We are pleased to be able to offer clients the opportunity during their stay in Hanoi to enjoy a short talk on one of a number of subjects relating to Vietnam, its history and its culture. These exclusive seminars will be conducted in English by a renowned academic or professional recognised in their field in Vietnam.
Topics range from culture and history, to art and textiles. The seminars will take place in either the Temple of Literature or a convenient central location. Although the seminars will usually take place in the afternoon, times may vary according to availability of the chosen speaker.
Once you have chosen which talk you would like to attend, we will contact the relevant speaker and try to arrange a mutually convenient time in your itinerary. Transfers to and from the talk will be on a private basis and unless otherwise notified, the talks will also be a private arrangement.

These activities are designed to give you the most authentic experiences around where you're staying. We work with local guides, who use their knowledge and often a resident's eye to show you the main sights and more out-of-the-way attractions. Our specialists can suggest tours and activities that will introduce you to the local ways of life.
