Overview
Vietnam is a country that has experienced many wars with France, China, and most famously the Vietnam War. Throughout its history, Vietnam has also stood at the crossroads of conflicts between East and West, shaped by events such as World War II, the Cold War, and the China–Soviet split. Therefore, learning about Vietnamese history also helps you discover an important part of the course of world history.
On this tour, you will uncover hidden yet fascinating stories that remain little known—even among many Vietnamese themselves. You will embark on a historical journey that is both sorrowful and heroic, yet deeply engaging, visiting sites where major events truly took place. In particular, you will explore lesser-known locations that even many Hanoi locals rarely notice, such as the Mass Grave, the burial site of victims of the 1945 famine. Here, you will hear the tragic story of the Vietnamese people, when millions lost their lives during this devastating historical famine.
