Overview

What this trip actually feels like

Vietnam is the trip people come back from talking differently. You start in Ho Chi Minh City — loud, fast, generous with its food — and end drifting through Ha Long Bay, where the noise finally stops. In between you get beach days in Da Nang, lantern-lit evenings in Hoi An, and Hanoi's Old Quarter, which is best understood on a plastic stool with a bowl of something hot.

This is a moving trip: eight days, five stops, two internal flights. It's paced so you're not just ticking sights — there are café mornings and free afternoons built in, because the best bits of Vietnam usually happen when nobody planned them.

Most people on this departure book solo. You'll be added to the trip group chat well before you fly, meet the crew at the airport, and travel with a Party Passport trip leader on the ground for all eight days. Stays are twin-sharing and vetted; same-gender room sharing unless you ask otherwise.

We're a young brand and we'd rather be honest than oversell: this is a group trip with a real schedule, real early mornings, and a lot of walking. If that sounds like your kind of week, it's one of the best-value trips in our catalogue.

  • Overnight-style Ha Long Bay cruise with kayaking, a cave visit and sunset on deck
  • Hoi An Ancient Town after dark — lantern streets, the Japanese Bridge and a basket boat ride
  • Ba Na Hills cable car up to the Golden Bridge and Fantasy Park
  • Hanoi Old Quarter street-food crawl, plus Train Street and a night out with the crew
  • Mekong Delta day trip from Ho Chi Minh — boat ride, coconut candy stop and a local lunch
  • My Khe Beach afternoons and Da Nang's café-hopping scene

Your Party Passport trip leader

On the ground for all 8 days

Every departure travels with a Party Passport trip leader who handles check-ins, transfers, bookings and the plan for the day — so you can just show up. Your leader is confirmed and introduced in the trip group chat before departure.

I recently travelled to Spain with Party Passport... As a solo traveller, I was a bit nervous at first, but the trip was so well-organised and full of amazing people that I instantly felt at ease... A special shoutout to our group leader Palak — she was incredible!

Reviews from our trips

Hands down one of the best New Year trips ever! Bali with Party Passport was the perfect mix of insane parties, great people, and zero stress (and sleep hahaha). The company truly lives up to its name. Big shoutout to Chetan for building something so solid and fun, and to Suprita, our trip leader, who absolutely nailed it.
