Good tour to learn about the Vietnam/American War - Our tour guide Nghi was a very good, very friendly, and informative guide. Getting to see the bunker was eye-opening. Visiting the monument dedicated to Thích Quảng Đức was also something I wanted to see - and this tour provided. If you're interested in understanding a bit more about that period in history, this is worth considering.

Fantastic walking tour- tailored to our needs. - A fantastic experience, from start to finish. Joseph is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and engaging! He went the extra mile by organising transfers for us from our cruise port and lending us some money for an amazing iced coconut coffee as we didn’t have any Dong initially. 10/10. Wholeheartedly recommend this walking tour.

A powerful visit as the description says - Really interesting... the visit showed us some sides of the city that we would definitely not have found on our own... and made us excited with the aspects of the war that show a proud people and never tame... recommended for those who want an alternative tour ..

- I took the Vietnam War Walking Tour: Bunkers, Resistance & Local Stories with Joseph and trainee guide Peter, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the start, they greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality, making us feel like we were touring with friends rather than guides. The tour itself was rich in powerful stories and historical insights that brought Vietnam’s wartime past to life. I was especially moved by the resilience and strength of the Vietnamese people — how they endured so much and came out even stronger, rebuilding their country into the vibrant, culturally rich nation it is today. Along the way, we also learned about local customs, spiritual beliefs, and everyday life, which added so much context and depth to the experience. On top of all that, Joseph and Peter gave us some laughs too! Joseph kindly helped me find a nearby ATM when I was running low on cash (lifesaver!), and Peter went above and beyond when my change got stuck in a vending machine — he even got help from the War Remnants Museum staff to retrieve it. Absolute legends! Thank you so much, Joseph and Peter, for an amazing, meaningful, and fun tour. I highly recommend booking this walk with them if you're visiting Ho Chi Minh City — it’s a must-do!

Amazing tour, loads of inside information and tailored to people's interests - Joseph is very knowledgeable and takes great pride in the history of the city and Vietnam. He went above and beyond to adapt the tour to the group's interests. He went in great details about history and architecture. Highly recommend the tour if youre interested in the Vietnam War and history of the region in the 1950s-70s!
