Our family tours in Vietnam were pioneered close to ground in the early 90's through our adventure wing, VeloAsia. Vietnam may be a challenging place to travel with kids, but with our long experience, local knowledge, meticulous planning, and in-country offices, your trip will not only be a smooth one, but educational and fun. We've escorted kids of all ages, organizing custom biking, kayaking, light trekking, camping out in hilltribe villages, with unique activities such as planting rice and private artist encounters where your children will learn hands-on how to produce traditional lacquer paintings. Our staff, and in fact you'll discover almost all Vietnamese are, "kid crazy" and your children will enjoy one of the most remarkable trips they've ever had.
If you've traveled with A&K or B&R before, consider us for our geographic focus and long experience in the region, not to mention the far better value. Contact us for detailed information about a family adventure in Vietnam.
We went on the Vietnam Trip last year with our two boys age 8 and 11. What a great trip! We were stunned by the fantastic Vietnamese people, the wonderful views, the terrific food and the stellar way our trip was assembled. This was truly one of our best family vacations.

Duncan's Vietnam Diary, December 2012
Read about Duncan's surprise 12th birthday trip during December, 2011 with his father and grandmother traveling from Hanoi through the central coast, meeting with families, exploring small villages, schools, and enjoying Vietnam's culinary treats along the way.
Hanoi currently enjoys one of the most vigorous emerging art scenes in the world and we can arrange private meetings with many of the country's top artists, engaging in interesting activities for children such as a hands-on learning about how traditional lacquer is made working on actual pieces of artists (left).
Our most popular family destination, Halong Bay was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. The thousands of limestone peaks create a natural barrier to the wind-blown waters of the South China Sea and a a karst wonderland that was a favorite hiding place for pirates (and the James Bond villain in Man with the Golden Gun). These calm waters are wonderfully suited for kayaking.
Our Mekong tour travels some of the quietest back roads in the country, with frequent side trips by the delta's primary mode of transport — sampan (boat). Drift in small sampan through bustling market places and riverfront villages, stopping into homes, cottage industries, and crafts villages, along the way. Cycling through the bustling markets is always a highlight...
Vietnam is one of the safest and certainly the most interesting destinations in the world — and the perfect place for a family outdoor vacation. Since 1992, we have organized active two-week trips, unique one-time offerings and shorter tours for those with limited time through our adventure outfit VeloAsia. Most importantly, almost all of our trips are private, custom ones planned to the unique preferences of our travelers.
Asia is rising and over the last decade China and Vietnam have had the most dynamic economies in the world. A watershed moment for Vietnam was the 2010 opening of an Intel's billion-dollar plant in Ho Chi Minh City, Intel's largest plant to date. In Hanoi and Saigon, we'll organize meetings with students in their classrooms and young entrepreneurs for your older children to understand firsthand the human element of these growing economies. We specialize in tech startups, but can arrange meetings in almost any industry from manufacturing, agro products (Vietnam is now the world's second largest producer of coffee beans), to design.
As No Reservation's Anthony Bourdain points out, there's no better place to travel by your stomach than Vietnam, a place inhabited by "a skinny people obsessed with food." Vietnam offers delightful adventures in cuisine, from fruit carving with your chef on Halong Bay, to a "Iron Chef" cook-off between family members in Hoi An who must hunt and prepare Vietnamese dishes such as Banh Xeo, a Vietnamese crepe, for a hard-to-please panel of local judges.
