Great planning by Meetup Travel for a couple getaway

We reached out to Meetup Travel after seeing many good reviews on Tik Tok about their itinerary planning for Phu Quoc. We first spoke to Miss Nora on the draft plan. After my wife and I decided to engage their service, a chat group in whatsapp was created and few more meetup Travel staff was added into the group. We had a 5 days 4 nights itinerary planned by the team. The team will adjust the plan according our requirements. They will also provide their professional opinion on the smooth flow of the visits to the places of attraction. During our stay in Phu Quoc, the team consist of Nora, Kim, Krystal, Stella, Hazel and Chloe will consistently in touch with us to ensure that we are enjoying ourselves. They are also responsive when we got doubt. Generally, we are able to resolve any issues within 1 or 2 hours. We are recommending Meetup Travel if you want to enjoy good customers care in Vietnam. Will engage their service for future Vietnam trip.

100/10 Experience! Highly Recommend Meetup Travel! 🇻🇳❤️

I booked a Ha Long Bay cruise tour for my family through Meetup Travel, and honestly, it was a 100/10 experience! I absolutely loved how well they communicated with me and helped find the best options to fit my needs. Everyone was so professional, thoughtful, and accommodating! I had the chance to meet Xeon in person, and he was such a sweetheart! 🥹 He’s enthusiastic, friendly, patient, and incredibly professional. He even took the time to help us plan our overall trip around Vietnam, despite the fact that I only booked the cruise through them and not the entire tour. He was always happy to help and never made me feel like I was asking for too much. I also had Hazel supporting me throughout the process. Both Xeon and Hazel checked in from time to time to make sure the paperwork went smoothly and that everything was going well with my family and our trip. I genuinely appreciate how much they care. You can really tell that they love what they do and truly want their customers to have the best experience possible. ❤️ The cruise itself was amazing, and I would absolutely love to come back! Everything was well organized, the staff were friendly and professional, and there was even nighttime entertainment, including a traditional clothing show and karaoke. And the food? SO GOOD! 🤣 Even now, my mom is still wondering how they managed to make the shrimp taste THAT good! I would definitely recommend Meetup Travel to foreign tourists visiting Vietnam. Traveling in a new country can sometimes be stressful, especially if you don’t speak Vietnamese, but having a team like this makes such a huge difference. They help take away so much of the stress and make you feel cared for throughout the journey. A huge thank-you to Xeon, Hazel, and the entire team for making this such a memorable experience for my family. You made our trip extra special, and we’re so grateful! If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam, definitely give Meetup Travel a try. You won’t regret it! 🥰✨

Meetup is simply the BEST

WOWWWWWWW! What a phenomenal team to have helped me with my trip to Vietnam! I could not have asked for better support, service, and smooth planning than the team at Meetup! Michelle and Stella were on the ball from the get go! I came across this team on social media and reached out to them for help planning my holiday as a solo traveller for my first ever visit … this was less than a week before I was due to depart from South Africa to Vietnam .. So imagine my surprise when I got a response from Michelle within minutes on WhatsApp (on her off day at the hair basin ) replying ferociously that the support team would be in contact with me soon …. and boy were they! This is the first time I decided to use a travel agent abroad for hotel accommodation suggestions and tours/outing suggestions , shuttle transfers to and from the airports etc . And I am so glad I did ! It just puts your mind at ease that everything is taken care of .. Even when I needed to change a flight last minute, they were online at nearly midnight assisting me ! Michelle and Stella and all the ladies in their office have delivered the BEST service with constant updates on WhatsApp and sweet messages like tonight telling me I must sleep tight for my early flight to Thailand tomorrow x I even got to meet Michelle and Stella for coffee in Hanoi which made this whole experience even better by getting to meet the kind and beautiful people behind the paperwork ! Keep up the great service all of you at Meetup! Chloe, Kim, Krystal , Hazel Michelle and Stella … your company can be very proud of you! Sorry if I missed any but you’re all amazing xx Honestly, don’t even think twice if you’re looking for a local agency to help you plan every little detail for your holiday to Vietnam , as you won’t get better than Meetup and its passionate staff members! Till next time! God bless xxx

An Amazing 7 Day trip in Vietnam.

Had the most amazing 7 day trip in Vietnam all arranged by the Meet Up Team. From the minute we stepped off the plane in Hanoi to the minute we hopped on our plane in Saigon to depart to our next destination the Meet Up Team was there EVERY step of the way, day or night. Everything was flawless and the tours were great!! Grace created the perfect itinerary for us and her team lead by Hazel made it completely flawless. I didn’t have to worry about anything, except to just enjoy ourselves. Thank you Meet Up Team! We will definitely be back and use Meet Up again.

Meetup Travel the best! 💕

To the meetup travel team assigned to my family who made our first time in Vietnam so great, so convenient, so awesome and so memorable - THANK YOU SO MUCH! ♥️ I honestly have no complaints or any cons on this travel agency and just all pros and praises!! I was hesistant at first because I literally just found them on my facebook feed haha but I triple checked and they are legit! Plus plus points because they respond so so fast and almost 24/7 available to communicate with! Imagine from inquiring & planning last MARCH 2026 up to to our actual tour days this OCTOBER 17-22 2026 - their customer service, very fast response, their guidance and whole day & night availability to talk to was the best thing with this travel agency. For context, we are a group of 2 SENIORS, 2 adults and 2 TODDLERS(age 4&3) so just imagine how hard that could have been if we did not go with this travel agency. We opted for the VIP/PRIVATE TOUR for 6 days to HANOI-SAPA-DANANG-HOI AN. Our package if you think much of it was on the kinda “expensive” side but it was so so worth it! You get what you pay for - we realized it’s not expensive at all but it is quality all the way and we are so happy and grateful we came across Meetup Travel ♥️ The inquiry, quotation and planning stage with Ms. Allie as starter already made me feel comfortable that we have the right travel agency. She noted all of my requests like electric wheelchair for my senior dad, my daughter’s upcoming birthday, my request of no free time/day on our own, etc. With these, she curated the best itinerary for us while still working alongside with me all the time. She booked accessible and quality hotels with great rooms & views in Hanoi, Sapa and Danang. A week before our flight, they created a group chat for reminders and for easier everyday communication with the whole team assigned to us. There I met Chloe(hi sis you’re the best! haha), Kim, Stella, Hazel & Krystal. As usual they are all very responsive any time of the day(& night lol) and they always remind us of the itinerary for the next day and give details of drivers and tour guides the night before. That alone speaks how caring they are so we’ll have a hassle free day ahead. I super appreciate their kind gesture of visiting us on our first night in Hanoi to say hi and give some gifts to us. And also since they noted it’s my daughter’s birthday - every hotel we go to they have a design surprise for my daughter in our room, even got a free room upgrade in Sapa and also they gave a cute & big birthday cake for my daughter 🥺♥️ All drivers assigned to us and tour guides given to us per day and destination were great too! To our tour guides Alex, Daniel, Vang, Bach and John - thank you for being such fantastic, patient, open to adjustments and caring tour guides especially to my seniors and kids. And the food c/o tour! All the restaurants where the tour guides bring us for lunch and dinner were all good and delicious! ♥️ Having a private tour all the way is really awesome. We get to adjust our time and itinerary with no hassle. The D-car limousine van provided to us everyday was very very comfortable, captain seats and very spacious for us. We really couldn’t ask for more! And all of our itinerary, tour spots and activities in Hanoi, Sapa and Danang - perfect! We were able to go to all famous tour spots there is in Hanoi, Sapa, Danang and Hoi An - in just 6 days! 🥰 Everything really did go smoothly for us, weather was great, everything fell into place and timing perfectly ♥️ Everything was very exceptional and Meetup Travel really exceeded our expectations! ♥️ I highly highly recommend Meetup Travel to everyone!!! Lastly to Ms. Chloe, sis you did great! Thank you so much for the fantastic customer service, all the quick adjustments, the freebies, everything! 😘
