We take you to the Saigon Secret Weapons Bunker, a fascinating relic of the Vietnam War that's often overlooked by tourists. You'll be amazed by the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Vietnamese people during this turbulent time in history.
Step off the tourist path and into the home of your guide’s family — where history lives in photos on the wall and stories told over coffee. As you sit together in their living room, you’ll hear firsthand how the Vietnam War shaped not just a country, but the lives of ordinary Saigon families. It’s a quiet, powerful moment of connection you won’t find in any museum.
Visit the Thích Quảng Đức Memorial, a moving tribute to the Buddhist monk who self-immolated in protest against the Vietnam War. From there, we’ll delve into the history of the war, uncovering the complex reasons behind the division between North and South Vietnam.
