Vietnam  
Vietnam is a country of diverse landscapes and cultures. In Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, you'll feel the energy of this rapidly developing country, but you'll also see the history of the not-so-ancient Vietnam War, which the Vietnamese call the "American War."
We're Experts! Red Lantern Journeys can arrange tours throughout Vietnam. In addition to the iconic sights, we know the best hotels, beaches, islands, experiences, and off-the-beaten-path locations for your tour!

When to Travel
Any time of year is okay to visit Vietnam, but November to May is probably the best weather, although North Vietnam can get a bit cool, especially in the mountains.
Visa Information Everyone needs a visa to enter Vietnam. You can either obtain one through Vietnam embassies overseas, or via a pre-approved visa-on-arrival, when you book your tour through Red Lantern Journeys.
If you apply for a visa in advance through an embassy, it's best to start about 2 months before your departure. You can find out what's needed and start the process by following this link:
