We had a wonderful time with Ms Duy for the independence palace and museum tour. She is really knowledgeable and ensured we didn't miss any of the interesting, beautiful, and thought provoking part of the venues. Highly Recommend!

The Reunification Palace, also called Independence Palace, is a special place in Ho Chi Minh City, which used to be called Saigon. It's like a time machine because it has seen a lot of important events in the city's history. It's a symbol of Eastern culture and has been through a lot during the Vietnam War, experiencing both the good and the bad times.
The Vietnam War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City is like a big book that tells the story of Vietnam during a tough time called the Vietnam War.

Our guide Cyta was really terrific. She provided great background historical information as well as interesting details regarding both the Palace and the museum. Intelligent and thorough answers to all our questions .
Hello, I booked for independence palace and war museum tour.Mr.huan Le was our tour guide. I would really appreciate him for his kindness and giving thoroughly information.becoz of him we can experience gr8 tour. Thank you for everything.
Steven was my guide and I learned a lot about the Palace first, and then the War Remenants Museum. He had folders with pictures of other sites in the city and I felt like he told me a great deal beyond what you might get from usual museum guides. Very friendly and easy to ask questions of and chat to. I greatly recommend this tour.
Thang was very kind with me and explained speaking a good English the history of Vietnam, adding also personal stories and cultural details.
Thang (Tory) was truly exceptional! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made this tour absolutely unforgettable. He even went above and beyond so I would be able to understand Vietnam’s history. All questions I asked were all answered and I would recommend him to any other tourism that would visit HCM city.
I came here 10 years ago, I really don’t know what I expected to be different because it’s a look back at the past so obviously, nothing had changed. Still interesting and if you’ve not seen before, worth it.
The tour was very educational and our tour guide Tory for victory was awesome and very helpful. Worth every cent. We just love this tour.
