Unique mark
Located at 145 Tran Quang Khai Street (Tan Dinh Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), the correct name of this place is the Saigon - Gia Dinh Commando Museum. Originally a secret operational base for the commando forces, the building retains its original architectural style and has become a vibrant historical site.
Moreover, destinations that were once bases and weapons depots of the Saigon commando forces also hold a special appeal for locals and tourists. With arrangements that almost perfectly preserve their original state, these sites transport visitors back in time through the stories of living witnesses to history. Visitors can also enjoy coffee and rice dishes in the atmosphere of the former commando soldiers.
The Saigon - Gia Dinh Commando Museum has made a special impression on locals and tourists alike.
Having just experienced the "Saigon – Ho Chi Minh City Past and Present" tour organized by Vietluxtour Travel, Ms. Thu Tuyet (residing in District 1) suggested that these destinations should be widely promoted to students so that they can better understand their cultural and historical significance.
Living in Ho Chi Minh City, Diễm Quỳnh (a resident of Bình Thạnh District) was surprised to find that a seemingly familiar destination offered a vivid historical narrative upon entering.
Experiencing the fried dough sticks dipped in butter coffee and the traditional Korean-style broken rice dish at Do Phu Cafe – a dish once enjoyed by Saigon's aristocracy – in a nostalgic setting, Ms. Hong Hanh (a tourist from Hanoi) commented: "This is the first time I've visited such a wonderful program that combines experiences with revolutionary traditional education , suitable for all ages."
Ms. Taylor (an Australian tourist) said she was very impressed by the stories from historical witnesses of the Saigon commando unit. The Australian tourist was particularly grateful for the courage and fighting spirit of the elite force who, despite being captured and tortured by the enemy, remained steadfast and did not reveal a single word.
Business consensus
As one of the first businesses to develop and organize Saigon Commando tours for tourists from 2019 to the present, Vietluxtour Travel has created a diverse and unique mark for the cultural and historical tour segment. To develop effective products, the company has taken into account tourist feedback and improved its products to be more vibrant and suitable to customer preferences.
Mr. Tran The Dung, General Director of Vietluxtour, shared: "We expect the Saigon Commando program not only to attract international tourists but also to become one of the city's signature products, creating a unique and meaningful impression on tourists from other provinces and cities across the country."
Mr. Tran Quang Duy, Director of Penguin Travel Service Joint Stock Company - a company specializing in inner-city tours in Ho Chi Minh City - also assessed that the destinations of the Saigon Commando Unit were always "hot" in 2022 and 2023.
According to the tour price from this agency, for 450,000 VND, guests will receive breakfast and lunch with authentic Saigon cuisine, a visit to the secret underground mailbox of the former commando soldiers; and a visit to the national historical site of the secret weapons bunker and the Saigon - Gia Dinh Commando Museum.
"It's not just a historical story; the Saigon Commando tour also incorporates the culture of old Saigon, its way of life, and is flexibly designed to meet the needs of customers. This has become one of the 'hot' destinations in Ho Chi Minh City because businesses are working together to promote and market the product to the market and collaborate on it," Mr. Duy shared.
