Museums · VIETNAM
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 museum tours in Vietnam worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you book.
Join a private local student guide for Hanoi’s Ho Chi Minh Museum, Mausoleum, Hoa Lo Prison, and Vietnamese Women’s Museum. You set the pace and can add a tire-sandal workshop. The $5.13 price covers up to 15 people, but museum admissions and transport are extra.
“Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and couldn’t do more to help. A great experience that we would recommend to anyone”
Meet at Trung Nguyên Legend Café for a two-hour walk to the War Remnants Museum and Independence Palace. A guide such as Dickies, Sunny, Tyson, or Spike explains the sites in clear English, with time to explore the museum on your own. Small groups are limited to 10 people.
“Tour was very informative about the Independance Palace and the Vietnam war. Our guide Duc Kien Nguyen (Dickies) was very guide, English good and his explanations and answering of questions clear and concise. The museum was quite gruesome with some graphic photographs. Definitely worth a visit”
Spend a full day with a private guide and driver, visiting Thien Phuoc Institution in Cu Chi and SOS Village in Go Vap before lunch and the War Remnants Museum. You can join children’s activities, offer small gifts, and return to District 1 by about 5 PM.
“The museum has a few old military vehicles and helicopters in the grounds outside. The exhibition is over three floors and tells the story of the Vietnam War in graphic pictures and story boards.”
Start at 7:30 a.m. for a small-group Ho Chi Minh City tour covering the Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office, and War Remnants Museum. Hotel pickup is available at selected District 1 hotels, lunch is included, and drinks cost extra.
“A well presented account of the Vietnam war and it’s horrific impact. A sobering reminder.”
Pick a collection, a city or a kind of ticket.
