This 5-day tour covered so much in a short time! Hanoi was exciting, with its busy streets and delicious food—our guide took us to some hidden gems for pho and banh cuon. Ha Long Bay was magical, especially the overnight cruise where we enjoyed a sunset on the deck. Ninh Binh felt like a peaceful escape, with stunning rice fields and dramatic limestone cliffs. Everything was well-arranged, and we never had to worry about transport or logistics. If you’re looking for a well-rounded Vietnam experience with history, nature, and culture, this tour is a must!
- Budget Vietnam Family Holiday from Hanoi to Halong Bay, Da Nang, Hoi An, Saigon and Mekong Delta
Traveling with kids can be tricky, but this tour made everything so easy and enjoyable! From airport pickups to comfortable hotels and great local meals, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Hanoi was busy but exciting—our guide showed us hidden gems and helped us navigate the street food scene. Ha Long Bay was like a dream, with calm waters and beautiful caves to explore. The kids loved swimming and kayaking! In central Vietnam, we relaxed on Da Nang’s beaches and wandered through Hoi An’s charming streets. Saigon was a mix of modern and traditional, and the War Remnants Museum gave us a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s history. The Mekong Delta was such a peaceful experience—floating past stilt houses and watching daily river life unfold. Highly recommend this tour for families wanting an affordable but well-planned Vietnam trip!
Tour was fantastic with many included World Heritage sights !
