Vietnam Family Tour - Taking the family to a foreign country can be a little daunting.  However if you take advantage of years of experience from companies that specialise in family tours it is easy for your family to explore countries such as Vietnam.  You'll travel in a small group of 3 or 4 families and have your own English speaking guide and transport.

The Vietnamese love children and will treat your kids like mini celebrities, they are generous, caring and fun loving people.  Its a cultural experience not to be missed. 

Starting in busy, bright and bustling Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), visit Reunification Palace and the fascinating Notre Dame Cathedral. Crawl through the Cu Chi Tunnels and journey down the Mekong Delta, passing colourful floating markets. On a small island in the delta, we spend a night in a homestay with a local family – a real highlight.

Head to the laid-back beach town of Nha Trang and explore the offshore islands by boat and snorkel amongst the colourful coral in the warm waters of the South China Sea. 

Explore ancient Hoi An and the charming northern capital, Hanoi, before heading to spectacular Halong Bay, where the rugged limestone pinnacles and grottoes combine to make up one of the world's most recognisable landscapes.

This exciting 14 day family adventure starts at just $1881 Adult and $1817 for children (excluding flights from Australia)  2 or 3 departures leave every month.
