We booked a package family tour with HTS Tours and enjoyed it a lot. We landed in Ho Chi Minh City and undertook a day tour of the Cao Dia temple and the Cu Chi tunnels which the children really liked. We really enjoyed our family time in Nha Trang and the beach there is divine, and also there are so many places to see and things to do so we didn’t get to see everything. After flying to Hanoi we went on our cruise of Halong bay and the scenery, staff on the junk and the food provided were all first rate. All in all it was a delightful time for the family.
