Hi, We are 2 adults and 1 teenager (13 years old). We are thinking the Best of Northern Vietnam 6 days. I have never done a tour company before but thought that may be a good way to have it go very smooth for us. I have a few questions...1) How does it work since our son is an adult for paying but still our child with hotel rooms and needing to be with us? Are there rooms that fit all 3 of us with beds? 2) What is the maximum size of the small group? 3) Is the private tour just the three of us if we choose to do that and we have our own transportation? 4) Can you tell me more about the difference between the Superior 3 and the First Class 4? 5) After Sin Chai Village at the base of Fansipan Mountain, will we go to the Ham Rong Park? Will we see the O Quy Ho Mountain Pass? 6) How many people does the limousine fit on the 5 hour ride back to Hanoi? I appreciate your help and look very forward to learning the extra information and price quote.

Purtell 04/08/2022

Hi, interested in a family tour in Vietnam for 7-8 days. I see you have this tour but it ends in Halong which is not ideal - we would want to end in Hanoi. Can you please confirm what options you have? Could you please also confirm: - when we book twin rooms, are we ensured to be together (at least one adult and one child)? I would assume so. - what are the rates for adult versus children (our kids are 8 and 10)? Thank you

Thank you so much for your interest in our services.

Further to your request, I would like to send a customized family trip to North Vietnam in 7 days/ 6 nights just for you. In this program, I would include the visit of Bat Trang pottery village and leisure walk in the mountainous area of Mai Châu, which are highly recommended to families with children and received great feedback from our other customers.

And yes, if you book twin rooms, I will take note to hotels, to make sure your family have room as closer as possible (next doors/ opposite doors).

Here below is our Children Policy:
