We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the tour and found it a phenomenal snapshot of Vietnam in just 10 days. Indeed, some travel time is necessary to reach the hidden gems across the country—but we're glad it was worth it! We understand that the historical city tour in Hanoi might not have been as engaging for your kids, and we truly appreciate the honesty. We'll take that into consideration for future family-oriented itineraries to ensure a more balanced experience for all ages. We hope to welcome your family back soon for more adventures in Asia!
