Hello! Our family, with children, are taking 2 days in the Tam Coc area, coming to and from Hanoi. It is best to self-direct or book a tour? We are normally NOT tour people as we have kids that need flexibility, but thinking it may just be easier to have it all planned for us? Any recommendations? ALSO, need great homestay ideas in that area! Thanks in advance!

If your family can use cycles then we found that the best way to get about and then perhaps a private driver for trips further afield. A didn’t have children with us so can’t comment on that aspect but we found the TamCoc Green Mountain homestay very good.
We’re going with a young child and we’re planning on doing it all ourselves and using bikes (provided by homestay) to get around. It’s a personal choice, but if you’re not tour people anyway, this looks like a very easy place to explore on your own.
It’s very easy to organise yourself.
Hi, Join a private, family-friendly cooking class and enjoy delicious Hanoi food together
If you book a private tour you will maintain full flexibility. We booked a few day trips just for our family ie ‘private’ and this allowed us to flex around kids (& our) needs
