Overview

Step into the heart of Vietnam’s storied past with a team of passionate local history enthusiasts. This immersive guided tour takes you through the Vietnam Military History Museum, the nation’s largest, offering a comprehensive journey from ancient kingdoms to the modern era. We move beyond the dates to explore the spirit of a people marked by resistance against colonial powers and the complexities of the Cold War.

Witness an expansive collection of thousands of artifacts, including iconic Cold War-era tanks and fighter jets in the outdoor galleries. You will also have the rare opportunity to see four official National Treasures, each a symbol of the country’s enduring spirit.

What makes this tour unique is the "Vietnamese perspective." We delve into narratives and historical nuances rarely featured in Western media, providing a balanced and authentic look at the country's evolution. Through engaging dialogue with your guide, you will gain a profound appreciation for the bravery that has shaped modern Vietnam, making it perfect for history buffs and curious travelers seeking a deeper connection to the local culture.
