Take the family into the ricefields and over the rapids near Ubud, pedal on an exhilarating bike ride past rural villages, kick back on the beaches at Amed then head to Sanur for a taste of the upmarket holiday life on an island holiday with all the trimmings.

The Inside Vietnam trip was very comprehensive, covering from North to South of the Country. Accommodation was excellent, and internal travel was good. But would have loved to spend another night at the homestay, which was very relaxing by the river and nearby local villages, amidst the full on pace of the trip. And less time in Hanoi and Saigon, which was very busy and crowded.
