us the information and walked us through the tours they’ve provided other travelers. So glad we asked them to help with planning our trip; Krystal was the one who handled the planning of whole trip walking us through the proposed itinerary, asking us for feedback on what we want to experience and the food requirements. We had a great time in Da Nang and Hanoi. The time in Ba Na Hills and the beaches in Da Nang were just amazing; we loved whiling our time drinking our guava juice and eating authentic hot stone pho noodles that tasted absolutely awesome. It was such a breeze as they took care of all booking for the hotels, all activities and the inter-island flight. Spared me the hassle of looking for good hotels and lining in long lines for the activities in Ba Na Hills and Vinwonder. The fast pass they gifted us was such a blessing. Everything were planned so well all we needed to do was just enjoy the experience. Our e-sims were also handled by the team which was also a gift. Krystal walked us through the before and after getting to Vietnam. Everyday was coordinated and planned so well it exceeded our expectations. No issue with transportation and tours as we had our very own tour guides. All in all, we wouldn’t have had such an amazing time in Vietnam without the MeetUp team. Thanks for the great experience! Kudos to Jeannie and Krystal. Thanks so much for the freebies and kind gestures. We’ve made good friends in MeetUp. Til our next trip.

Booked through Meetup for my trip to Tà Xùa from Hà Nội. Hazel and Rosie were incredibly helpful with their prompt replies for every question I had. They would also check in with you while you’re on the way to your destination. Everything was arranged quite well. Itinerary sent to you directly for the trip you’re making. However, there’s a little room for improvement for the team at MeetUp and that’s the coordination between the team and the drivers (at the destination) and the hotel or homestay staff at the destination (for both arrival and departure). All information should be prearranged, collected beforehand and given to the guest at earliest possible time to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding. Other than that, the trip was rewarding experience overall thanks to Hazel, Rosie and the rest of the team! 🤘🏽

If you’re hesitant about booking with them, don’t be. This was hands down one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had, and a huge part of that was because of Stella, Ted, and Kaitlyn. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure our trip was exactly what we wanted. We just returned from an incredible 10-day HONEYMOON trip through Vietnam, including Sapa, Ha Long Bay and our cruise, Ninh Binh, Da Nang, Hoi An and the Lantern Festival. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and organized, allowing us to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The itinerary flowed perfectly and gave us plenty of time to truly appreciate each destination. What impressed us most was how easy they made everything. Airport transfers, fast-track services, eSIM setup, domestic flights, hotel arrangements, tours, and transportation were all handled seamlessly. Anytime we had a question or needed help, they responded quickly. If they didn’t already have an answer, they went out of their way to find one. Traveling in a foreign country can sometimes be stressful, but having a team like this behind you gives you complete peace of mind. They made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and worry-free from start to finish. We couldn’t recommend Stella, Ted, and Kaitlyn more highly and her team who helped them out when they couldn’t respond. If you’re considering a trip to Vietnam, do yourself a favor and book with them. You’ll be glad you did The trip exceeded our expectations in every way, and we made memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for helping make it so special

Was just browsing which country to go for this school holiday and meetup travel popped up on my IG. Didn’t heard of it before from any friends so initially was quite skeptical about it. Especially when we have a group of 17 people with a large deposit amount to make. But travel consultant, Rosie kept finding ways to assure us and proof that they are not scammers. Haha. Story short, my first time to Vietnam planned by her and Krystal was superb. It was really nicely done up and follow up was very responsive too. Most importantly, all of us really enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful and pleasant trip! Will look up for them again when we plan to visit other parts of Vietnam! cheers!

Meetup was incredibly helpful and accommodating during our stay in Vietnam! The drivers, the express passes, and the attractions they took us to were all very special and definitely worth the trip.

TripadvisorThe honest version
Two of the ten days end with a lantern on the Hoai River and a night at anchor on Ha Long Bay. Those are the two evenings people describe afterwards, and both are built into the schedule rather than sold as extras.
A good starting point if you are
Say so early if you
The next step asks for real detail. Your dates, who is travelling, how you like to move, what you would change about this route. It takes a few minutes to fill in, because a local expert writes your itinerary from those answers rather than sending you a file. Nothing is booked or charged at this stage.
