Vietnam Tour
Nature has blessed Vietnam with a bountiful harvest. With soaring peaks like Hoang Lien mountains and a killer coastline, with beaches like Quy Nhon and Nha Trang, Vietnam is simply stunning. Blanketed from head to toe with a patchwork of emerald-green rice paddies, timelessly tended by peasant women in conical hats, this time the brochures don't lie.

Itinerary
Beginning in Hanoi and ending in Ho Chi Minh City, this tour takes us on a journey through Vietnam where we can enjoy some of its beautiful mountains and beaches and visit the craft producers who supply Traidcraft.
We enjoy the culture and history of Hanoi and get to know Craft Link at their head office and showroom. Whilst in Hanoi we meet one of Craft Link's ceramics groups before heading up into the mountains of Sapa to visit some of the embroiders that they work with.
From now on our journey moves south through the country along its coast of islands, caves and beaches where we will meet the crochet group who made the popular nativity set until we reach Ho Chi Minh City in the south and the base of Mai Handicrafts.
Here in the capital we spend time touring the city, visiting Mai Handicrafts and their wood workshops before leaving for the Mekong Delta where we and spend our last days relaxing and touring the area by boat visiting basket makers and markets.
