Vietnam

Classic Vietnam is our annual two week adventure in which participants drive either an ex US military Jeep, or a modernĀ SUV, from Hanoi to Da Nang before taking a flight to Saigon to finish the trip.

We provide you with the vehicle, full mechanical support and insurance. In common with all our trips there is no convoy driving. Instead you travel at your own pace guided by an easy to follow route book.

As well as visiting tourist spots, we also drive through parts of Vietnam that most visitors do not experience. Our route includes four World Heritage Sites, passes a number of significant Vietnam War locations including Khe Sanh and Hamburger Hill and visits cities including Hanoi, Da Nang, Hue, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City.

For years it was not possible for non residents to drive a four wheeled vehicle in Vietnam. That is why Clarkson and Co in their Top Gear special used scooters instead of cars.

In 2012 we overcame the licensing hurdles and became the first in the world to run an event of this kind in Vietnam.
The route broadly follows the Ho Chi Minh Trail - the secret supply route used by the North Vietnamese to supply their troops in the south during the conflict.

We stay in lovely hotels and in keeping with other events you will be provided with a detailed route book enabling you to travel at your own pace. As always, as well as several tourist hot spots, we will be visiting several areas not normally accessed by tourists.

If you do not fancy driving a Jeep you have the option to drive a modern car or ride a choice of motorcycles ranging from a modern Honda trails bike to an old Russian 650cc Ural.
