Classic Family Holiday in Vietnam Bespoke Holiday Itinerary / Experience Tour

Day 1 depart the uk

Depart the UK on an overnight flight to Hanoi.

Day 2, 3

Arrive in Hanoi, one of Asia’s most exciting cities – a real Asian mixture of old world charm and modern bustle. A guide will show you around the city, with a cyclo tour to keep the children entertained and tickets to the famous water puppets.

Days 4, 5

Transfer to the stunning Halong Bay where you’ll board a small junk for an overnight adventure, cruising around the dramatic scenery of limestone karsts. Beautiful lagoons, beaches and caves can all be explored, some even by kayak. Your home afloat is the Red Dragon which has just five cabins (two of which interconnect which is a great option for families).  At the end of day five you will board an overnight train, in a private cabin, on your journey to Hue.

Days 6, 7

Hue has a young vibrant feel, but is quite small and quiet so it is easy to explore. It’s home to the great ruins of Hue, including the citadel and imperial city. If a guided tour sounds dangerously educational for some members of the party, time just wandering around or visiting a nearby national park could be a good alternative.

 Day 8, 9, 10 and 11

The journey between Hue and Hoi An is amazing – the road has phenomenal views and the coastline is really beautiful, particularly over the Cloudy Pass. The journey to your hotel takes 3.5 hours; once here you'll spend the next few days exploring under your own steam. You can take it easy - this location is ideal for the beach - or you can include numerous tours, such as cycling around the countryside or attending a family friendly cooking school.

Days 12, 13, 14

An early morning flight down to hectic Ho Chi Minh city where you can spend your final few days exploring the Mekong Delta, a completely contrasting way of life to the mountainous north.  For something completely different - hugely popular among Asian families - try a visit to a nearby waterpark. Some time for last minute souvenir shopping and then either a day or overnight flight back to the UK.
