Last minute veg lunch

Day eight: grandparents wanted vegetarian lunch for a change, so we arranged one in an hour at HUM, a plant-filled heritage home.

/ tour description

A multi-generational trip to Vietnam in late December:

The family started in Hanoi with cool mornings and lantern-lit alleys, ate their way through the old quarter with our guide Hoa, and watched the grandmother (an explorer at heart) fall in love with a new city.

Then, an overnight cruise through Ha Long Bay — kayaks and caves for the kids, deck chairs and bay views for everyone else. Perfect for the whole family.

Next, two days of chill on Da Nang beach, a day trip to a silk village in Hoi An, where the designer daughter found the exact silk fabric she had been seeking out for months.

The family ended their journey in Ho Chi Minh, where the young musician son found his live music scene, and the elders (tired of all the non-veg by now) found comfort in a vegan restaurant that felt like a rainforest.

Eight days. Six people. One itinerary that somehow belonged to each of them.

/ design brief

(01)

The grandfather, who couldn't walk far – Wheelchair-accessible vans throughout. Every guide briefed in advance. Slow, private chauffeured sightseeing on the days he wanted to see the city without rushing.

(02)

The grandmother, who loves to explore – A three-hour street food walk through Hanoi with Hoa, our guide. The clip the family sent us afterwards of Saroja walking down a lantern-lit alley toward a hidden coffee spot, narrating where they are going to the camera still makes us smile.

(03)

The parents, who needed to not be in charge for once – Every logistics was handled so they didn’t have to be parents.

(04)

The 25-year-old fashion designer – A day to a silk village in Hoi An, where she met local silk weavers and serendipitously found the exact fabric she’s been seeking out for months: a silk dyed with natural resin to give it a feel of leather.

(05)

The 20-year-old musician – Live music spots were scouted in advance for Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.

/ testimonial

"In late 2024, my family and I travelled to Vietnam. AGRS planned our trip from end to end. From niche restaurant recommendations to interesting tours we had an off the beaten path kind of trip. I personally also loved the Silk village. AGRS took note of my being a designer and curated an itinerary suited to my tastes. Our collective favourite was a cruise we took in Ha Long Bay. It was scenic, beautiful and perfect for a big family. AGRS kept each of us in mind and made our family vacation truly personal."
