Beginning in Hanoi and ending in Ho Chi Minh City, this tour takes us on a journey through Vietnam where we can enjoy some of its beautiful mountains and beaches and visit the craft producers who supply Traidcraft.

We enjoy the culture and history of Hanoi and get to know Craft Link at their head office and showroom. Whilst in Hanoi we meet one of Craft Link's ceramics groups before heading up into the mountains of Sapa to enjoy the views over the mountains and the fascinating tribal villages.

From now on our journey moves south through the country along its coast of islands, caves and beaches where we will meet the crochet group who made the popular nativity set until we reach Ho Chi Minh City in the south and the base of Mai Handicrafts.

Here in the capital we spend time touring the city, visiting Mai Handicrafts and their wood workshops before leaving for the Mekong Delta where we and spend our last days relaxing and touring the area by boat visiting basket makers and markets.
