is this the one wiht the kayaking inside?

You can consider this tour. It included kayaking in Halong Bay - a UNESCO World heritage site in the northeast of Vietnam. For this Extraordinary Vietnam Adventure Tour In 13 Days tour, kindly give me some while to check all activities and revise the quote for you.

what is the age level on this tour? When is the starting date? What is the fitness level expected?

This package includes an adventure trip 2 days 1 night at Tu Lan Cave Tour. Age: 16 - 70 years old. Fitness requirements include: Regularly participating in physical activities (such as yoga, swimming, hiking, running, stair climbing, gym). Ability to run 3 kilometres within 30 minutes or walk for 45 minutes. Ability to climb 5 floors continuously without shortness of breath or dizziness.

What is the reason for Max age 60 years? Is the Vespa Scooter driving is necessary? I do not care to drive or bike.

In response to your questions, you can join the Vespa tour, as each car will have its own driver. This tour is extremely interesting, and I strongly advise you to take it.

we are only 2 adults and a 2 years old kid, can the tour be reserved as a private only for the 3 of us?

It's an adventure tour with some activities such as biking, trekking and exploring the cave. It is very difficult to join this tour with a kid 2 years old. Would you like to do other tours, we have many tours for families that might meet your condition?
