Types Of Vietnam School Tours
Community Service and Volunteer Tours
Wide Eyed Pupils directly works with NGOs in all countries we operate to ensure your donation and service goes to projects where it is most most needed . We have helped various schools and kindergartens fund and build infrastructure such as toilet blocks, classrooms, playgrounds, vegetable gardens and fences.

Check out our Community Service and Volunteer Tour Itineraries below for some inspiration.
Vietnam War History School Tours
Vietnam has flourished since the American War. Proud of their incredible victory, the Vietnamese government has gone to great lengths to preserve the war history. You’ll find museums, fascinating stories and moving tributes in every city you visit. There are 3 distinct sets of tunnels to be visited, the DMZ, old military bases and numerous historic sites. If you travel in April we can also build your tour around the Anzac Day service in Hanoi at the Australian Embassy. Check out these war history tours for some inspiration.
Ethnic Minority Homestay Tours
Vietnam is home to over 54 different Ethnic Minority Groups. Each group has its own language, lifestyle and cultural heritage making their villages, cultures, beliefs and history a fascinating space to explore. On our Ethnic Minority Homestay tours students spend time living with real ethnic minority families and joining in with their daily lives, which are primarily built around farming. We’ve personally selected families in the Northern Mountains and Central Highlands for you and your pupils to stay with. Apart from the enriching cultural experience you will have, you will also bring economical support to their remote villages, which will give them greater opportunity to buy things, that can’t easily be bartered e.g. fertilizer. Also if you are interested in textiles, we can tailor make your tour to highlight the different dyeing and weaving techniques that each ethnic group uses.
