Vietnam Samurai
Handcrafted Vietnam tours by people who actually live here. The real Vietnam — no tourist clichés.
We live in Vietnam and guide the groups ourselves — no middlemen, no coach for forty people, no «free time» standing in for a programme. For New Year we take one group and travel with it: eleven days, five nights by the sea and five among the pines at fifteen hundred metres. A gala dinner and a beach festival on New Year's Eve, a water show with fireworks, diving off An Thoi, your own coffee blend and a cup you throw with your own hands.
Different routes — different paces, one passion. Choose the one that fits your rhythm.
Vietnam Samurai tours start from $1,465 for a short weekend escape.
We are the Vietnam Samurai team, and we don't just run tours. We reveal the Vietnam that only those who live here truly know.
Every route is crafted by people who have traveled these roads themselves, slept in these villages, tasted street food at dawn, and climbed peaks no tourist bus ever reaches.
We don't resell other people's itineraries. We build every journey the way we'd travel ourselves — with discovery, emotion, and moments that stay forever.
In Vietnam since 2019. Before that he lived and worked in China and the Philippines, so he knows what starting from scratch in a foreign country takes. Founded Best Border Bus, which has served over 6,000 people. He builds routes the way he travels himself.
She started with businesses of her own: opened a venue in Moscow and launched a candle brand. Then she moved into B2B sales and marketing, working with e-commerce and SaaS products. In October 2025 she flew to Vietnam and now builds Samurai together with Sergei. She created the brand's visual identity and is responsible for how guests see Samurai, from the website to the last day of the trip. She has put together a strong team that looks after you every step of the way.
Routes built on the principles of sustainable tourism (GSTC, VITA Green). Official certification is planned.
Before the tours came the visa business. Sergei Ivanov founded Best Border Bus in 2022 — a company that helps with visa processing and visa run trips for those living in Vietnam.
Over the years we've served more than 6,000 clients. That experience — knowing the country, the logistics, the people, the nuances — became the foundation for Vietnam Samurai tours.
