Lunar New Year in Saigon - We had a good time and were able to see a group of drummers and dancers preparing for the Lunar New Year celebration! As an American, The War Remnants Museum was difficult to look at the exhibits. I found the section about the war correspondents very interesting.

Great fun had by 4 - Great fun! Joseph was a great guide and shared history and personal perspective of the Vietnamese people and his life. The van was very comfortable and clean. We also did the evening food tour which was a hoot! The food was great and driving throughout the central city on scooters was an experience not to be missed. Drivers Bobby, Tina and Seven were great drivers, spoke fluent English and made for a memorable evening. Not a typical tour but so much more. We really saw the authentic side of Ho Chi Minh City. Communication in advance with the operator was easy and excellent. Definitely recommend!

This tour was honestly one of the best parts of my time in Ho Chi Minh City. - Our guide made the whole experience so special-he was super knowledgeable, especially when it came to the history of the Independence Palace, and he patiently answered every question we had. What really stood out was how kind and accommodating he was throughout the tour. I felt like I gained a real understanding of the Vietnam War, and even though parts of the museum were heavy, it felt important to witness and learn about. We had just the right amount of time to explore, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere. Plus, the lunch we had was a great treat! This tour was a highlight for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting. It made my time in Vietnam so much richer.

I gained a lot of insight from this trip, thanks to our knowledgeable tour guide. - She knew so much about the history of the Independence Palace and walked us through every detail, making sure we understood the significance of each spot. Visiting the War Museum with her was eye-opening-some parts were hard to see, but it felt important to learn about everything that happened. What made the experience even better was how friendly and approachable she was. She encouraged us to ask questions and even suggested some fantastic local places to eat and get coffee afterward. She also helped us capture some great moments with photos. I’m so glad I chose a guided tour-it made the experience so much richer than just wandering with an audio guide. If you want to truly connect with Vietnam’s history, this tour is a must before heading to the Cu Chi Tunnels!
