A Heartwarming Vietnam Journey: Kshitij’s Thrillophilia Trip Review
Travelling as a family of six brings its own energy. There was forty two year old Kshitij Sinha, his mother Rekha who was seventy three, and two close friends, Thresia Jacob and Bhavya Rai. The youngest travellers were Aarna, aged fourteen, and Rajvika, aged eight. With two children, two adults and a senior member in the group, the trip needed careful planning. Kshitij wanted everyone to feel comfortable, especially his mother. The children wanted fun and new places to explore. Thresia and Bhavya wanted simple, stress free travel where they could enjoy the culture and scenery.
When the idea of Vietnam came up, Rekha smiled gently and said, “As long as you walk slowly with me, I will go anywhere.”
Aarna added, “And as long as there is good food, I am happy.”
Rajvika clapped and said, “I only want a beach.”
The whole room laughed, and the plan started feeling real.
Booking through Thrillophilia made everything easier. The team helped them shape the itinerary. They answered every question clearly, suggested what would suit a mixed age group, and prepared a schedule that balanced adventure with comfort. Kshitij felt confident that the arrangements would keep everyone safe and relaxed.
Hanoi and the Joy of Slow Exploration
Their journey began in Hanoi, as shown in the itinerary . The private SUV transfer made it easy for Rekha to settle after the flight. The hotel check in was quick, and after some rest, the family headed out for a half day city tour.
The Temple of Literature impressed everyone. Bhavya said, “I did not imagine Hanoi would feel this peaceful.”
Rekha looked around slowly and added, “This place reminds me of old stories. It has dignity.”
The Old Quarter brought a different energy. The children loved watching the busy streets, local shops and small food stalls. The guide stayed patient, letting the family take their time.
The next day, Thrillophilia's Vietnam tour package took them to Ninh Binh. The open green fields and quiet river made Rekha feel at ease. The boat ride became one of her favourite experiences. She held the edges of the boat gently and told Kshitij, “This is the kind of calm my heart understands.” Aarna and Rajvika fed ducks near the banks, while the adults clicked pictures. The day felt light and comforting.
Halong Bay: A View That Stays Forever
The Halong Bay cruise was one of the biggest highlights, as listed in the quotation . Boarding the cruise felt special for all six of them. The limestone cliffs rose from the water. The wind moved gently. The rooms on the cruise were comfortable and the staff treated the family kindly.
As they stood on the deck during sunset, Rekha whispered, “I never thought I would see something like this in my lifetime.”
Kshitij placed his hand on hers and replied, “You deserve to see beauty like this.”
The children enjoyed watching the boats pass by. Bhavya and Thresia sat together, taking in the view in silence. The peacefulness of the bay settled over the whole group. The overnight stay on the water became a memory they knew they would talk about long after the trip was over.
Da Nang and the Delight of Discovery
The next part of the journey took them back to Hanoi and then on a flight to Da Nang. The smooth transfers made the travel easy for the senior members and the children. Ba Na Hills turned out to be a favourite for everyone. The Golden Bridge looked stunning and made Rekha pause. She said, “I saw this place in pictures. I never imagined I would stand here myself.”
Aarna and Rajvika loved the cable cars and the open spaces. They ran ahead at times, then ran back to hold their grandmother’s hand. Thresia said, “This is the kind of place where children get excited and adults feel peaceful.” The gardens, soft music and open views created a slow, relaxed day.
Phu Quoc: Beaches, Fun and Family Time
Phu Quoc brought a different mood to the trip. The island looked bright and cheerful. The itinerary covered Grand World, VinWonders and Vin Safari . The children loved these days the most. Vin Safari made them giggle at the animals. VinWonders kept them entertained with rides and shows.
Rekha preferred the slower areas of the park, sitting on benches while the others explored. She told Bhavya, “The younger ones should enjoy everything. I am happy watching them.”
Aarna hugged her and said, “You are still part of the fun.”
The cable car ride over the sea became another memorable moment. The clear water below and the long stretch of islands made the family fall quiet for a few seconds. Even the children were impressed.
A Warm Goodbye in Ho Chi Minh
The last part of the journey brought them to Ho Chi Minh City. The activity for the day, including Bitexco Tower and the Saigon River cruise, matched the itinerary . The city had a lively atmosphere. The night cruise created a nice ending to the trip. Lights reflected on the water. Soft music played. The family sat together, sharing small conversations.
Rekha said, “This is a beautiful ending to a beautiful trip.”
Kshitij replied, “I am glad you came.”
The final morning included a relaxed city tour before departure. The advisory about booking flights after 7 PM gave them enough time to enjoy the last hours without rush.
A Trip Full of Memories
Looking back, the whole journey went smoothly because of the arrangements. The drivers were kind, the guides were patient and the support from Thrillophilia remained steady throughout. For the children, it was a trip full of excitement. For the adults, it was a break from daily life. For Rekha, it was a gift from her son. For Kshitij, it was time well spent with the people he cared about.
The trip became more than travel. It became a memory that the family would hold close for years.
