MilSpec Tours offers a variety of tour programs to Asia for groups and individuals. We have extensive experience in Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand. Our Vietnam programs highlight the history and culture of Vietnam with emphasis on our military sites and individual special places. We offer tours into the Mekong Delta, along the DMZ and into North Vietnam. Additionally, we have post tour extensions to Thailand, Hong Kong, Angkor Wat and other popular destinations in the area.

Special Places

In many instances our tour participants will be returning to countries where they served, worked or toured earlier in their lives. Certain sites in these countries may be of very special importance to these tour participants. Therefore, MilSpec Tours will make every effort to include those Special Places in the tour itinerary if they are not far from the pre-planned route of the tour. If this is not possible within the regular tour program, a tour diversion, or tour extension, can be arranged at a reasonable additional cost. Consult with our staff when planning your tour to ensure that we know about your “Special Places.”

Please contact us for the latest information on our customized tours for special Veterans groups and Veterans associations in 2009.

PANORAMA OF VIETNAM


3001


8008 Our Panorama of Vietnam Tour provides an all-country Vietnam experience. We begin in Hanoi, capital of Vietnam, and travel south, visiting important sites of the Vietnam War, including Hue, Khe Sanh, Dak To and Cu Chi. But, the war sites are not the only spots we visit on this exciting itinerary. We also enjoy spectacular scenery, art, culture and an opportunity to see and understand the Vietnamese people. One of our previous tour members said, “It’s not New York!” when asked how the Vietnamese people treated him. He was amazed at how friendly they are, especially to Americans. You will experience this as we stroll through the colorful Pleiku marketplace or ride a sampan on the Mekong River.

In addition to the towns and cities already included in the itinerary, we can stop along the way at “special places” which have been requested by tour members. A stop will be made at the Cao Dai Temple in time to observe part of the noon service and a visit to a Montagnard village will give us a glimpse of another part of the fabric of the Vietnam cultural quilt.

We will travel via planes, motorcoaches, cyclos, gondolas, sampans and our own two feet. Plenty of time has been allowed for you to explore on your own and shop. You will find the Vietnamese friendly and helpful and always ready to practice their English!

This tour is especially appealing to family members and friends because it is such a grand combination of Vietnam War sites, important to our Veterans, and the exotic tourist attractions found to be so fascinating by our tour members.

If you have any questions, please call or Email us and our friendly, knowledgeable staff will be pleased to assist you.

III CORPS & THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS


A Road to Pleiku Once again in 2012 we are pleased to offer our annual History Tours – III Corps and Central Highlands, which we have been operating for over a decade. The III Corps tour dovetails with the Highlands Tour so you can take one or the other or both.  Both tours visit Saigon.  III Corps Tour includes Cu Chi, Dau Tieng, Tay Ninh, Katum, COSVN Headquarters, Nui Ba Den, Vung Tau the rubber plantations and rice paddy country north and west of Saigon.  In 2010 we explored new roads along the Cambodian border in far northern Tay Ninh Province beyond the 173rd Airborne Brigade’s 1967 Drop Zone. We can also tour to 1st Infantry Division “Big Red One” sites east of the Saigon River.


Our Highlands Tour includes Ben Het SF Camp, Dak To, Kontum, Pleiku, Camp Enari,  and important sites along Highway 19 including The Oasis, Jackson Hole and Duc Co SF Camp. For the first time in 2010 we ventured all the way to the Cambodian border along Hwy 19. We also traverse the Mang Yang Pass, An Khe, the An Khe Pass, Quy Nhon, Tuy Hoa, Nha Trang, and Cam Ranh. We drive through the mountains in the Highlands and along the coast of the South China Sea.

We strive to make our group tours as personal as possible, and we are succeeding. We want you and your family to join our History Tour of Vietnam. We will offer this program in November 2012 or you can take one or the other program on-your-own throughout the year. Review the itinerary based on our 2011 brochure and check back as we will soon publish the 2012 brochures for the November program or as a custom option year-round.  The program for 2012 will have several changes, but all of the places noted in the 2011 program will be included in 2012.
