From the Delta to the DMZ
Do you have a broad or very specific interest in military and battlefield history in Vietnam? We can tailor experiences to any former military Corps from Con Thien and Khe Sanh to Can Tho. Do you want a highlight experience across the country? Perhaps you're looking for an in depth experience of a particular Corps, an extended insight experience of a particular battlefield or to visit any one of the hundreds of former military bases? Would you like to visit some of the best kept wartime secrets in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) or the hidden bases in the vast murky mangrove swamplands on Saigon's doorstep?
Perhaps the fresh air of the wild western highlands, once home of many remote and rugged camps, is more your cup of tea (or coffee!). We have a VAST array of data, knowledge and research experience that guarantees you we will be able to guide you to any region, site, location or battlefield that you wish to visit. From the biggest battlefield to the most remote outpost. Contact us to discuss your needs and allow us to assist you to put together an itinerary to suit your time, budget and needs.
The Ancient and Scenic North
While most allied forces operated in the south, there is no shortage of significant military and historic sites worth visiting in the north of Vietnam. Hanoi hosts many interesting sites from the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, Hoa Lo Prison (aka Hanoi Hilton), sties of shot down US aircraft disasters, and the Thang Long ancient citadel from nearby where the northern leadership planned the war effort against the US allies and southern government. From Hanoi there are countless short journeys possible to legendary colonial era battlefields, and further afield into more remote Viet Minh sanctuaries. An area we particularly love visitng is the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park with its stunning karst scenery and caves, as well as incredible revolutionary history at the crossroads of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. In the northwest Dien Bien Phu was the scene of the siege that ended the First Indochina war. The northern frontier was once the site of the endless arm-wrestle for sovereignty against the Chinese. To the east the spectacular Ha Long Bay - no visit would be complete without understanding the significance of Haiphong to the French and US wars, and we feel any history buff will be amazed to learn the story of how the ingenious Vietnamese won, arguably their greatest military victory against the invading Yuan Dynasty led by the son of Kublai Khan on the Bach dang River!
Culture, History, Heritage, Language, Cuisine
We pride ourselves on our understanding of Vietnamese culture, thousands of years of history, language, cuisine and customs and want to offer you a unique experience that brings better understanding and insight into the Vietnamese way of thinking, life style and customs. Simply let us know your area/s of interest, major highlights you want to experience, we'll design an experience that includes all that you wish to experience and then add our personal touch. Typically we are asked to include highlights of allied military history sites of significance, but find that heading out to many of the sites we are able to introduce our guests to aspects of rural life, agriculture, local industry, natural history, the evolution of Vietnamese geography, political history and current way of thinking of modern Vietnamese people. With our long history of travel and living in Vietnam, exploring battlefields in great detail, immersing ourselves in Vietnamese culture and history, you'll find travelling with us a unique and fascinating experience.
