About
The Ho Chi Minh Complex is one of the most important historical and cultural landmarks in Vietnam. It serves as a memorial to President Ho Chi Minh – the founding father of independent Vietnam. We believe that one of the most exciting parts of this experience is being accompanied by professional local tour guides who are passionate about history and culture, and who will provide you with fascinating insights into Vietnam’s history that are difficult to find elsewhere.
This trip also gives you the opportunity to explore one of the most interesting places in Hanoi: B-52 Lake, a lake that still contains a piece of a U.S. B-52 bomber as a historical relic from the period when Hanoi was bombed. ...
