VIETNAM

Vietnam With the Chinese invasion in 111 BC, colonization by the French in the 19th century, the Japanese invasion during World War II, and finally the Vietnam War (known in Vietnam as the American War), Vietnam has certainly had a volatile history. Now the country has been at peace for 35 years, the economy is booming and this fascinating land has moved into the 21st century. In the past few years savvy travelers have made Vietnam one of the most in-demand destinations in the world. There's never been a better time to visit.

At Southeast Asia Tours, we design tours for any number of people and any length of stay. The focus is always on your special interests and desires. Do you prefer deluxe, first class or standard hotel accommodations? Do you want just a little sightseeing, a lot of sightseeing or a 50/50 mix of sightseeing and leisure time? We even assist in obtaining Vietnam visa-on-arrival approval. Here are just a few samples of the kind of trip that we can design just for you.

SAMPLE ITINERARIES:

Our Sample Itineraries and Mix and Match options are just a start. You might want to add a Cooking Class. Or, perhaps you'd like to add Day Trips to areas that are a bit off the main tourist circuit. In connection with land arrangements, we are pleased to offer discount airfares within Vietnam. Or, perhaps you'd like to travel by rail. Lots of tour options are available, so let us know what your heart desires!

New for 2010!

Other hotels are available, in addition to those listed in the Sample Itineraries.
