Meetup Travel is a Vietnamese travel-services company offering tour packages and travel arrangements in Vietnam. Their website states they specialise in crafting premium travel for international customers in Vietnam, with English-speaking staff, personalised itineraries, and a focus on “local’s spirit”.
Core Service Offerings
Here are some of the main services Meetup Travel provides:
-
Custom itinerary design: Rather than strictly pre-set tour packages, they state that they design each trip after a call with the traveller: “We don’t just ask for your dates—we ask about your story… Who you’re traveling with. What memories you want to create.”
-
Premium hotels & flights: They indicate they use 4–5 star hotels in city centres, domestic flights with Vietnam Airlines when needed, and VIP services.
-
VIP/fast-track services: For example, a “Fast Track Service” at airports: guiding through immigration, priority lanes, pre-checked documents, etc.
-
Airport transfer & car services: They offer airport pick-up/drop-off, modern vehicle fleets, etc.
-
Tours & excursions: They have tours in Vietnam covering major destinations such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay / Lan Ha Bay, Hoi An, Phu Quoc, etc.
-
Support in English & international traveller-friendly: They emphasise that all staff (customer care, guides, drivers) “speak 100% fluent English… and understand international travel expectations.”
Travel Style & Philosophy
The company emphasises a travel style that is:
-
Boutique and personalised: Rather than mass-group tours, the emphasis is on tailoring the trip to who you are, your style, what you want.
-
Reliable & premium: With 4-5 star hotels, premium airline flights domestically, VIP services, they aim at travellers wanting comfort and quality.
-
Local-speaking & authentic: They promote “Local’s Spirit – Authentic & Premium” as a tagline.
-
Clear pricing: They give indicative pricing: “From US $100/person/day” for their comfort/value tier; “From US $150+” for luxury. International flight & visa not included.
Target Clients & Use Cases
Based on their offerings and tone, the clients for whom Meetup Travel may be a good fit include:
-
Couples (honeymooners) wanting a romantic high-quality trip in Vietnam. They mention specifically “Honeymoon of Mr. Sahithi – 2 people – Destination …” as an example.
-
Families/travel groups looking for premium accommodation and service (they list “Family of Mr. Prasad – 15 people – Destination North & Central” in their sample). Travellers who prefer guided, well-organised services, and who may not want to organise every little detail themselves.
-
People who appreciate English-speaking guides and support, as opposed to fully independent backpacker style.
-
Those seeking comfort, reliability and a polished experience in Vietnam rather than budget-only or very rugged travel.
Destinations & Regions Covered
From their website, major Vietnamese destinations they mention include:
-
Hanoi (capital, cultural hub)
-
Ho Chi Minh City (southern metropolis)
-
Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay (cruises)
-
Hoi An (historic town)
-
Phu Quoc (island/beach destination)
-
Cu Chi Tunnels (historic experience)
-
Sapa, Hue (northern & central Vietnam) vn.meetup.travel
Additional Services & Features
-
They provide fast-track airport immigration assistance, which is a convenient add-on if you arrive busy or prefer ease.
-
They offer airport car transfers with different vehicle sizes (4-seat, 7-seat, etc) and transparent pricing.
-
They have an app presence (“Meetup” app) where you can book tours, see curated experiences, voucher style operations.
Strengths & What Stands Out
-
The focus on English-speaking staff is a strong plus for international travellers who may be worried about communication.
-
Customisation rather than one-size-fits-all packages: this allows tailoring to your interests, pace, group size.
-
High level service (4-5 star hotels, domestic flights included, VIP airport services) means less stress travel.
-
Clear pricing tiers give transparency (though you still need to check what is included).
-
Good for multi-destination Vietnam trips, combining cities, nature, beach.Understand cancellation policy, responsiveness overseas, and comparably check reviews from previous travellers (though I did not find many third-party independent reviews in the search).
-
If you are travelling from India (or outside) check their familiarity with your market, any language support for your native language, etc.
Suitability for You (from India)
Given that you are in India (Kerala) and might be looking at a trip to Vietnam:
-
If you are looking for a comfortable, well-handled trip with minimal hassles (domestic flights in Vietnam, 4-5 star stays, English-speaking support), then Meetup Travel could be a good fit.
-
If you prefer a budget adventure with hostels, local guesthouses, more independent backpacking style, you might find this service more expensive than needed.
-
Since India is a large outbound market, ask whether Meetup Travel has experience serving Indian travellers (visa assistance, flight connecting suggestions, Indian food dietary support) — I did not find specific mention of Indian market in the public page.
-
Reach out to them and ask for sample itineraries, quotes for your party size, include specifics for your interests (culture, beach, nature, food) and ask for references or past traveller reviews.

Summary & My Recommendation
In summary, Meetup Travel appears to be a well-positioned travel agency in Vietnam catering to international travellers seeking a premium, customised, and well-supported experience across Vietnam’s key destinations. If your travel style aligns with comfort, professional support, and you are willing to invest more for convenience and quality, then this agency could be a strong choice. If instead you are prioritising budget, minimal services, or prefer complete independence, you may want to weigh other options as well.
