Trip cost calculator
A quick price range for a private, fully planned trip with me, from the prices I publish. One price for everything except international flights: the planning, hotels, private drivers, cruises, tickets, domestic flights, and my support for the entire trip.
The ranges I publish
From my experience, per person per day, by hotel level, for a couple.
| Hotel level | Per person per day |
|---|---|
| 4-star | $160 to $200 |
| 5-star | $200 to $250 |
| 5-star premium | $250 to $300 |
What decides where you land in the range
- Season: Peak season means pricier hotels and cruises. In Vietnam the peak is March and April, the one window when almost the entire country is in season together, and on Vietnamese holidays the entire country travels. The calculator adjusts the range to the travel month wherever enough real trips back it.
- Hotel level: The biggest difference in price. Small boutique or big chain, both work at every level.
- Pace: Every change of hotel is a drive and a driver. Fewer moves, lower cost, more trip.
- Private vs. small groups: A private driver all the way, or a mix of small-group day tours and transfers. Both are good, the price differs.
- Group size: A couple sits at the top of the range. A family or friends sharing a car and driver, at the bottom.
How the range is calculated
The published range per person per day for the hotel level you chose, adjusted to the travel month wherever enough real trips I planned back it, multiplied by the number of days and travelers.
