Tours |
Starting in 2011, we are increasing the length of our standard tours from 14 days to 15 days. The price for our new 15-day tours will remain the same as it has been for our 14 day tours, $3,195.00. |

We have had a lot of interest in our Northern I-Corps tour so we have now added a second Northern I-Corps tour (March 27 - April 10). For those who have been with us before, you might be interested in the VN-11041 tour (April 10 - 24) as it has a little more relaxed itinerary.
In May we are offering a Delta tour (May 8 - May 22) which will visit locations throughout the Mekong Delta (IV-Corps) region. For those of you who served here, you might want to check out this tour.
Our Southern I-Corps tour (June 5 - June 19) is still very popular with 1st Division Marines and others, who served in this area.

Last year a film crew from Day of Discovery chose Vietnam Battlefield Tours to be their tour guide and Locations Manager in Vietnam while they filmed a 4-part TV series titled "The War Within: Finding Hope for Post-Traumatic Stress" which aired on ION Television.

This year Day of Discovery won two awards for their production of "The War Within": The 2010 Aegis Award which is judged by their peers in the video arena and the 2010 Ava Award which is judged by marketing professionals.
Congratulations to Day of Discovery for their fine work.

In February this year, Vietnam Battlefield Tours served as guide and Locations Manager for Visionalist Entertainment. The resulting documentary, "Our Vietnam Generation," premiers January 28, 2011 in Detroit at the Fox Theater with seating for 4,000.

Agent Orange is a key element of the film, as is a Marine Vietnam veteran who returned to his former AO (area of operations) with his daughter at his side.
Although focused on Michigan veterans, it is a microcosm of all America's Vietnam veterans and the Agent Orange legacy they still bear. Through this documentary, Visionalist has contributed a moving, insightful, and important addition to what it means to be a Vietnam veteran.
You can watch the movie trailer here. There is also a music video here.
