My Story

My business interests in the luxury fashion manufacturing industry first took me to Vietnam in 2002. Having travelled this wonderful country extensively, I fell in love with the people, culture and cuisine. It quickly became my ‘second home’.

Black Belt Tours initially started in 2003. Teaming up with one of the largest wholesalers in Vietnam, and have enjoyed a successful relationship over the past 20 plus years. In the early stages, personally guiding small groups from New Zealand to Ho Chi Minh and beyond. These tours grew with great success by word of mouth with recommendations spreading to many others around New Zealand and Australia who desired a personalised experience to suit their aspirations, activities and varying budgets.

All tours are private and tailored specifically to meet your expectations. With an array of extra complimentary services that include extensive lists of the best food and characterful restaurants, best places to shop, best tailors, top golf courses, cooking classes, spa’s and much, much more.

Black Belt Tours will advise you on where to go, where not to go, what to see and what should not be missed. With personal in-depth local knowledge, excellent quality English speaking guides and private drivers your Black Belt Tour will undoubtedly exceed your expectations.

If you’re exploring the possibility of seeking out new business opportunities, Black Belt Tours can also assist with contacts for you.

I am a Vietnam holiday specialist, I only arrange tours to Vietnam and Cambodia so you can book with confidence knowing that I really understand the destinations.

The adventure will not easily be forgotten. Personalised bespoke tours designed especially for you.
