Pick up is included in all private tours and group tours with Vietnam Group Tour.

Private tour: Pick up and drop off at your hotel.
Group tour: we provided pick up at certain places mentioned in the pick up area. Normally, pick up and drop off is the same place, but with some tours, pick up at hotel only and no drop off, double check that info before you book. If your hotel is located outside this region (exclusion of mentioned area), you have 2 options to follow:
- Pay an extra charge (from 2$ to 5$/pax/way depending on tour and location, please check carefully at each tour) to be picked up and dropped off at your hotel. This fee will be collected by the tour guide on the day of the tour or contact out sales staff to be supported.

It is advised that customers should be present at the hotel lobby during pick up time or staying in your room until our tour guide come and give you a phone call.

Sometimes, we get troubles when picking up customers due to the hotel reservation and tour booking are made with difference names/wrong hotel address given or customers go out for a walk during pick up time. In such cases, the tour guide can not check the name of customer with hotel staff or can not meet them as they are out of hotel. Our shuttle bus can not wait for customers over 10 minutes (as there are other customers need to be picked up) and customers have to take a taxi to follow our bus. Accordingly, taxi fare will be paid by customers. Thus, to avoid failed pick up, below info is required to be confirmed in advance (at least one day before tour departure):

Recheck the voucher we sent to you about the tour/departure time/ pick up address/ special request... and get back to us as soon as possible at info@vietnamgrouptour.com if there is something wrong. We will resolve it to make your trip through as planned.
