Hanoi and the bay: stories, streets and a night inside the scenery. Water puppets turn a traditional art into a colourful family evening. A cyclo offers the Old Quarter at a gentler pace; an overnight cruise brings sunset on deck and a cabin with the bay outside. Browse our Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay cruises for the cabin style you prefer.
Southern Vietnam: history you can choose, waterways you can feel. Your journey includes Cu Chi; tunnel entry is optional. The journey brings you into Ben Tre’s coconut gardens and local waterways on a day trip, returning to the same city hotel. A homestay extension is available if a night with local hosts is the experience you want.
Angkor: discover the detail, take a break, enjoy the moment. Follow Bayon’s smiling faces, Ta Prohm’s tree roots and Angkor Wat’s galleries with a regional guide. Split the day with lunch and shade. Village crafts, markets or a suitable Tonle Sap outing add life beyond the temples.
Choose three-, four- or five-star hotels, rooms that suit the children’s ages and pool time where it matters. Private road transfers and local English-speaking guides serve the listed guided days; the overnight cruise is shared, with its own cabin and activities. Selected small-group excursions can be quoted as an alternative when you want a more sociable day.
Shorten a temple walk and tailor sensitive history visits for the children. Your free days are truly free: there is no compulsory guide or vehicle call-out. We can arrange an extra activity or a relaxed dinner when you want one.

November to April often offers a useful starting window for the two-country journey, with cooler northern weather at part of that time. For April, midyear or December–January school holidays, we choose the cruise, outdoor hours and hotel bases around regional conditions rather than one weather rule for every stop.
