Vietnam
Comprising soaring mountains, fertile river deltas, ancient forests and long tropical beaches, Vietnam's geographic beauty and diversity is easily matched by its rich history and culture.
Intro
Long under the thumb of the World's great powers, Vietnam's legendary resilience is evident in how it has emerged from the brutal bombings it suffered at the hands of the US military.Â
Today's Vietnam boasts a delightful melange of traditional villages, colonial architecture, ethnic tribal groups, beautiful temples, dramatic bays and sublime cuisine. Roam untamed jungle in the West and sugar white shores in the East, and learn about the fascinating history that binds them. Wander bustling markets, working your way through endless seas of conical paddy hats and stroll ancient streets glowing with the light of brightly coloured lanterns. For relaxation, Vietnam's beaches are hard to beat, and its warm, friendly people will keep you wanting to come back for more.

Vietnam Presentation
We were delighted to be joined by Nick Wade, who heads our local operations in Vietnam, and have him speak about Vietnam as a travel destination. His presentation covers the best time to travel in Vietnam, some of the highlights as well as some of the lesser-explored parts of the country. He also talks about some of the unique one-off experiences we have developed, including meeting a former Vietnamese fighter pilot, joining an early morning Tai Chi class in one of Saigon's parks, and much more. Vietnam can easily be combined with some of the neighbouring countries which he also touches on.ÂÂ
