It made travel to a completely foreign country so easy. Our every need was looked after and we had such a huge variety of activities.

The activities suited children and adults, were socially conscious and aware and the kids were constantly having fun while being immersed in a new culture. Lya was amazing and everything ran like clockwork. The timings at places were appropriate and the locations for meals were new culturally and delicious.

Hahn (Happy), the CEO of the trip was amazing. She went the extra mile to show us and explain everything. Super helpful, happy and positive at heart. We saw things that would be impossible to arrange ourselves. The composition of the group of families also could not be a better match.

It was better than we expected, our guide, Dom, was very conscientious about it being a family adventure. Everything was considered, we literally had to show up. Out son, who is 7, had an amazing time and cried when leaving our guide, the group and Vietnam. We saw so much more as part of a group and with much more localised knowledge from our guide, Dom.
