Testimonials
“This tour is an anomaly in the tour business. Beverly has spent years cultivating friends and experiences with regular [Vietnamese] people and is able to take her tour group into those same places and relationships. This takes the tour out of the tourist spots and into places that most visitors can never see. We ended the tour with real friendships forged with Vietnamese people with whom we reacted, and in doing so, feel like we have obtained a feel for the character of the Vietnamese people. Who, by the way, are really fabulous – crazily industrious and real hustlers in the game of life. And from our perspective as Americans, the Vietnamese seem to show no lingering resentment against the US for our country’s experience in the Vietnam War.” - John Chiles
“The joy of a tour with Beverly is that you'll be exploring places that most tourists traveling with larger companies never venture. You will have the opportunity to visit private homes out in country villages, even eating in the traditional manner of sitting on the floor dining on a large mat with a local family.
Traveling with Beverly is a fun adventure as she takes you off the beaten path to encounter everyday people enjoying life with much less than most Americans enjoy in terms of material possessions. And yet they happily share with strangers what little they do have to offer. I loved the opportunity to meet local folks and share a moment of building bridges - a moment of helping to grow world peace, as cliche as that may sound.” - Travis Towns

“This tour is an opportunity to see real world Vietnam. I feel like Americans have such a skewed view of Vietnam because of the war, and I really enjoyed meeting the people of Vietnam, who were genuinely nice and without animus toward us, despite our being Americans. We were able to see how the Vietnamese live and work and I don’t think most tours of Vietnam provide such opportunities.
Beverly has a deep and abiding fondness for Vietnam and its people, its culture, its food and its history. This is evident from the activities she plans and the enthusiasm she shows during the tour. She knows many people in many walks of life in Vietnam and is able to structure a tour that takes advantage of that, and produces an authentic tour that introduces you to the life and work of the ordinary people in Vietnam.” - Frances Heidt
