Prehliadka Múzea pozostatkov vojny a Paláca nezávislosti pešo

We visited the Independence Palace and War Remnants Museum with our guide Kevin. Both are fascinating and, in our view, must-sees in Ho Chi Minh City. The Independence Palace offers a fascinating insight into the Vietnam War, with its historic meeting and banquet rooms, communications rooms and underground bunker, as well as great views over the city. The War Remnants Museum, just a short walk away, is extremely powerful and visual, showing the devastating effects of war and the suffering and resistance of the Vietnamese people. Kevin was knowledgeable and flexible, allowing us time for drinks and snacks, which made the tour work very well even with a young child. Highly recommended.

Mali sme úžasný zážitok z návštevy Múzea pozostatkov vojny a Paláca nezávislosti 🇻🇳. Miesta boli bohaté na históriu a veľmi dojemné na preskúmanie. To, čo urobilo prehliadku ešte výnimočnejšou, bol náš sprievodca Tom – bol neuveriteľne priateľský, zábavný a poučný 😊. Podelil sa o príbehy a postrehy, ktoré skutočne oživili tieto miesta. Vrelo odporúčame, ak chcete zmysluplnú a nezabudnuteľnú prehliadku! 🌟📸

Our Guide Mr Hung was very good,He gave us detailed tour of The independence palance and also waited for us at the war remnants museum.He also gave us detailed review of Ongoing New year Tet festival and Vietnamese culture.Would definitely recommend him.

Our guide Stephanie is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. The Independent Palace is huge and the War Remnant Museum reminds us war is never a good thing. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

I would like to give a 5-star review for my tour guide Cyta for doing a job well done. Cyta was highly knowledgeable and passionate in sharing her country’s history specially during the Vietnam/American War. I am very fortunate to have a one-on-one tour with her because we were able to take our time together and she was able to answer all of my questions. Her great sense of nationalism is something I admire and I’ll never forget. Overall these 2 attractions (Independence Palace and War Remnants) should be on top of your bucket list. A truly eye-opening experience to hear from a local share their point of view of the historic war in Vietnam.

The Vietnam War Remnants Museum is a deeply moving and thought-provoking destination that offers an unfiltered glimpse into the tragic realities of war. The exhibits, including photographs, artifacts, and preserved military equipment, vividly portray the impact of the Vietnam War on both soldiers and civilians. Visiting this museum is not just a journey through history but also a vital opportunity to reflect on the importance of peace, empathy, and understanding. It sheds light on the resilience of the Vietnamese people and serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of conflict. For anyone visiting Vietnam, this museum is a must-see to gain a deeper appreciation of the nation’s history and its lessons for the future.

Well put together and highly informative! While you could explore the Independence Palace and the Museum of War Remnants on your own, I highly recommend getting a tour guide for a deeper understanding of the exhibits. Cyta did a fantastic job guiding us through both sites, sharing historical insights that brought each display to life. This was actually my second tour with Cyta from ProTours, and she was just as excellent as the first time. She also went above and beyond by helping me find a cloakroom or storage area for my luggage, making the whole experience even smoother!

our tour guide was Miss Lucky for the day. she is well knowledgeable on the history for the palace of independence. she explain to us all the history and also places inside. took us to the war museum and show us around as well. told us if we have any question, we can ask her. even let us know where to have local foods. thumbs up and well done to her. recommended tour with her.

Cyta was an excellent host. I was able to learn more about the history of Vietnam and the effects of the war to their country. Informative but still enjoyable!

Thank you for showing me the two locations. In particular, the museum gave me much to think about, and I was deeply moved by the tragedy and folly of war, which brought me to tears. I am once again grateful to be able to live in peace, and I sincerely hope that the conflicts in Ukraine and other places will end as soon as possible.
