Former military sites, museums and memorials can be visited right throughout the country. Guests can meet and talk with war veterans and local survivors.
Conflicts & War in Vietnam:
The Vietnam War (1955-1975) was originally a conflict between North and South Vietnam, but escalated and involved other countries, most notably the USA. It is commonly referred to as the ‘Resistance War Against America’ or the ‘American War’ in Vietnam. In addition, Vietnam has been in conflict with China, France, Japan and Cambodia at various times throughout its history.
Guiding the Experience:
Military-history-based travel can be a personal and often very emotional journey for our guests. Our guides on this type of tour have a varied role, but a significant part is guiding interactions with local veterans or residents affected by war. These opportunities to meet and talk with people are typically more memorable than the sites and museums. Our guides are sensitive to the individual feelings and preferences with our guests and can tailor the experience to match.
