What's this trip about?

    Discover the enchanting landscapes, colorful traditions, enticing cuisine, and genuinely friendly people of a remarkable country at the crossroads of past and future. During this memorable family adventure, ride bicycles past rice paddies and rural villages, and along the fertile shores of the Mekong Delta. Explore the warren of lanes in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, walk among the windswept ruins of My Son, paddle a boat along a palm-shaded canal, and zip through the streets of Saigon on a scooter. Kids will love the chance to team up for their very own scavenger hunt, learn to fish from a round basket-boat, practice the folk art of water puppetry, and create a traditional toy with new friends. Begin your discoveries in beautiful, ancient Hanoi, Vietnam’s reigning capital for a thousand years.
