WELCOME …and thank you for visiting the FRANKO’S Rail Tours of VIETNAM website. If you were looking for the very best way to see Vietnam, or you are a train buff, or you are interested in tours to Cambodia and/or Laos, then you can relax …you have found us!
Our experience of rail tourism in Vietnam goes back to the very first rail tour in 1992 …long before Vietnam became a tourist hot spot. Since that time our goal has been to provide Australian & international tourists with what we believe is the very best holiday/vacation in Asia. We combine the experience and knowledge gained over many tours to design the most comprehensive and interesting itineraries based upon the highest standard of rail travel available in Vietnam.
Client feedback has been 100% positive …everyone has loved the train!
Still our old website from 2003 continues to serve us well ...so it shall stay on the web for a while longer providing a link to this new site.
I trust that you can navigate successfully around this new website to find the tour information that you desire. Should that not be the case, then please feel welcome to call/email either myself or Natalie at any time …happy to assist you. If you notice that something is not included in our information, or is unclear, then please let us know and we’ll fix it pronto ...one never stops learning!
Over the month of August we will be expanding the information currently included under “Shore Excursions from Cruise Ships" and “Bicycle Tours”. I hope you can bookmark this website and keep up with all the latest developments with FRANKO’S Tours …I’m sure we have the holiday you have long awaited.
Almost forgot! If you would like to see just what our train is all about then please just call/email us and a free DVD will be sent to you via the mail.
Please enjoy our new website. I’d recommend that you click onto Why The Train? to see just what a difference it makes in turning good tours into unforgetable tours.
Hope to see you one day on your first (or your next) FRANKO’S Tour of Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos.
Sincerely, Frank O’Brien
