Saigon After Dark

Settle into the seat of your threewheeled cyclo for a taste of the nightlife in Ho Chi Minh City. Check out Reunification Palace, the former Saigon Opera House, the French colonial post office and other significant sites, then hop a private speedboat and sip champagne as you zip around the city’s canals. Stop for a riverside dinner, then travel by motorcycle sidecar to the trendy Chill Skybar, on the 26th floor of the AB Tower.

Historical Home Cooking

The home of former American Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. is your stage for a culinary class. Begin with a chef-escorted shopping trip to Ben Thanh Market for fresh veggies, herbs and seafood. Back at the house, work with your instructor to make fragrant spring rolls, crispy turmeric crêpes and spicy fish in a clay pot before dining in the historical digs.

Shadows of the 1960s

Travelers with a specialized interest or personal connection to the Vietnam War will appreciate this nine-day tour led by a veteran and historian. Begin in Ho Chi Minh City, where cultural visits include a stop at the Cu Chi tunnels, and visit Hue, where some of the heaviest fighting occurred in 1968. Take in the former demilitarized zone and Vinh Moc tunnels, including an underground village. In Hanoi, visit the memorial marking where Senator John McCain was shot down in 1967.

"Julie is fantastic. Takes care of all the details. Was especially helpful when OUR early morning flight out was canceled in the middle of the night. She helped us with all the details for rescheduling our vacation so we had the time we needed at each destination."

"Working with Julie Smothers has been a pleasure, as always. Every detail covered, every concern solved, every question answered fully--that's Julie. While in Peru, we knew that, if a problem arose, all we had to do was call her. Thankfully, that never happened! Her planning was seamless!"

"Great! [Emily] guided us through the planning process very well, giving us great options and helping us stay within our budget. This is the second trip we have planned with her and we will definitely use her again!"

“Emily is a fabulous travel agent! We explained what we wanted to see and experience and she made it happen. Our trip came out exactly as planned! We would do it all over again without hesitation. Will definitely ask Emily to help with future travel :)”

“Emily planned a great trip for us. She was thorough and helpful throughout the process and provided good advice. She handled all the tiny details and saved us so much time and effort.”
