A smooth trip starts with clear information. These answers will help you choose a suitable itinerary, understand the costs, and prepare for a trip with your family or group.
Important: This FAQ provides general guidance. Prices, departure dates, included services, and change conditions are confirmed for each booking. Read the itinerary, quotation, and terms provided before paying, and ask for clarification if any details are inconsistent. This FAQ does not replace your service agreement or limit your rights under applicable rules.
You can browse tour programs and destination guides on Booktrip.me. For hotel bookings, vehicle hire, flights, or visa assistance, send your proposed itinerary so availability and a suitable quotation can be checked.
Before deciding, make sure you know who will deliver the services, the itinerary, the total cost, and whom to contact for help with your booking.
Choose a suitable program, review the itinerary, and submit a request with your preferred date and number of travelers. If the tour page has a booking form, you can use it. If you cannot select a date or submit your request, use the Contact page.
Before paying, obtain confirmation of availability, the applicable price, included services, change and cancellation conditions, and payment instructions. Keep your booking reference, payment records, and final confirmation.
Helpful details include your destination, departure location, travel dates, trip length, number of adults, children's ages on the service date, and approximate budget. Mention your preferences for accommodation, transport, meals, activity levels, and pickup or drop-off locations.
If your group includes older travelers, anyone who needs mobility assistance, or guests with special dietary requirements, explain the relevant needs at the outset. Share identity documents and sensitive information only when needed for a specific procedure, through a verified channel.
Plan early for public holidays, Tet, busy weekends, larger groups, or specific hotels and flights. Trips involving visas or specially arranged services may need more preparation time.
There is no single booking deadline for every program. For a last-minute booking, check actual availability, the payment deadline, and whether your requirements can be met before transferring money.
Not necessarily. A submitted request or system-generated reference may still require an availability check and payment reconciliation.
Your confirmation should state which services are reserved, the service date, number of travelers, total price, amount paid, and any remaining requirements. If the message only says your request has been received, check the status before buying additional tickets or arranging nonrefundable services.
Send the tour name or link, preferred date, group size, and any alternative dates you can consider. Being unable to select a date online does not, by itself, confirm that a service is sold out or available.
Possible options to check include another date, a similar program, or a private trip if one can be arranged. The price and services must be confirmed for each option. Wait for confirmation rather than transferring money on the assumption that this will secure a place.
A shared tour usually follows a set itinerary, meeting times, and shared arrangements for guests from different bookings. A private tour is arranged for one group, with the scope for adjustments discussed during planning.
Consider a shared tour if a set program suits your budget and schedule. If you are traveling with young children, several older guests, or need more flexibility, ask about a private option. Availability, minimum group size, and cost must be checked for your particular request.
Check the price for your actual travel date, group size, and selected services. An advertised or “from” price may not include supplements or your group's specific requests.
Before paying, obtain the total in Vietnamese dong (VND), separate adult and child prices, a list of included and optional services, and any applicable taxes or supplements. Do not confirm a booking while the total amount or currency is unclear.
Inclusions are specified for each program. Check transport, accommodation or room type, the number of meals, admission tickets, guides, activity equipment, and insurance if provided.
An activity appearing in a photograph or tour name does not necessarily mean it is included. Read both the inclusions and exclusions, especially for cable cars, shows, scuba diving, drinks, and optional experiences.
Charges to check may include holiday or Tet supplements, single rooms, room upgrades, extra beds, pickups outside the service area, children's services, baggage, and additional activities. Any applicable charge should be clarified for your booking.
If you choose an activity outside the itinerary at your destination, ask about the price, who collects payment, and the service conditions before agreeing. Keep confirmations or receipts for additional payments.
The deposit and payment deadline depend on the tour, departure date, and services that must be reserved in advance. There is no single deposit percentage or payment schedule for every program.
Your payment instructions should show the amount due, deadline, payment reference, and what happens if payment is late. Also check how the deposit will be handled if you change or cancel your trip.
Use only the payment method and recipient details confirmed for your booking. If an online payment option is offered, check that it is operational and applies to the service you are purchasing.
Verify your booking reference, amount, and recipient name before transferring money. If you receive an unexpected request to use a different account, verify it through an established contact. Do not share passwords, one-time passcodes (OTPs), or card security codes with a booking adviser.
Provide your booking reference, transaction time, amount, and transaction reference or transfer receipt so the payment can be reconciled. If you are expecting an email, also check your spam folder and the address supplied with your booking.
Do not pay again simply because an email has not arrived. If departure or the reservation deadline is approaching, contact the team directly and ask for confirmation of both your payment and the reserved services.
Mention your invoice requirements when requesting a quotation so the issuing entity, service description, amount, and delivery arrangements can be established. For a company invoice, prepare the company name, tax identification number, address, and recipient details required at the time of the transaction.
If your trip involves several providers, clarify which entity will invoice each charge. Arranging documentation early helps prevent errors and makes expense reporting easier.
You can submit a request, but changes depend on availability and the conditions of the services already booked. Any new price, change fee, or fare difference should be explained before you agree.
Send your original date, preferred new date, booking reference, and the number of travelers affected as early as possible. Wait for written confirmation: submitting a request does not mean the original arrangements have been changed successfully.
This must be checked for each service. Road tours, flights, train tickets, accommodation, and attraction tickets may have different conditions, and some services do not allow name transfers.
Before arranging for someone else to take your place, provide your booking reference and the details to be changed. Check whether the change is permitted, the fee, and the deadline. The replacement traveler should use the service only after the updated details have been confirmed.
Cancellation charges must be checked against the terms provided and agreed for your particular tour, departure date, and the time your request is received. Flights, accommodation, and activity tickets may have their own conditions.
When canceling, request acknowledgment and an itemized breakdown of the amount paid, applicable charges, the basis for calculating them, and the expected refund. Do not use another tour's policy to calculate your own refund.
How your deposit is handled depends on the booking conditions and the reason for cancellation or change. Check what can be refunded, what may be transferred to another service if agreed, and what costs have already been incurred.
If a refund is due, ask for the amount, method, estimated processing time, and a contact for updates. There is no single refund timeframe for all services. If an agreed timeframe has passed, use your booking reference and refund confirmation to request an update.
Contact the tour coordinator or guide named in your trip confirmation immediately. Whether the group can wait, arrange an additional pickup, or let you join elsewhere depends on the itinerary and safety conditions.
Nonattendance may be handled under the service's no-show conditions. Do not assume your booking will be credited or refunded. If you cannot join, give notice as early as possible and ask how your particular booking will be handled.
Before booking, ask whether departure is confirmed or still subject to a minimum number of participants, and when you will receive the final decision.
If the trip cannot proceed, ask for the reason and proposed options, such as another date, a different program, or handling of payments under the agreement and applicable rules. Review any replacement carefully, especially if you have independently booked transport or accommodation.
An itinerary may need to change if conditions prevent safe operation or an attraction closes. For island tours, ask in advance what happens if boats or speedboats are not permitted to operate.
If plans change, clarify the affected activities, any alternative services, price differences, and how undelivered services will be handled. Do not assume every situation leads to either a full refund or no refund. The specific circumstances must be considered against the agreement and applicable rules.
This depends on the tour and each service within it. Some providers use age, while others use height. Airlines, hotels, and attractions may apply different pricing categories.
Provide each child's date of birth and current height if requested, and check how the applicable category is determined on the service date. If the website does not offer a suitable child option, request a separate quotation rather than assuming the child travels free.
Do not infer a child's entitlements from the price alone. Check four items separately: a seat on transport, a meal portion, a bed or sleeping arrangement, and admission to each attraction.
If you want an additional seat, bed, or separate meal for a child, ask whether it can be arranged and at what cost. Confirm the room's maximum occupancy as well, to avoid having to change rooms on arrival.
Consider itineraries with fewer changes of location, adequate breaks, and convenient arrangements for feeding, sleeping, and changing. Check total travel time, boat or speedboat journeys, stairs, and walking distances between transport and attractions.
Ask in advance about strollers, suitable child seating on transport, cots, or extra beds if needed. Prepare your baby's food and care supplies in line with the transport conditions for the trip.
Look at the actual pace rather than only the number of days. Useful details include departure times, time spent on the road, walking distances, stairs, boarding boats, and the number of hotel changes.
Discuss rest breaks, meals, and mobility needs during planning. If health conditions may affect participation, ask your doctor about the proposed trip. Rooms near a lift, routes with fewer steps, or suitable vehicles need to be checked and confirmed separately.
Suitability depends on your health, transport, and specific activities. Discuss the trip with your treating doctor and check the acceptance requirements of transport companies and activity operators.
Explain relevant assistance needs, particularly for long journeys, boats or speedboats, steep terrain, or water activities. Booking advice is not a substitute for a medical assessment. Provide health records only when necessary for a clearly explained procedure.
Describe your needs clearly: whether you can board a vehicle independently, the type of wheelchair, lift access, bathroom requirements, and whether someone will accompany you to assist. Accessibility needs to be checked throughout the itinerary, not just at the hotel.
Before booking, obtain confirmation about transport, boarding access, attractions, and any parts of the trip that may need alternatives. Do not assume a standard tour meets every accessibility requirement.
Check requirements for the specific route, transport, destination, and relationship to the accompanying adult. Identity documents, proof of relationship, or consent from a parent or guardian may be required, depending on the circumstances.
Do not assume the same documents apply to every trip. School groups should agree on the student list, responsible adults, family contacts, and handover arrangements before departure.
Check whether the tour accepts individual bookings on your preferred date and whether a minimum group size applies. For overnight trips, clarify whether you will have a private or shared room, who you may share with, and any supplement.
If privacy is important, request a private room when obtaining your quotation. Booking for one person does not automatically mean you will receive a private room or a shared room without a supplement.
You can explain preferences for free time, bed type, a private room, a special meal, or a celebration activity. Availability and any additional cost must be checked.
Clarify which requests are confirmed and which have only been noted and remain subject to availability. Do not assume room decorations, a cake, upgrades, or honeymoon benefits are included in the tour price.
Send your group size, ages, travel dates, budget, and preferred experiences. A suitable itinerary should balance travel time, activity levels, accommodation, meals, and breaks for the whole group.
If a private arrangement is possible, obtain a detailed itinerary and quotation before deciding. Agree on the scope for customization, the number of participants used to calculate the price, and what happens if the group size changes.
Provide the expected group size, dates, budget, program objectives, and meeting or group activity requirements. If you need a gala dinner, staging, sound equipment, a host, gifts, or branding, list these separately for quotation.
Before confirming, agree on who approves the program, the wet-weather alternative, the deadline for final names, the minimum chargeable group size, and the required contract, payment, and invoice documentation.
Choose a program suited to the students' ages, with appropriate breaks, facilities, and supervision. During planning, agree on student management, roll calls, handovers, medical assistance, and what happens if a student needs to leave the group.
The school or responsible organization should prepare family contacts and relevant allergy or assistance information. The responsibilities of the guide and the adults supervising students should be clearly distinguished in the operating plan.
Provide your nationality, preferred language, and travel dates so eligibility, documentation, guide availability, and applicable prices can be checked. Some services or destinations may require additional information.
For a shared tour, confirm the actual guiding language and level of support available. Check any relevant stay, entry, or re-entry requirements with the competent authorities. A tour booking does not replace these procedures.
Obtain confirmation of departure, the starting location, pickup time, and finishing time before independently purchasing nonrefundable services. Allow time for check-in procedures, baggage collection, and transfers between the airport, hotel, and meeting point.
If you plan to fly or take a train after the tour, ask about a suitable connection buffer for the particular itinerary. Avoid very tight connections, as traffic and activity timings can change.
Pickup and drop-off coverage is specified for each program. Provide the exact address to check whether it is within the service area, whether you need to meet at a designated point, and whether a supplement applies.
Your pre-departure confirmation should give the pickup address, meeting time, how to identify your transport, and the coordinator's contact details. Check the drop-off point separately: it may not be the same as the pickup location.
Recheck the date, time, address, and any updated messages, then call the contact provided for your trip. Give your booking reference, current location, and the number of people waiting.
If you are asked to move to another meeting point or travel independently, clarify the address, timing, and who pays any cost before doing so. Do not leave the meeting point without notifying the coordinator, as this can make pickup more difficult.
Discuss this in advance to check whether it is possible, where to meet, and at what time. Not using transport, a meal, or part of the itinerary does not automatically reduce the price, as services may have been booked as a package.
Agree on the included and unused services, total price, and responsibility for your separate transport. On a shared tour, joining or leaving the group must fit the common itinerary and be confirmed by the coordinator.
You can ask about the transport standard, seating capacity, air conditioning, luggage space, and any assistance you need. For a particular vehicle or seating position, clarify whether it is guaranteed in the quotation or only recorded as a preference.
Actual arrangements may depend on group size and the agreed operating conditions. Families with young children and travelers who need assistance should explain their needs early so suitable options can be checked.
Treat tickets as included only when the itinerary and quotation say so. Check the carrier, route, expected schedule, ticket type, baggage allowance, change and cancellation conditions, and whether tickets have been issued.
Names on tickets must match the documents used for travel. If you book your own tickets, share your itinerary to coordinate transfers, and keep the airline or ticket issuer's contact details for changes relating to those tickets.
Limits depend on the transport, purchased ticket, and available storage. Check hand baggage, checked baggage, strollers, wheelchairs, and special equipment for each part of the journey.
Give advance notice if you plan to bring large suitcases, several bags, or sports equipment. For day trips, pack lightly and keep documents and valuables with you. Do not place bags where they obstruct aisles or exits.
Discuss this with the guide or coordinator before leaving, especially in remote areas, on islands, or wherever shared transport is needed. Make sure you know how to return, the meeting deadline, and who is responsible for anyone accompanying you.
Choosing not to use a service does not automatically create a refund entitlement. If you wish to finish early, clarify the remaining services and arrange your separate transport or accommodation before deciding.
Check the hotel name if confirmed, agreed accommodation standard, location, room type, number of guests per room, and bed configuration. Terms such as “or equivalent” should be explained using specific criteria relevant to your trip.
If you need nearby rooms, connecting rooms, or rooms on the same floor, ask for these to be checked in advance. Recording a preference does not mean the hotel has confirmed it.
These charges depend on the chosen room and hotel's policies. Check how many guests per room the tour price assumes, the supplement for sole occupancy, and the standard of any extra bed requested.
For children sharing a bed, check the maximum number permitted, breakfast, and access to facilities. A child without a separate bed may still incur charges under the service policy. Any applicable amount should be included in the total quotation.
Check-in and check-out times depend on the hotel and booking type. Early arrival or late departure requires confirmation of room availability, charges, and when the arrangement can be confirmed.
If your flight arrives early or leaves late, discuss luggage storage, a place to rest, or additional accommodation time in advance. Do not assume the tour includes use of a room outside the confirmed hours.
Describe your needs before booking, including whether a vegetarian diet includes eggs or dairy, foods to avoid, or particular dietary or religious requirements. The restaurant's ability to accommodate them must be checked for each meal.
If your needs cannot be met, you should know early enough to consider bringing food or arranging separate meals. Clarify any cost and whether the meal component of the package can be adjusted.
Specify the food involved and any requirements relating to preparation, utensils, or cross-contact so the provider can assess whether it can cater for you. Substituting a dish does not mean a kitchen can guarantee the elimination of every allergy risk.
If suitable arrangements have not been confirmed, discuss your meal plan and necessary preparations with your doctor. Notify the person in charge immediately if you experience unusual symptoms during a meal.
Review the itinerary for shopping stops, free time, and separately charged activities. Before booking, ask how much time is allocated to each and what arrangements apply if you do not join an optional experience.
Make personal purchases only after checking the price and the seller's return conditions. When exploring independently, keep the meeting point, meeting time, and a way to contact the group.
Photographs help illustrate a destination, but scenery can vary with the season, weather, tides, and visitor numbers. Images do not replace the confirmed details of your room category, transport, or purchased services.
If your main aim is a flower season, cloud viewing, coral viewing, or another particular sight, ask about seasonality and viewing conditions. A photograph should not be treated as a guarantee of an identical experience.
For island trips such as Phu Quoc or Nha Trang, joining the itinerary and entering the water require separate consideration. Explain your swimming ability so the operator can assess the activity, supervision, life jackets, and alternatives on the boat or shore.
A life jacket does not replace a safety assessment. Do not enter the water on your own or swim alone, and remain within the instructed area. If the activity is unsuitable or you do not feel confident, choose an option that does not involve entering the water.
No. Snorkeling with a mask and snorkel usually takes place at the surface. Scuba diving uses breathing equipment and requires its own instruction and assessment of suitability.
Ask which activity is included, its duration, equipment, supervision, and any additional charge. Do not assume scuba diving is included simply because the tour name mentions diving or coral viewing. If you have a relevant medical condition, consult your doctor before deciding to take part in water activities.
Ask about boat travel time, transport type, boarding arrangements, and whether a gentler itinerary is possible. For advice on medication or an approach suited to your health, consult a doctor or pharmacist rather than relying on informal recommendations.
You can ask whether resting ashore or skipping an activity can be arranged. Agree in advance on the waiting location, assistance, and any cost. Do not assume that remaining on the boat is always possible or that unused activities will be refunded.
Check the official trip update and contact the coordinator. Rain where you are staying does not necessarily mean the whole tour is canceled. Equally, apparently good weather does not confirm that boats or outdoor activities are permitted to operate.
Ask about departure status, itinerary changes, and the options for your booking. If you do not attend without a confirmed change, the agreed no-show or voluntary cancellation conditions may apply.
Check whether insurance is included in your selected package. If it is, ask for the insurer, who is insured, coverage dates, scope, benefit limits, exclusions, and the claims procedure.
In particular, check water activities, sports, age restrictions, and relevant health conditions. Do not assume insurance covers every incident or all cancellation costs. If the existing cover does not meet your needs, consider a separate policy after reading its conditions.
Stop the activity and tell the guide or person in charge immediately so suitable assistance can be sought. In an emergency, prioritize access to local emergency medical services.
Carry a family contact, medication you use under your treatment instructions, and insurance details if applicable. Keep medical documents and expense receipts for reconciliation or an insurance claim. Payment or reimbursement must be assessed under the relevant conditions.
Use the guide, coordinator, or emergency contact given in your own trip confirmation. Before departure, save these details on both your phone and a companion's phone.
If no contact has been provided, request one before the meeting time. When reporting a problem, give your location, booking reference, number of people affected, and the assistance needed. For immediate danger, seek local emergency help while notifying the person responsible for your group.
Prepare valid identification accepted for the transport and hotel check-in procedures on your itinerary. If you are flying, check the current document requirements of your actual airline. Do not assume a photograph of a document is always accepted.
Booking names should match the documents used. If a document is lost, your details have changed, or you intend to use electronic identification, check acceptance in advance rather than waiting until departure day.
Requirements depend on age, nationality, the accompanying adult, and the service used. Check current information from the airline and hotel, particularly when a child is not traveling with their parents or the trip includes an international flight.
If flying with Vietnam Airlines, families can consult its domestic travel document guidance in Vietnamese. For another carrier, check that airline's requirements. Bring an accepted form of documentation, rather than relying only on a photograph saved on a phone.
Check requirements for your nationality, destination, transit points, and travel dates. Review passport validity, blank pages, visa or visa-exemption eligibility, transit conditions, and any additional documents required.
Prioritize information from immigration authorities, diplomatic missions, and your carrier. Booking a tour or receiving application assistance does not guarantee a visa or permission to enter a country. Those decisions belong to the competent authorities.
Provide only the information necessary for an explained purpose, such as ticketing, accommodation, or a visa application. Verify the recipient and submission channel first. Avoid posting document images in public comments or groups.
You can read Booktrip's privacy policy and ask how your information will be handled in your particular case. Do not provide banking passwords, OTPs, or card security codes during a booking consultation.
For a day trip, prioritize suitable identification, service confirmations, a phone, water as needed, sun or rain protection, and personal medication you use. For an overnight trip, add clothing suited to the weather, toiletries, and any necessary children's supplies.
For island trips, consider spare clothing, protection for electronic devices, and suitable footwear. Check what the organizer provides and the baggage allowance so you avoid overpacking or leaving essential items behind.
Follow forecasts for the actual destination near your travel date and check updates from the trip coordinator. For a journey covering several areas, consider conditions along the main parts of the route.
Before leaving, recheck pickup time and location, contact details, transport, documents, any outstanding balance, and changes to the arrangements. If you have not received final instructions, contact the team instead of relying on an old itinerary.
Notify the guide or person in charge immediately and contact the relevant venue or transport provider to check for the missing item. If you lose a payment card, use your bank's official channels to block it and obtain guidance.
For identity documents, check the appropriate procedure with the competent authorities and your carrier for the onward journey. Keep details of the incident, place, time, and any acknowledgment or receipt. Do not assume every loss is covered by insurance.
Notify the guide, coordinator, or service provider promptly so the issue can be checked and, where possible, addressed during your trip. Explain what differs from the itinerary or confirmation you received.
For a later complaint, prepare your booking reference, time, description, relevant photos or receipts, and the outcome you are seeking. Request acknowledgment and an estimated response time. Avoid relying only on a social media post without contacting the responsible team directly.
Contact the place where you may have left it and your trip contact as soon as possible. Give a description, location, time, room number, or vehicle details to help the search.
If the item is found, agree on recipient verification, the return address, and any delivery charge. Assistance with a search does not guarantee recovery. Keep important belongings with you and check before leaving each location.
You can send feedback through your support contact and identify the service or itinerary you used. Specific comments about the itinerary, meals, transport, and organization make a review easier to assess.
When sharing images of other people, especially children, consider privacy and appropriate consent. If you allow photos or comments to be used in publicity, clearly confirm the content and permitted scope of use.
Send your check-in and check-out dates, number of adults, children's ages, and bedding needs so options can be checked. Before paying, confirm the room type, occupancy, breakfast, taxes and fees, supplements, cancellation conditions, and check-in and check-out times.
Distinguish between special requests that have been noted and those that are confirmed, such as a double bed, a nonsmoking room, or nearby rooms. Obtain the booking confirmation and appropriate support contact before using the reservation.
Provide the date and time, pickup and drop-off points, number of travelers, baggage quantity, and planned route. For an airport transfer, add the flight number. The vehicle must suit both the passenger count and baggage, as well as any assistance needs.
Before confirming, check inclusions, route limits, waiting time, out-of-hours fees, parking, tolls, and additional-stop charges. Ask what happens if a flight time changes or passengers are delayed reaching the meeting point.
For flights, confirm the exact traveler names, route, fare type, baggage, total price, ticketing deadline, and change or refund conditions. A quotation or reservation code is not proof that a ticket has been issued.
For visa assistance, establish the scope of help, required documents, service fees, official application fees, and how charges are handled if an application is unsuccessful. Processing times and decisions are controlled by the relevant authority. Check that your request can be accepted before submitting documents or paying.
