Summary
Gifted with a staggering abundance of flavourful food, fascinating culture, untouched nature, and disarmingly friendly people, Vietnam has more than earned its rep as one of the world’s most popular travel destinations. This fun-focused family trip packs as much of the good stuff into 12 days as humanly possible – including cruising Halong Bay, exploring the Imperial Citadel, and even a boat trip to a floating market – yet still offers more than enough time to relax. Don’t forget to pack your smile; you’ll be needing it often here.

Customer reviews & ratings
We did so much but it always felt like we had our own time and space. Well organized. Great choice of accommodation. Excellent CEO
Darren Aug, 2025 VerifiedA great adventure! My son was very sceptical on his arrival, but he really enjoyed himself - he tried the food and enjoyed the activities with the other kids. It was a wonderful way to experience the very vibrant, chaotic stimulating country that is Vietnam! Great organisation for the entire tour and a wonderful CEO.
