Family Tour of Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia is a wonderful destination for family travel, and this private tour features the best of the region, including extraordinary cultural sites, great food, fascinating cities, incredible hotels and resorts, and activities family members of all ages can enjoy.

Begin in Bangkok, Thailand, one of Asia’s great cities. During flexible touring with your private guide, explore the city according to your family’s interests. Some of our favorite family-friendly activities in Bangkok include riding a longtail boat through the canals to see how the locals live, listening to monks chanting at temples covered in sparkling tiles, attending a Thai puppet show or dance performance, learning about the Thai silk industry, or perhaps watching a muay thai (Thai kickboxing) tournament.

Next, fly to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, and stay at a luxurious resort built in traditional Thai style that has serene views of rice fields and mountains. With your private guide, visit the best local markets and tour interesting Buddhist temples, including one on top of a mountain. Perhaps ride on the back of an elephant, one of Thailand’s national symbols, during an excursion to an elephant training camp. During free time, enjoy your resort’s many facilities or opt for activities such as river rafting or hiking.

Continue by air to Siem Reap, Cambodia to explore incredible Angkor, the ruins of the ancient Khmer empire. With your private guide, tour the most interesting parts of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including Angkor Wat, an enormous temple city built as a model of the Hindu universe in stone; Angkor Thom, an ancient capital filled with iconic sites such as the Bayon, Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King; Ta Prohm temple, which the jungle seems to be devouring; and serene Preah Khan, originally a monastery and teaching center. Transfer through the countryside to Banteay Srei, a petite temple with elaborate carvings in pink sandstone, and visit other lesser-known temples according to your time and interests. Also, enjoy special activities customized to your family's interests, such as riding bikes among rice paddies, taking cooking classes, visiting orphanages and children's centers, touring local villages, taking photography excursions, visiting traditional Cambodian art training centers, and attending traditional Khmer dance performances.

Next, fly to Hong Kong, one of Asia’s most attractive and exciting cities. During touring with your expert private guide, take in Hong Kong’s spectacular skyline, beautiful harbors and beaches, superb restaurants, bustling markets and much more. See incredible skyscrapers in Central, ride the Peak Tram to the top of Hong Kong Island, tour interesting residential neighborhoods in the hills, dine on dim sum at teahouses, explore local markets to learn about traditional Chinese medicine and unusual food products, and ride in a traditional sampan boat across Aberdeen Harbor. Opt to visit Hong Kong Disneyland or Ocean Park, a favorite local theme park, or go for a hike together in the lush green hills of the New Territories. Throughout your stay in Hong Kong, enjoy unbeatable views across Victoria Harbor from your luxurious room in the city’s finest hotel.
