Discover some of the places through which Vietnam remembers the Vietnam War on this historical tour from Huê. Instead of exploring these memorials and landmarks with a distracting tour group and a guide reading from a script, explore these places at your own pace with a lovely guide. Visit landmarks like the Long Hung Church and Hien Luong Bridge, which marks the war’s Demilitarized Zone, and go deep into the Vịnh Moc tunnels that many Vietnamese lived in during the war.
Spent the day with Tien. Met at hotel and driven 400 kms. Stopped many places along the way and learnt about the sites. Was impressed by the scale of the DMZ, not big at all. With forts and patrols all along, with artillery and air strikes not at all far away, the destruction was overwhelming and at great cost to the people of Vietnam. An educational day, made special with local insight and feelings shared by our guide Tien.
Great experience with my lovley veteran guide! He knew everything I think this is my best tour so far in Vietnam!
Had a drive with Tien today from Huê to Khe Sanh, thru the DMZ to Vinh Moc Tunnels. An easy day with lots of stopping for sights along the way. At each stop we had lots of info and local insights. An essential trip to learn about a sad time in the history of Vietnam. Considerate and polite service all day, everything we asked for was a pleasure, thanks Tien!
