Many travelers do not want to join a group tour, but arranging everything from start to finish can be tiring. The middle option is to hire a private car with a tour guide: you choose the itinerary, hotels, and restaurants, while the driver and guide handle transportation and provide information.
Post a request for free and receive quotes from multiple vehicle providers. Huongdanviendulich.vn is a platform connecting customers with vehicle providers: you post one request, and verified providers send quotes for you to compare and choose the best price. Post a vehicle request now or view available vehicles.
3 ways to combine a vehicle and a tour guide
| Option | Description | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Private vehicle + private tour guide | The driver handles driving, while the guide provides commentary, directions, and interpretation | Families, groups of 4–15 people, foreign visitors |
| Driver who also serves as a tour guide | One person both drives and provides information | Couples, small groups, short journeys, budget travelers |
| Easy Rider | A tour guide takes you around by motorbike | Adventure seekers, mountain routes such as Hà Giang |
Note: a driver who also serves as a tour guide cannot drive and provide detailed commentary at the same time, especially at sites that require entering for visits. At destinations such as the Imperial City of Huế, Mỹ Sơn, and the Củ Chi Tunnels, a private tour guide is recommended.
Who should choose a vehicle + tour guide package?
- First-time foreign visitors to Vietnam who need an interpreter.
- Families with young children or elderly members who need a private vehicle and assistance.
- Business travelers who want to make the most of 1–2 days for sightseeing.
- Photography groups who need to stop at multiple locations and travel at the best times.
Popular routes for booking a vehicle with a tour guide
- Hanoi – Ninh Binh (Trang An, Tam Coc, Hoa Lu) in one day.

- Ho Chi Minh City – Cu Chi Tunnels, the Mekong Delta.

Why post a request instead of contacting each vehicle provider?
- Multiple quotes to compare: post once and receive quotes from multiple vehicle providers.
- Transparency: quotes clearly state the vehicle type, vehicle year, and whether tolls, parking, fuel, and nighttime surcharges are included.
- Verified providers: business profiles and vehicles are checked before being listed on the platform.
- Free of charge: customers can post requests for free and are not required to choose a provider if none of the quotes meets their expectations.
How to book on Huongdanviendulich.vn
You can book each service separately or combine them:
- Book separately: post a request for a tour guide and post a request for a vehicle for the same day and itinerary. Note that you already have a guide or vehicle so both parties can coordinate the pickup time.
- Find a driver who also serves as a guide: post a request for a tour guide and select the skill “Driver and tour guide”.
- Combine everything in one package: post a request for a customized tour, clearly stating “only need a vehicle and tour guide; I will arrange the hotel myself.” The travel company will provide a package quote.
Choose the best quote: compare the vehicle type, vehicle model year, included costs, free waiting time, cancellation policy, and the transport provider’s reviews.
Tips for comparing costs
- Ask clearly who pays for entrance tickets and the meals of the guide and driver.
- Ask about the number of working hours per day and overtime fees.
- For multi-day trips, ask whether the accommodation and meals for the guide and driver are included.

Save more with shared-route and shared vehicles
If you do not need to depart at a fixed time, tick “I am flexible with the departure time” when posting your request. The platform will notify you when a shared-route vehicle matching your route and time slot is available, such as a vehicle that has just dropped off passengers and is heading back. The transport provider fills an empty seat, while you get a better price.
Transport providers: register to access a steady stream of customers
If you have vehicles with 4–45 seats, Limousines, or rental motorbikes and bicycles, register an account on Huongdanviendulich.vn, list the vehicles you have, and monitor open vehicle requests to submit quotes. Shared-route trips help you reduce empty runs.
