Vietnam
Vietnam’s rapid changes and remarkable contrasts are perfect fuel for curious minds. See the impacts of industrialisation in Vietnam’s vibrant global cities. Watch citizens embrace new social trends, while ethnic minority groups preserve long-held customs. And find your inner environmentalist among spectacular natural landscapes – from dense jungles to cool highlands and over 3,000 kilometres of coast.
Perhaps you’d like a north-to-south journey focused on Vietnam’s history and politics? A look at the influence of French colonisation, or the impacts of Vietnam’s fast-rising economy? Maybe you’d just like a little help manoeuvring through motorbikes in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, to reflect on commerce and urban development? Whatever your itinerary, we’ve got your back.
Throughout your tour, our partnerships with local communities will give you access to authentic encounters with Vietnam’s people. We’ll also introduce you to a host of reputable non-profit organisations, so you can learn about the local issues that matter most.

Testimonial
"I have been liaising with Billy, Mia, Vinh and their team for over 10 years on HVGS Community Projects to Vietnam. Every tour has been designed to our needs, meeting the service elements that are inherent in our philosophy as a school."
“Each tour has enabled us to engage in meaningful cultural immersion activities, ensuring our students grow and develop with an understanding of what it means to be a global student. These experiences, from the house building, the interaction with students at the local schools, to the time spent working with the disabled students, have all been eye opening life experiences. The preparation for our trips has been well structured and supported by Billy, which is the basis of a successful trip. Billy and his team ensure that all risk assessments are comprehensive, and we are well versed in their contents.
These successful trips always generate much interest on our return, with students giving presentations to local Rotary Groups and the students of our School, these talks showing clearly how much the trip has impacted on the travellers.
My team of teachers have always felt comfortable with the decisions made by Billy and his team, if a change to the itinerary needs to be made, they have always been with full consultation and the best interests of the students and staff. The staff we have with us on the project from Edventure in Vietnam are always knowledgeable, approachable and they become an integral part of the group as the project unfolds.
I have no hesitation in recommending Edventure Travel to any school, based on the experiences of my team of teachers and students over multiple trips and many years.”
