What To Expect
The Independence Palace
Reunification Palace was the base of Vietnamese General Ngo Dinh Diem until his death in 1963. It made its name in global history in 1975. A tank belonging to the North Vietnamese Army crashed through its main gate, ending the Vietnam War. Today, it's a must-visit for tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. The palace is like a time capsule frozen in 1975. You can see two of the original tanks used in the capture of the palace parked in the grounds. Reunification Palace was the home and workplace of the French Governor of Cochin-China. It has lush gardens, secret rooms, antique furniture, and a command bunker. It's still in use to host important occasions in Ho Chi Minh, including APEC summits.
War Remnants Museum
The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City first opened to the public in 1975. Once known as the ‘Museum of American War Crimes’, it's a shocking reminder of the long and brutal Vietnam War. Graphic photographs and American military equipment are on display. There's a helicopter with rocket launchers, a tank, a fighter plane, a single-seater attack aircraft. You can also see a conventional bomb that weighs at 6,800kg. American troops had used these weapons against the Vietnamese between 1945 and 1975.

5.00Lawrence was a very good tour guide. He explained everything very nicely to us and in great detail. The tour was very informative and we saw all the major highlights in Ho Chi Minh. Lawrence also showed us some hidden gems in Ho Chi Minh separate from the itinerary. We had a wonderful time on the tour.

5.00Today I went on a full day tour with lunch provided using the Viator service. I had Tony who was very kind, engaging, and knowledgeable on HCMC and its history throughout every stop we made. I would recommend both Viator and Tony as your tour guide if you want to see the main attractions of HCMC!
