Should I choose a private tour or joining a group tour in Ho Chi Minh city?

 

In this article, I would like to give some information and advice for travelers to make a good choice when booking a tour to Vietnam.

Based on many years of experience in serving tourists, including private car tours, 30-seat cars or group tours, I have gathered some experiences as follows

 

For private tour:

Advantages:

Visitors will feel very comfortable when they own the car, guide, and driver

We can stop the car whenever we want The

the guide will spend a lot of time Time to talk and share with us more

Private tour cars in Vietnam are usually quite good-quality SUVs.

With very hot weather in Vietnam, the best thing is to sit in the car and avoid the heat in Vietnam. Vietnam and observe the surrounding scenery.

There are beautiful scenes where we can ask the driver to slow down and take beautiful pictures.

We move much faster and safer.

It is very easy to find a private car tour service provider.

Often private car tour units have very good reviews on travel review sites, so we can choose for ourselves the most suitable unit.

Multiple-day tours can be organized.

Bad point:

For many tourists who want to make new friends, there will be little opportunity to meet and share travel experiences.

Slightly higher price

Tour Joining group:

The advantage:

The price is quite cheap

Can meet friends around to share travel experiences

The bad:

The advantages of a private tour are the disadvantages of joining a group

As part Cheap, so the care of the guides is not very attentive, we have to follow your guide's arrangement and have little time to do the things we like, because we have to depend on the group.

Usually, tours like this have little emotional sublimation in the tour.

 

In my opinion, you should choose to take a private car tour because it's not too expensive, if you don't have enough money, you can find a few friends and share the money with them, just 3 people can rent together. a private car and a guide.

For example, a tour to Cu Chi tunnels costs about 100 USD/tour, each person only needs to spend 30 USD to enjoy everything including lunch.

Joining tour costs about 15 USD/pax and just needs to add 15 USD which we get back really good value.

If you want to be more sublimated in the tour, then choose a motorbike tour, the price is from about 60 USD/pax to 90 USD/pax

It's a wonderful experience where you blend into the local life. faster and experience more.
