Kids will enjoy the full-scale replicas of ethnic groups’ typical stilt houses in the museum’s garden.
We head next to one of Vietnam’s most impressive structures, the ancient Temple of Literature, standing since 1076 and acting as the first university in Vietnam. This highly prestigious establishment taught the philosophies of Confucius and only accepted the very brightest minds from around the country.
Lunch will follow this at about midday, after which we will take the drive to Bat Trang ceramic village, one of the many artisan villages just outside of the capital.

The gorgeously rustic walls and low-tiled roofs of Hoi An tell a thousand stories from the port town’s heyday in the 15th century, when it was one of the major stops on the maritime silk road between Europe and China. We will meander through the town’s beautiful streets, finding heritage in abundance at some of the 21 official attractions throughout the centre, including a Chinese assembly hall, museum, historic merchant’s house and the town’s iconic Japanese Covered Bridge.

Day 6 Hoi An Free Day
There are a wealth of things to do in Hoi An for families. You can plan them over breakfast amid the town’s stunning tropical backdrop.
One such activity involves a full-day tour of the Cham Islands, lying about 16km off the coast of Hoi An and containing some of its most idyllic island scenery, viewable via swimming, snorkelling and relaxing on the beach. Another idea is to let the kids run wild at Tra Que, a village growing 100% organic crops and running eco-tours, where children and adults are taught how employ traditional Vietnamese farming methods. This is topped off with a water buffalo ride while it ploughs the field – an immediate favourite with kids. There are many optional tours to choose from to meet your family's needs or free time at leisure. Overnight in Hoi An

Day 7 Hoi An - Fly to Ho Chi Minh city
Soak up the last of the pleasant aura of Hoi An over breakfast, our driver will be along shortly to transfer you to Danang airport for your domestic flight to Ho Chi Minh City. Upon arrival, meet your guide & driver for the private transfer to your hotel in the city center.
You will have free time from now in which to discover the metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City, universally known as Saigon until North Vietnamese troops crashed the gates of the Independence Palace, reuniting the country. On a walking tour here, you can find the War Remnants Museum and Jade Emperor Pagoda, or instead, take the kids to Suoi Tien Amusement Park, a fantastically bizarre Buddhist-themed water park.

Day 8 Ho Chi Minh city Half-day tour
Have breakfast at your hotel as the family gets ready for the day.
The walking tour shows you some of the ancient sites of Ho Chi Minh City and how the various layers of Vietnam’s history have been built around and on top of them. We start at the Independence Palace where the Vietnam War came to a close, followed by a look around the French colonial Notre Dame Cathedral and neighbouring Old Post Office. We finish at Ben Thanh Market, Ho Chi Minh City’s ancient centre of bargaining that still takes prime position in the city today.
You can of course spend your free time today in any way you wish, but one suggestion would be to head to the Saigon Skydeck, where views of the city and the Saigon River stretch for miles around. The Skydeck is located close to Nguyen Hue walking street, a 650-metre strip that bursts to life on weekend evenings with lively performances and a very inviting atmosphere. Overnight in Saigon

Day 9 Mekong Delta Full Day tour
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel. Our guide and driver will collect you for your transfer to the mystical Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s most ancient inhabited land. Humans first flocked to this area because of its fertile soil, which is evident in our destination, the province of Ben Tre, which is rich in coconut trees and wonderfully wild and tropical foliage.
After we have arrived in Ben Tre, we embark on a long-tail boat to saunter along its river, taking in the panoramic sights of its untamed beauty. We will dock on land and take a tour around the splendid fruit orchards and expansive paddy fields to be found here, visiting some of the traditional trades that have been present here for centuries. A visit to a brickworks, mat-weaving factory and coconut candy processing plant will provide us with an insight into the livelihoods of the locals.
We continue onto a quaint village where rural Vietnam’s gorgeously tranquil lifestyle becomes ever more apparent. We can try some of the juicy tropical fruits around here and take a motorised rickshaw called a xe lôi, or a short cycle, under the shade of rows of palm trees to a riverside restaurant.
We have lunch and then jump into another sampan boat for a fantastic cruise through verdant canals, flanked on both sides by overarching nipa palm and other tropical foliage. This will be a magical final experience for you and your family on this tour. End the tour at your hotel. Overnight in Saigon
