Our Story

Built in Hanoi. Expanded Across Southern Vietnam.

Every journey begins with a simple idea.

Ours began with a belief that the most memorable parts of Vietnam are not always the famous landmarks, the busiest attractions, or the places found on every travel itinerary.

They are the conversations shared over coffee on a quiet street corner. The family recipes passed down through generations. The stories told by local people who have spent their lives calling these places home.

That belief led to the creation of Hanoi Travel Mate.

What started as a small local initiative grew into one of Vietnam's highest-rated local experience brands, welcoming travellers from around the world and becoming an official SANDEMANs New Europe partner.

But Vietnam is a country of remarkable diversity.

The energy of Saigon feels different from Hanoi.

The waterways of the Mekong Delta tell different stories.

The cool pine-covered hills of Da Lat offer a completely different rhythm of life.

As more travellers asked us to help them discover Southern Vietnam with the same authenticity and local perspective they experienced in Hanoi, Saigon Travel Mate was born.

Today, our mission remains unchanged.

We believe travel becomes meaningful when it creates genuine human connections.

Not when travellers simply move from attraction to attraction.

Not when destinations become checklists.

But when people leave with a deeper understanding of a place and the people who live there.

Across Saigon, the Mekong Delta, and Da Lat, we work alongside local guides, hosts, storytellers, and communities who share their knowledge, culture, and everyday life with visitors from around the world.

Every experience we create is built around curiosity, authenticity, and respect for local culture.

We are not interested in showing travellers only the highlights.

We want to help them discover the details.

The hidden alleyways.

The local markets.

The family-run cafés.

The untold stories.

The moments that often become the most memorable part of a journey.

Because we believe the most authentic version of Vietnam is the one shared by locals.

And the best journeys are not measured by how many places you visit, but by how deeply you connect with them.

Thank you for being part of our story.

We look forward to sharing Southern Vietnam with you.
