Real numbers from trips we’ve already run
Most families who write to us have one person who sets the pace: a toddler who still naps, or a grandparent who finds stairs hard. We plan every day around that person, and the rest of the family enjoys the trip more for it.
We time the car rides for nap time and keep outdoor plans for before 11 and after 3:30, when it’s cooler. Cots and high chairs are booked with the hotel before you land.
In Da Nang and Hoi An, a babysitter on request, so parents get an evening out.
Hotels with lifts. Boats, cyclos and electric carts instead of long walks. A seat in the shade and a cold drink every hour or so.
If a place has too many steps, we tell you before you book. Using a wheelchair? Tell us early and we check every hotel and site for you.
One private van, rooms close together and a table booked for everyone at dinner. One trip planner keeps the whole group in the loop, so nobody is chasing messages.
Vegetarian, halal, allergies, less spicy for the kids: tell us once and we pass it on to every restaurant we book. After a long day, a foot massage or herbal foot soak can be added.
If anyone feels unwell, we help you get to a clinic and reshape the day.
On a longer trip it happens: someone is tired, a child has a temperature, it pours with rain. Send your trip planner a message and we reshape the day the same morning. Your driver waits, the visit moves to tomorrow, nobody has to push through.
Our guides are chosen for their patience with little ones and grandparents, and our team answers in English, 24/7.
An example of a typical morning message
In 10+ years of guiding across Vietnam, we kept noticing the same thing: tours were planned for fit adults, and families had to squeeze in around them.
That’s not how we travel at home. We grew up in homes where grandparents, parents and children share one roof and one table. When our own relatives visit, we slow down, eat well and make sure everyone is comfortable. So we started Vietnam Haven to plan family holidays in Vietnam the same way: every day built around your family, from nap times to Grandpa’s knees.
We were kids here once, tagging along with our grandparents. Now we’d love to share Vietnam with your family, the way ours lives it every day.
Vietnam Haven Travel (VN Haven) is a Da Nang-based travel company planning private Vietnam family tours for families with young children, grandparents and senior travellers.
We’d love to share Vietnam with your family, the way ours lives it every day.
Each journey here was planned by our trip planners for a real family and travelled by them, from a toddler’s first night train to a grandmother of 84 on the Golden Bridge. Start from one, or tell us your own ideas.

More about us
While you travel, Mia’s team looks after the logistics behind the scenes: transfers, hotel check-ins and any last-minute changes. One WhatsApp message, day or night.
After the trip, this is what stays with them: grandparents who didn’t feel rushed, kids who didn’t melt down, and parents who finally rested.

I went out to 3 or 4 companies but you stood out as truly understanding our specific requirements regarding travel with kids and my daughter’s diet. You told us not just what to do, but also what you’d recommend we don’t do, and why.
I planned this trip right after finishing my cancer treatment, and this team was a complete lifesaver. Helen took care of 100% of everything, and what touched my heart most was how they looked after my health, even arranging a gentle private yoga session.
Hi Nina. I congratulate you on recommending the seafood restaurant on the lagoon. We’ve eaten seafood all around the world and this experience totally blew us away. Thank you for making our journey to Hue amazing.

Free trip planning, just the pieces you need, or a complete Vietnam tour package for families. Whichever you choose, it's private and paced for you.
A free custom plan, with no booking required.
Book only what you need: private cars, family hotels, day trips or a babysitter.
We arrange the whole trip, with a local guide on your tour days and our team looking after the details behind the scenes.
Answers from our trip planners to what families ask us before they book.
Ask a trip planner directly. We reply within one business day.
Ask usYes. Vietnam is a very welcoming country for families, and violent crime against visitors is rare. The real risks are traffic, heat and uneven pavements, so we use private cars, plan outdoor time for the cooler hours and choose flat, shaded routes. Read: Is Vietnam safe?
As little as your family needs. We keep walking to short, flat stretches, with electric carts, cyclos or boats wherever they exist, and a seat nearby at every stop.
Yes. Tell us your children's ages when you book and we'll ask each hotel for cots and high chairs. We plan stroller-friendly routes where we can, and let you know the few places where a baby carrier is easier.
Yes, on request. We can arrange a trusted local babysitter to look after the little ones, so parents and grandparents get some time to themselves. Tell us your children's ages and when you'd like help, and we'll confirm availability and the rate with your quote. Read: babysitters in Hoi An & Da Nang
February to April is the easiest time to travel the whole country, with mild temperatures north to south. Central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue) is also lovely until August, but it rains heavily from October to December. We'll suggest the right route for your dates.
We start early, head back to the hotel for a rest between late morning and mid-afternoon, and plan the next outing for late afternoon. Our cars carry water, and we choose shaded and indoor stops in the hottest months.
Yes. We check hotels for lifts, step-free rooms and bathroom access before we book, and plan wheelchair-friendly routes where possible. Some heritage sites have steps; we'll tell you which ones and suggest alternatives.
Message our 24/7 team and we'll adjust the day, with more rest or an easier plan. If anyone needs to see a doctor, we'll help you get to a clinic or hospital.
Every trip is private and priced for your whole family, not per seat. As a guide, our 10-day Hanoi to Hoi An journey starts from $830 for a family of four (land only), and every day trip is priced per family, not per person. Your first plan and quote are free.
We send a free plan and quote first. To confirm, you pay a 30% deposit; the rest is due 30 days before you arrive. Plans can be changed free up to 30 days before travel, and cancellations more than 30 days ahead get the deposit back, minus bank fees.
Both. We have sample Vietnam family tour packages you can book as they are, and every one can be adjusted to your family's ages, pace and dates.
Your first plan is free. Tell us about everyone travelling, and one of our trip planners will reply within one business day.
Share who's travelling and anything we should know. We'll start shaping a plan from the littlest traveller to the eldest.
EHPYour plan comes from Nina, Ethan, Helen or Paul, whoever knows your route best.
