Discover the real Vietnam
You will get a little bit more out of your travels, and give a little bit back to the special places and people that you encounter. You will get deeper and more real travel experiences. The values you get are authenticity - experiences integral to local people’s traditions, cultures and rituals rather than those created for tourism, or those whose existing meanings and uses have become lost as they have packaged for tourism.
Responsible Travel
Little Vietnam Tours only uses local guides from the destination you visit to escort you. He or she will open your eyes to their cultures and ways of life far better than an expat guide could ever do. They will also earn a much needed income from you. That is one of the ways you profit local people and help us to share the benefits of tourism with local people.
Small groups leave fewer footprints
Little Vietnam tours’ itineraries are more suitable for couples or friends and individuals at all ages, backgrounds and nationalities but united in a desire to break away from regimented, impersonal big coach tours. Small groups are environmentally more friendly and their effect less disruptive to local communities. It also means you get the chance to get away from crowded tourist haunts, taking scenic backroads to places you may not have heard of, but wouldn’t want to miss. Small groups leave fewer footprints!

Vietnam Travel Information - About Vietnam
Vietnam is home to numerous attractions such as ancient architecture, UNESCO world heritage sites, high mountains, beautiful waterfalls, sunny beaches and a cluster of wonderful places. It comes across as a country full of surprises. However, not much was known about it so far.
Our pages of “About Vietnam” are written with a hope that we will help you understand more about our friendly people, rich culture and beautiful landscape. It will also help you find the country as “a home away from home” by narrowing the gap of culture and customs between yourself and the local people that you’ll encounter in your holiday.
Vietnam embarked on the Doi Moi (Renovation) in 1986. Since then, the country has seen dramatic changes, first and foremost in the economic thinking. The centrally-planned economy was replaced by the socialist-oriented market economy; national industrialisation and modernisation were initiated together with the policy of multilateralisation and diversification of external economic relations, openness and international integration. The Doi Moi helped Vietnam rapidly escape hunger and poverty and lay the initial foundation for an industrialised economy, as well as maintaining a high growth rate and a relatively equal society. Vietnam is now the world’s largest robust coffee, cashew nuts and pepper exporter, and the second largest rice exporter worldwide.
Today Vietnam is also an outstanding travel destination. It is considered as a safe place in the world that is as yet untouched by terrorism and tsunami. Vietnam has lured more and more international arrivals. In 2005, Vietnam welcomed four million arrivals and it is expected that the international arrivals will be eight millions in 2010. The development of tourism industry in Vietnam brings jobs to more than 234,000 people directly and an additional 510,000 indirectly in associated business and industries.
With your help, we hope that our dream of being the top ten major tourist destinations in the world will come true in the next ten years.
We are always opened to your ideas to make our pages of “About Vietnam” more useful to people who are going to travel to Vietnam or just interested in our people and culture.

Jan 01, 1970 12:00 AM travel to sapa
Highlands - Sapa
Sapa Town
Sapa is an incredibly picturesque city, a former French hill station that lies on the Hoang Lien Son mountain range in Lao Cai province in the northwest of Vietnam. It’s one of the main market towns in the area, where there lived many local trades such as H’mong, Dzay, Dzao and Tay.
Sapa is likely first inhabited by highland minorities of the H’mong and Dzao groups and by a smaller numbers of Tay and Dzay, these being the four main minority groups still present in Sapa district today. The King people never originally colonised this highest of Vietnam’s valley, which lies in the shadow of Fansipan, the highest peak in the country (3143m).
The town began to appear on the national map when the French debarked in highland Tonkin in the late 1880s. By 1912 a military sanatorium for ailing officers had been erected along with a fully fledged military garrison. Then, from the 1920s onwards, several weathly professionals with enough financial capital also had a number of private villas built in the vicinity.
At the end of the Second World War, colonial buildings in or around Sapa were heavily distroyed either by Vietminh or by French.
In 1993 the last obstacle to Sapa’s full rebirth as a prominent holiday destination was lifted as the decision was made to open the door fully to international tourism. Sapa was back to the tourist trail again, this time for a newly emerging local elite tourist crowd, as well as international tourists.
Sapa has the temperate climate zone with the coldest months from January to February; the excellent summer weather from March to May; the rains from June to August. The town has the most pleasant temperature from September to mid-December.
Around Sapa
There are numerous options for exploration around the immediate region. A short walk down hill can bring you to an old French hydroelectric station at Cat-Cat village, while a day long trek from Sapa down into the valley below - roughly 14 kilometers long can take you through some beautiful landscape and visits to Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai and Ta Van village. The more energetic can tackle a three day hike up Mount Fansipan. In addition, you can sample the charms of the Taphin valley and visit the ruins of Our Lady of Peace monastery or enjoy a jaunt to Thac Bac (Silver waterfall). You can also arrange home stays with local people, in a Tay home built on stilts in Lao Chai or Ban Ho.
Local Markets
Nothing can prepare you for the riot of colour and activity at the regional markets that can be found dotted around the Sapa region. Make sure you have brought enough film or your camera's batteries are fully charged, as they are a photographer's delight!
The local markets in Sapa includes Muong Hum and Bac Ha market on Sunday, Can Cau market on Saturday and Coc Ly market on Tuesday.

Jan 01, 1970 12:00 AM South Vietnam highlihts 12 days with littlevietnamtours
South Vietnam highlihts 12 days
A twelve-day introduction to the south of Vietnam including a tour of Indochina's largest city, the fascinating Mekong Delta, Phu Quoc Island and the wartime Cu Chi Tunnels.
As you'll be travelling tailor-made, you can use our unique tour design service to modify this itinerary to suite your preferences – extend your tour, change Phu Quoc Island to Mui Ne Beach – whatever you wish. We don't charge to the service no matter how many changes you want to make.
Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City Arrival (D)
Arrive at the Tan Son Nhat airport, you’ll be greeted by your guide and driven to the city centre for hotel check-in. You’ll have time to relax after your journey before a welcome dinner at a Vietnamese traditional restaurant. Your overnight will be in Ho Chi Minh city.
Day 2: Ho Chi Minh City Orientation (B/L)
After breakfast, your guide will arrive to show you around Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll visit the History Museum where there is a special exhibition of the 5th century ‘Oc Eo’ civilisation. The Museum of War Remnants provides a very partial, but riveting, perspective of the ‘American War’: not for the squeamish! The Notre Dame Cathedral, the Centre Post Office and the huge Ben Thanh market, one of the liveliest areas of Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll also call in at the Jade Emperor Temple. You’ll spend the night in Ho Chi Minh City.
Day 3: Ho Chi Minh City – Tay Ninh – Cu Chi (B/L)
A morning drive will take you to Tay Ninh to visit the temple of Cao Dai and attend the fantastic mid-day ceremony. After lunch, you’ll visit the famous Cu Chi tunnels, a byzantine maze of underground passages, chambers, rooms and booby traps used by both the Vietminh and the Viet Cong to suddenly materialise as if from nowhere, launch a lightning ambush, and vanish equally rapidly. Your overnight will be in Ho Chi Minh City.
Day 4: Ho Chi Minh City – Vinh Long – Can Tho (B/L)
After escaping from Ho Chi Minh City’s urban sprawl, you’ll travel to Vinh Long. There, you’ll cruise on the Mekong River, visit Cai Be floating market, fruit orchards, a traditional family-run brick kiln, and drop in to look at some traditional cottage industries - a workshop making the huge coffins unique to the Mekong is particularly interesting. Your overnight will be in Can Tho.
Day 5: Can Tho – Chau Doc (B/L)

You’ll also have chance to enjoy the Mekong Delta music performed by local people. In the afternoon, you’ll drive to Chau Doc. You’ll spend overnight in Chau Doc.
Day 6: Chau Doc (B/L)
After breakfast, you’ll board a small sailing boat to visit floating houses farming Basa fish, Cham ethnic minority villages and a mosque. Next, you’ll take a drive to the Sam Mountain. It’s an easy climb to the summit of Sam Mountain, and worth the effort because the views of the pancake-flat Mekong and the plain across the Cambodian border are striking. At the foot of the mountain, a visit to the Temple of Lady Chua Su can be arranged. After lunch in town, you can choose another option to visit the ‘Bone Pagoda’ in Ba Chuc, so-called because it houses a collection of skulls of Vietnamese people killed by the Khmer Rouge during 1975 and 1978. Your overnight accommodation will be in Chau Doc.
