Imagine trekking through lush rice terraces with your family, exploring hidden caves that most tourists never see, and navigating bustling local markets where vendors greet you like old friends. This is Vietnam beyond the tour bus—a country rich in history, culture, and natural beauty waiting to be discovered. But here’s the challenge: how do you plan an adventure that works for everyone in your family, from your curious toddler to your retired parents? That’s where private family trip design changes everything. Instead of squeezing your family into a rigid itinerary, we craft journeys that fit how you actually travel—at your pace, on your terms, discovering the real essence of this beautiful country.
What Makes Private Family Trip Design Different?
At Chôm Chôm Travel, adventure is not just a word we throw around—it’s our core purpose.
Our founder, Dorothée, is an adventurous mom who passionately believes that travel adventures don’t just end because you have kids. When she saw that she was already organizing unique itineraries for her family and friends—and no one else was catering to her needs—she decided to leave her corporate job and plan adventures full-time.
That’s the foundation of private family trip design: creating adventures that don’t compromise because you’re traveling with family. Instead, we help you create memories that will turn into family legends—the type of stories you’ll repeat for years to come, experiences that make you laugh and bond with each other.
The Private Family Trip Design Process: How We Create Your Adventure
Step 1: The 1:1 Consultation Call
Private family trip design starts with understanding your family.
During our consultation call, we ask many questions to create an experience crafted uniquely for you. We take great care to ensure that every member, from the youngest adventurer to the oldest explorer, has an enriching and enjoyable experience. We tailor our activities to suit different age groups, physical capabilities, and interests, making sure that everyone can share in the excitement of their trip.
Maybe you’re dreaming of a 20-day culinary adventure exploring Vietnam’s diverse food culture from north to south. Or perhaps slow travel in Buôn Ma Thuột appeals to you—immersing in the Central Highlands’ coffee culture without the rush. This isn’t about filling out a form. It’s about conversation—learning what matters to your family so we can design something meaningful.
Step 2: Crafting Your Off-Beaten Path Itinerary
Vietnam is a land of hidden treasures, and we take pride in sharing them with our travelers.
Our specialty lies in uncovering the hidden gems and off-beaten paths that most tourists miss. Whether it’s a secluded beach, a humble village, or a lesser-known cultural site, our adventure experts know where to find the most unique and authentic experiences for you.
How we do it: We spend an extensive amount of time on research, finding new routes, and fostering relationships with our partners, especially our local guides who are real experts in their hometown and are passionate about preserving their local culture and nature.
Our itineraries are designed to ignite your sense of adventure, whether you’re trekking through lush rice terraces, exploring hidden caves, or navigating the bustling streets of local markets throughout Vietnam—from the energy of Saigon to the peaceful highlands. Each trip invites you to step off the beaten path and discover the real essence of this beautiful country we call home.
We’ve crafted some of the top family-friendly adventure routes in Vietnam, designed specifically for multi-generational travel. We promise to show you a side of Vietnam that is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty that other tour companies won’t show you.
Step 3: Saying “No” to Rushed Travel
Here’s what makes our private family trip design approach different: we know what not to include.
We say “No” to:
- Sightseeing only
- Packed schedules that exhaust everyone
Here’s why: You may at least once make this mistake when traveling—trying to reach as many destinations in one trip. No matter if it’s for kids or adults, not only will you be exhausted from the long traveling distance, but Vietnam has so much more to offer.
What’s the point of traveling when you should have created unforgettable memories with your loved ones and understood the people and culture of a destination, but are busy running after a packed schedule instead?
Slow travel is what makes your journey more meaningful. That’s why destinations like Buôn Ma Thuột—where you can spend days exploring coffee plantations, connecting with local communities, and truly absorbing the Central Highlands culture—become highlights of our family-friendly adventure routes.
