Vietnam rewards you with a week of much needed time out,
alongside a large dollop of affordable luxury.
Relax and enjoy glamorous 5 star accommodation in the

fun and rewarding.
We plan to visit the tailors for some custom creations, as
well as shopping for fashion, accessories, linen, antiques and
homewares.
But this trip is not all about shopping, we'll be exploring the
food, culture and history of this amazing country as well.
ABOUT YOUR TOUR DIRECTOR
AND PERSONAL
CONCIERGE
Discovering Vietnam
three years ago totally
filled my heart with
an unexplainable
completion! I had
arrived! I had found my
‘eureka’! Those French
colonial buildings, the
five star resorts and
hotels that ooze a certain charm. The crisp
baguettes, the coffee, and the very friendly
Vietnamese people. In 2010, I formed an association with Luxury
Travel Vietnam, a fully registered, and privately
owned travel company based in Hanoi.
Together, we put the ‘Timeless Charm’ into
Vietnam. Our fully escorted high luxe special interest
tours which always accompanied by an expert
in the field: eg a personal stylist, chef, golfer,
author, or antique & decor specialist. We
are also the only Tour Operator in Vietnam/
Cambodia who offer a fully escorted concierge
service.
‘‘Recover, Renew, Reflect, Regain, Regrow,
Reconnect, Relax’’ is my mantra.

aids to show how European styles fused with traditional Vietnamese
materials and techniques to give birth to modern Vietnamese art.
From there we'll take private transport to the HCMC Fine Arts
Museum - an impressive example of Sino-French architecture where we'll get to see some modern Vietnamese art, as well as the
work of wartime artists - including combat sketches and
original propaganda posters - demonstrating how
artists have been essential tools of government,
in resistance, revolution and reconstruction of a
nation.
The tour continues to one of the city's leading
contemporary art galleries which houses works
by Vietnamese and international artists, and is a
great example of how these spaces are nurturing
experimentation and creating opportunities for
emerging artists.

curators and collectors.
