Many people ask me: “As a young person, what do you think about the Vietnam War?”.
That’s why we created this experience!
Let’s look back at history to ensure it will not happen again in the future.

Vietnam Military History Museum
This experience is in two museums, making it the perfect destination for kids and families alike. Not only is it a great way to spend the day in Hanoi, but it also provides a welcome relief from the sweltering heat or the pouring rain outside.
From the captivating exhibits to the informative guided tours, there is something for everyone to enjoy, no matter their age or interests. The museums offer a unique opportunity to explore and learn about history, culture, and art, making it a truly memorable and enjoyable experience for the whole family.
Our team is youthful and Vietnamese, having been born and raised in a country that had been deeply impacted by the War. Their families, especially their grandparents, shared stories of the hardships they faced during this difficult time, and the team grew up listening to these tales of hardship and resilience. They are now determined to make a difference, to honor the legacy of their families, and to make the world a better place.
The conversation began with the Chinese invasion of the country, a conflict that had lasting effects on the history of the nation and its people. This was followed by the wars against the French and Americans, two of the nation’s most formidable adversaries, each of which left its own distinct mark on the country’s culture, society and politics. Finally, the conversation ended with the Post War period, a time of rebuilding and renewal for the nation, and a period of hope for the future. It was a time of great progress and prosperity, and it provided the nation with a new foundation upon which to build.
Experience two amazing museums in only three hours with a convenient taxi ride between them! All tickets and fares are included in the price, so you can feel free to enjoy the experience without any additional worries. There’s no need to worry about navigating the area either, as the taxi driver will take care of that for you. Plus, you can take in all the history, art, and culture of two distinct places in such a short amount of time – it’s a great way to make the most of your day!

The Vietnam War was a conflict between North and South Vietnam during the Cold War. It began in 1955 and ended in 1975, with the fall of Saigon in the South. During this time, France had a long and complex history in Vietnam, having colonized the area in the late 19th century.
French influence in Vietnam was pervasive, ranging from language, culture, politics, and economics. Vietnamese people experienced a number of changes as a result of French colonization, including increased access to education, improved infrastructure, and the introduction of new ideas and technologies.
However, the French also brought with them a system of colonial oppression, including forced labor and taxation. This led to widespread discontent among the Vietnamese people and ultimately to the Vietnam War.

Dear Annie,

Therefore, the tour is only available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. If you are a history lover, we invite you to join us for the Stories from the Vietnam War tour, which is available all week.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Hi Mary,
We'd like to join the tour with you for our trip to Hanoi. We have one quick question: Are museum tickets included in the price?
Thank you,
Mary

If you’re interested in history, this is one tour you MUST NOT MISS! My guide was Kien and he was absolutely spot on in making several hundred years of Vietnamese history come to life! As we walked through the museum of military history, I was overcome with admiration and greater understanding of the Vietnamese and their military history. In Hoa Lo prison, the tour struck a more sombre tone as Kien made the prison come alive, with inmate stories, and it just made the whole thing experience memorable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone (whether you’re a history buff like me, not not). Keep up the amazing work guys!

Quang was an excellent tour guide – he had a lot of knowledge about Vietnamese history and he shared a local view of the past events. Thanks Quang for making our last day in Hanoi unforgettable. I really recommend this tour for everyone.

Quang hat viel Wissen über den Krieg. Es ist von Vorteil sich vorher schonmal ein bisschen über diesem Teil der Geschichte zu erkunden. So können während der Tour auch spezielle Fragen geklärt werden. Für unseren Geschmack sind die drei Stunden hart an der Grenze der Aufnahmefähigkeit aufgrund des Wetters und der vielen Eindrücke. Quang hat gut englisch gesprochen, war pünktlich und sympathisch. Empfehlenswert
