What To Expect
Khe Sanh Combat Base

Located in a remote mountainous area, it offers a glimpse into the strategic military geography of the region. • Dakrong Bridge This bridge marks the beginning of the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail. Surrounded by rugged mountains and ethnic minority villages, it represents both military significance and cultural depth. • Khe Sanh Combat Base One of the most famous battlefields of the Vietnam War. Here, you’ll visit the former airstrip, sandbag bunkers, and a small museum showcasing weapons, photographs, and stories from the fierce 1968 siege.
Vinh Moc Tunnel
Discover 3 Iconic Sites in the DMZ Area: • Doc Mieu Base A former U.S. military outpost near the 17th parallel, part of the “McNamara Line.” Though little remains, it represents a key piece of wartime strategy. • Hien Luong Bridge & Ben Hai River The symbolic dividing line between North and South Vietnam. Visit the bridge, flag towers, and the small museum that tells the story of a divided nation. • Vinh Moc Tunnels Explore an extensive underground network where over 300 villagers lived during heavy bombing. Learn about daily life underground and the incredible resilience of the local people.

4.00Vinh Moc Tunnels were amazing and well worth the trip. Khe Sanh combat Base was disappointing due to the lack of up keep and while history was amazing not in my opinion worth the 1/2 day drive.

5.00We can recommend this very well organized tour without reservation. Our driver Tom drove very safely and reliably, despite heavy rain. Our tour guide Hay spoke very good English and was happy to share her knowledge of the region and the history of Vietnam. Tom and Hay are also very likeable. We had a very interesting and educational day! Thank you very much!!!

5.00Our driver Sam was great, gave some insight to family Vietnamese life, made the driving lots of fun. Our DMZ guide Tam, enriched our tour with his own personal experiences during the Vietnam war as being been brought up in a village near the DMZ. Being at these historical sites you get a sense of the war from both sides. Great experience well worth the tour.
A great day trip from Hue to see where the US lost so many young men along with their Vietnamese

5.00This was a great tour! We came to vietnam with our friend who served at the Khe Sanh combat base, so we really appreciated the knowlegable and candid tour guide, Hoa. He had a clear understanding about what we were seeing that was original and what was representative. And he was excellent about making himself clear. We learned a lot we didnt know about the history of Vietnam. And Happi our driver was likewise friendly and gave us a great ride. Thanks!

5.00We had a fantastic tour learning so much about the history around the Vietnam war & French occupation. Starting with Tom our driver who was very informative and an extremely safe driver with excellent English . He was happy to stop whenever we needed to use the bathroom or wanted a drink or something to eat . We then picked up our tour guide Min in Quang Tri who is a local from the area and previously lived with his mother in Khe Sanh . Min’s local knowledge and extensive historical knowledge was amazing . He was able to quote what all the US army outposts were by name and point out where all the strategic spots were including showing us historical photos from the war . It rained all day and was quite cool up in the mountains however this tour is very worth doing if you have an interest in the history of the Vietnam war . After a stop for a coffee at a picturesque cafe . We then visited Khe Sanh battle ground where Min was very good at explaining what happened in the battle . This is nothing much more than relics from the war and a small museum however quite nostalgic to have visited . Next we went to Vinh Moc tunnels where Min gave us a thorough explanation of what life was like in these tunnels. We then got to walk through part of the tunnels. The tunnels were an amazing example of engineering with 3. Different levels and housed 75,0000 people . Next we visited the DMZ and due to rain decided to view the old bridge from the car as Min explained lots about the significance of the DMZ . This tour is a very long all day tour but is worth it in my opinion due to personal interest both my husband and I have in the history of Vietnam This experience was definitely enhanced by our awesome driver Tom & tour guide Min .
Impressive day that makes you think
