Is there an option to add on flights from England (ideally Stansted or other London airport) and insurance?

Yes but it's cheaper if you book yourself.

are there any weather restriction or risk by going to Sapa?

There is no weather restriction or risk by going to Sapa. But February is Winter time and it can be cold there, maybe about 10 degrees Celsius.

Can you help us to organise a tour there? 2 Adults and 2 kids (12 and 13). We did it in Chiang Mai and having a local tour guide gave us better and cheaper hotel that booking.com or Agoda – and we had a fantastic time – cooking, rafting, trekking, temples, boat.. Can you please include: Budget hotel + breakfast, Train or bus, Camping is fine, But we want some fun activity – Happy to walk – 4 to 5 hours a day – Kayaking, cycle etc.. museum, shows etc.. Happy to be a group - but Budget is 500USD per pers for the whole trip. Can you help?

So in total you have 16 days for Vietnam this time. Do you want to spend 16 days for North Vietnam or you also want to see Center/South Vietnam?

we are interesting in a family holiday to Vietnam in April 2023. Children are aged 10 and 5. Places of interest are Hanoi, Halong Bay and Sapa. Activities of interest are overnight train, overnight cruise, kayaking and trekking. We would like a customised tour based on our dates and also as we are vegetarian.

Vegetatian foods are available for all tours above. You can visit Hanoi with 1 full day city tour, take overnight train and enjoy trekking for Sapa, then relax in Ninh Binh and on Halong Bay cruise.
