A mix of socialism and capitalism, a country still healing the war wounds, and an energetic and proud society eager to reenter the world's stage. Our tours are led by an International Relations officer of the Vietnam Women's Union, and give tour participants an insider's connection to both urban and rural communities. The present government and relations with the US, education, the economy, health care, rebuilding the infrastructure, expanding trade, and taking care of the many victims of the war, both chemical and conventional, are covered in this travel seminar. The tourist meccas: the breathtaking beauty of Ha Long Bay, the temples of the Marble Mountains, and the cultural richness of Hoi An village balance out the itinerary.

There will be meetings with American combat veterans working to fund clinics and de-landmining programs, as well as many opportunities to experience the deep faith in Buddhism that has sustained Vietnam's culture and society. We can organize customized tours for your family & friends, school, organization, church or union (minimum of 8 or more participants) to all of our country destinations.
