Our Story – CONNECT & SHARE

My name is Lan, though many of my friends know me as Marie.

I was born into a large family with eight brothers and sisters in Hue, Vietnam. Like many families at that time, life was not always easy. When I was sixteen, my mother gently encouraged me to enter a convent. She believed it would offer me a peaceful life dedicated to God—a life free from the responsibilities of marriage and raising a family.

I accepted her wish and entered the convent.

At that time, around sixteen young women of similar age were living and studying together. We were preparing ourselves to become Catholic sisters, dedicating our lives to serving God and the community.

Life inside the convent was simple, disciplined, and peaceful…

More Than a Trip — A Meaningful Experience Our recent trip to Vietnam was a grace-filled and meaningful journey, made even more special by Marie’s exceptional support and care throughout the trip. From the very beginning, Marie was responsive, attentive, and always ready to assist whenever needed. Her professionalism, patience, and willingness to accommodate our requests gave the group great comfort and reassurance throughout the journey. What touched us most was her sincerity and quiet dedication behind the scenes, ensuring that everything was smoothly and thoughtfully arranged. Thanks to her efforts, we were able to focus fully on the spiritual experience and create many beautiful and lasting memories together. We are truly grateful to Marie for making this journey so memorable and enriching. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a well-organized, reliable, and spiritually enriching travel experience.

My pilgrimage tour at Hanoi and Central Vietnam I had a pleasant experience in using the Vietnam Catholic tour to visit the churches and travel around Vietnam. Prices were reasonable and the tour operator and guide were very friendly. During the tour, I got caught up in heavy rain and my booked hotel was affected by the flood. The tour operator immediately booked for an alternate hotel at an affordable price. They constantly helped me in every way. Highly recommend if people want to visit churches and sightseeing in a private setting.

A great trip The guide is from a religious family who have gone through different chapters of Vietnamese history themselves. A great storyteller

Would recommend to anyone and would go again! Marie (who organized) and her tour guide Vu were excellent. I was traveling as a single adult with three daughters and wanted to do a weekend pilgrim tour to La Vang. Although I have been to Vietnam many times in the past for extended periods for work, the La Vang area would have been hard to navigate as a non-Vietnamese speaking foreigner since it's not a "usual" tour area. Marie accommodated an early morning airport pickup given our limited schedule and arranged for us to stay at the Sister's House in La Vang, which she described as "modest," but which was absolutely perfect for retreat, prayer, and reflection. Vu and our driver were able to get us safely to La Vang and back despite a (surprise and non-seasonal) typhoon in the area. My only critique was that some of the meal stops were a little fancy for kids, but it was clear that Marie and Vu went out of their way to pick places that would be comfortable for westerners (especially for those who have spent less time in the country than I have and may have different expectations or levels of comfort). If you are interested in La Vang from either a religious or a historical standpoint or both, I highly recommend this company. Despite the heavy rain, I felt completely at peace there and would go again. Our other stops (monastery, churches, Citadel in Hue) were also lovely.

Hanoi City Discovery with Churches tour. The best! From the very beginning, Marie from Vietnam Catholic Tours answered all my queries and granted my request for the trip. We genuinely enjoy our time and the comfort you prepared for us. Peter was very accommodating, great, and knowledgeable. We'll surely book our trip one we got back in Vietnam.

Blessings, beauty and a hassle-free pilgrimage/tour My 83-year-old mother and I made a 6D5N trip to Hue and Hoi An. Communication and arrangements with the agency was smooth and easy. Marie was very helpful with her suggestions and advice, taking changes in our travel plans in her stride. Our guide, Vu, was courteous, attentive, well-spoken and took good care of us. My mother finds walking and stairs challenging but with Vu's assistance and considerate pace, she was able to manage and enjoy the trip. We appreciated that Vu offered interesting information about the places we visited and shared his own experience as a local. It gave us a much more personal insight into the lives and history of the Vietnamese people which my mother and I both appreciated. We also appreciated the consideration of the driver, Mr Hou, and the comfort and solidity of the vehicle that brought us across mountains and into the urban areas. The pilgrimage sites we visited were very special and the different landscapes we passed through were magnificent. The hotels we were booked into were comfortable, clean and well-located for us to get around on our own. We especially loved the Hoi An Historical Hotel with its spacious grounds and beauty. Thank you, Vietnam Catholic Tours, for making this mother-daughter trip so memorable.
