Travel Review: Customized 3 Week Family Vacation to Vietnam

Thankfully, we were able to make changes during the trip. Towards the end, we were all getting tired, so decided to skip Ho Chi Minh City. After talking to travelers along the way, no one we talked to had been enthusiastic about the CuChiTunnels or the city of Saigon. Suzie and Minh were able to adjust our last few days of travel so we could spend an extra day in the Mekong Delta, instead of traveling for hours between HCMC, the tunnels and the Delta.

I'm not sure if I would recommend making the trip to Sapa. It is a beautiful place, but it takes a long time to get there and get back. Once you are there, you are continually HOUNDED by the local tribal people, so you have to be prepared for that. If you want to see that area, I would probably stay at Bac Ha instead..

And more time on Halong Bay and Hoi An!
