From idea to itinerary in just minutes
Five simple steps to a well-planned Vietnam trip — from your first conversation with the AI to the memories you share with the community afterwards.
Tell the AI about your trip
Imagine texting a close friend who knows Vietnam travel inside out. No forms, no dropdowns — just talk naturally. For example: “I want to spend 5 days in Ha Giang at the end of October, I love scenery and ethnic culture, budget around $200, travelling by motorbike.” The AI immediately understands the context and starts building a suitable itinerary.
You can add more details such as how many people are coming, food preferences (vegetarian, street food lover, no seafood), travel style (backpacking, family, couple, relaxed or action-packed) and how much travel per day you can handle. The more you share, the closer the itinerary gets to what you really want.
Tip: Add real-world constraints like “I get carsick” or “we have a 2-year-old” so the AI adjusts the pace and picks suitable transport.
The AI analyses and suggests an itinerary
As soon as you send your request, the AI weighs many factors at once: seasonal weather at the destination, local festivals and events during your dates, real distances between places, opening hours of attractions and how busy they get (to avoid peak crowds). Across Vietnam’s 34 provinces and cities, the AI has region-specific data.
The itinerary is streamed back — you see each day appear immediately instead of waiting for the full result. Each day includes sights ordered along a sensible route, breakfast/lunch/dinner suggestions with specific eateries and prices, accommodation options for your budget, and practical notes such as “book cable-car tickets a week ahead in peak season”.
Tip: The AI itinerary is not the final version — it’s a starting point for you to refine. Think of it as a smart first draft.
Refine it with the AI
Once you have a first itinerary, keep chatting with the AI to adjust it. “Day 3 has too much travel, drop one stop” — the AI restructures that day. “Add an evening of traditional performing arts” — the AI suggests suitable local options. Every edit is handled in the context of the whole trip.
You can also draw on the community: “Find me the best-rated cafés with a view in Da Lat” or “Is there a guide who specialises in Hoi An’s old town?”. The AI pulls together suggestions from the real trips of thousands of travellers who went before you.
Tip: Ask it to “compare option A and B” and the AI will produce two versions of the itinerary and weigh the pros and cons of each.
Share it with the community
A finished itinerary can be shared with different privacy levels: public for the whole community to see and learn from, via a private link for your travel group, or kept private for yourself. For public itineraries, add hashtags for the destination, season and travel style so like-minded travellers can find it.
The community can comment, ask questions and save your itinerary to their own collections. You get notified when someone reposts or comments — the most natural way to build a reputation as a “travel curator” in the TravelViet community.
Tip: Itineraries with real photos and detailed notes typically get 3–5× more engagement than those listing places only.
Hit the road and share what really happened
During the trip, the app travels with you — open each day’s plan, tick off places you’ve visited, take photos and attach them straight to the itinerary. If plans change unexpectedly (bad weather, a better find), you can update the real itinerary on your phone and note what changed.
After the trip, you’ll be reminded to write a short review of each place you visited — the most valuable contribution to the community, because it is the freshest first-hand information. These reviews feed into the AI’s data, making other people’s future itineraries more and more accurate.
Tip: Turn on “Live trip journal” before you leave so GPS records your actual route — you’ll come home with a detailed map of the whole trip.
What travellers say about TravelViet
It used to take me a whole week to plan 10 days in the Northwest. With TravelViet I had a detailed itinerary in 20 minutes and only needed a few tweaks. The trip was better than any I’ve planned on my own.

What I love most is that the AI understood I was travelling with small kids — it avoided long hikes and suggested hotels with a children’s pool. No app had ever done that for me before.

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI plan trips to lesser-known provinces?
Yes. The AI is trained on data from all 34 provinces and cities, including lesser-known destinations like Lai Chau, Cao Bang, Vinh Long and Tay Ninh. Data from the community of local guides is especially helpful for provinces that rarely appear on mainstream travel blogs.
Is the information in AI itineraries kept up to date?
The AI combines regularly refreshed data with first-hand contributions from the community. Still, for time-sensitive details such as opening hours or ticket prices, please double-check before you go, especially around public holidays and Tết.
Can I use my itinerary offline?
With the Pro plan you can export itineraries to PDF for offline use. Area maps can also be downloaded in advance in the mobile app, including place pins and routes — useful where mobile coverage is patchy.
