Wallets will cry! New currency exchange regulations in Vietnam starting 2026: If you go to the wrong place, "your money could be confiscated"?
Travel Guide 2026-01-15 32399

Attention friends who are preparing to travel to Vietnam or are already living there! In 2026, Vietnam implemented stricter currency exchange regulations. From now on, general exchange agencies can only "buy" foreign currency and cannot "sell" foreign currency to tourists. If you want to exchange any unused Vietnamese Dong back to US Dollars, it can only be done in the quarantine area of international ports. Illegal currency exchange not only faces hefty fines but the funds may also be completely confiscated. Check out this guide to avoid pitfalls and protect your wallet!

Before you book

Vietnam private guide FAQ

Quick answers about pricing, languages, guide contact, airport transfers, and business interpreting.

How do I book a guide service?
Booking a guide service is very simple:

1. Browse the guide list and choose your preferred guide
2. Click the "Book" button and fill in your service requirements
3. Select service time and location
4. Complete payment confirmation
5. Wait for guide to confirm the booking

After successful booking, you will receive confirmation email and SMS notification.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 2 days in advance whenever possible. This gives the guide more time to confirm the itinerary, arrange transport, and prepare the service, and it usually gives you more available options.

The system may allow shorter-notice bookings, but same-day or last-minute requests often have limited guide availability and still require guide confirmation. Thank you for your understanding. For multi-day, multi-city, business interpretation, or special itineraries, we recommend submitting your request 1-2 weeks ahead.
How much does a private guide cost for one day in Vietnam?
Based on the currently listed 8-hour services on VietGo, a full day generally ranges from about VND 2,000,000 to VND 5,000,000. The actual price varies by city, guide experience, language, date, itinerary complexity, and service type. Check the duration and local payment shown on each guide’s service page and rely on the confirmed booking details.
Can I choose a Chinese-, English-, Japanese-, or Korean-speaking guide?
Yes. You can browse guides by language, and each profile lists the languages offered. Proficiency, professional specialization, and business interpreting experience vary. Explain any meeting, terminology, or specific language requirements before booking and ask the guide to confirm suitability.
When can I contact the guide after booking?
Once the booking and payment are confirmed, the guide can view the contact method you provided and should contact you within 72 hours. VietGo also encourages guides to reach out as early as possible to discuss the itinerary, meeting point, and important details. If the service date is near and contact has not been established, email [email protected] or use our online customer service. You may contact us in any language.
Why has a guide not replied to my public message?
VietGo is a matching platform between travelers and local guides. Guides listed on the website register independently and publish their own services. Whether and how quickly a guide replies to a public message depends on the individual guide’s own schedule and preference; the platform cannot require every listed guide to reply to every public inquiry.

If you already have a formal booking, payment record, or your service date is approaching and you still cannot reach the guide, please email [email protected] or contact us through website support. We will help check the booking and matching status.
What services are included in guide services?
Our guide services include:

Basic Services:
• Attraction tours and explanations
• Transportation arrangement recommendations
• Local culture introductions
• Language translation services

Special Services:
• Food recommendations and dining companions
• Shopping tours and bargaining assistance
• Business companions and meeting translations
• Photography services and itinerary records

Important Reminder:
• Guides on this website do not provide physical-contact or intimate-companionship services (including but not limited to hand-holding, hugging, or intimate contact).
• Any behavior that may cause harassment, sexual harassment, or discomfort is strictly prohibited on the platform.

For detailed service items, please refer to Service Items.
How do I request a refund?
Refund Process:

1. Log into member center and find the booking
2. Click "Cancel Booking" and submit
3. System will automatically determine if it meets refund policy based on cancellation time, and display estimated refund amount (including original charged TWD amount) if eligible
4. After submitting cancellation, refund application will be created and enter review and refund process

Processing and Arrival Time:
• Refund Processing: Within 3 business days (except special circumstances)
• Credit Card Arrival: Approximately 7-15 business days on bank side (subject to issuing bank processing)

Refund amount will be calculated according to "Cancellation and Refund Policy"; cancellations within 48 hours before trip start are generally non-refundable. For details, please refer to Refund Policy.
Show more frequently asked questions
What should I do if I am late, cannot find the guide, or face an emergency?
Contact the guide using the details in your booking and clearly share your current location and expected arrival time. If contact still fails, keep message and call records, then email [email protected] or ask VietGo for help through our online customer service. You may contact us in any language. For immediate personal safety or medical emergencies, contact local police, emergency services, or hotel staff first.
Can I request a multi-day or multi-city itinerary?
Yes, you may submit a request with the number of days, city order, group size, budget, language, accommodation area, and preferred experiences. Guides respond according to their availability and coverage. Multi-city travel may require different guides and third-party transport providers. VietGo facilitates matching and does not sell package tours, so each service and fee must be confirmed separately.
Can I book for children, older travelers, or someone with limited mobility?
If your group includes a traveler with limited mobility, an older adult, or a young child, please explain their age, walking ability, wheelchair or stroller needs, rest frequency, dietary requirements, health considerations, and any other relevant needs before booking. Guides listed on VietGo may adjust the itinerary within their abilities. However, because transport safety, insurance coverage, and unexpected situations may be involved, we recommend giving priority to a locally licensed travel agency or private-car operator with appropriate insurance.

A private guide can offer a more flexible and independent itinerary, but the physical condition and unexpected needs of older adults, young children, and travelers with limited mobility cannot always be predicted. For safety, check the provider’s licence, vehicle insurance, travel insurance, and scope of coverage carefully before booking. A standard private-guide service does not replace professional caregiving, medical assistance, or insurance protection.
Which cities in Vietnam can I book a private guide for?
Depending on currently available guides and service areas, you can look for private guides, local companions, interpreters, or business companions in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, Sapa, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and other listed areas. Availability still depends on each guide’s dates and coverage.
How do I book business interpreting or a factory visit?
Choose a guide with interpreting or business accompaniment experience and describe the date, city, industry, meeting or exhibition, factory location, languages, duration, and specialist terminology. General escort interpreting differs from highly specialized or simultaneous interpreting, so provide enough information for the professional to confirm suitability and pricing.
What is the difference between the platform fee and the local payment?
The online payment is VietGo’s platform consultation fee (matching service fee), charged in TWD. The estimated local payment shown on the page is paid directly to the guide or service provider on the service date. VietGo does not collect the actual travel service fee. Review the fee details and possible additional expenses before booking.
When will my booking be confirmed?
After you submit your request and complete the platform payment, the guide still needs to confirm availability. You will receive a notification once confirmed. If no response arrives for an extended period, email [email protected] and we will help check the matching status. Avoid making non-refundable transport or activity arrangements before confirmation.
Does the guide fee include transport, meals, and attraction tickets?
Unless the service page or confirmed arrangement says otherwise, the guide fee generally excludes transport, meals, attraction tickets, private vehicles, and personal expenses for both the traveler and guide. For intercity travel, a vehicle, or special activities, ask in advance and confirm who pays each cost.
What happens if it rains, a typhoon approaches, or an attraction closes?
The guide will discuss adjusting the time, order, or destination based on safety, transport, and official attraction notices. Ordinary weather changes do not automatically mean cancellation. If the service genuinely cannot proceed, it will be handled according to the circumstances and cancellation policy. Never ask a guide to continue in unsafe conditions.
