DMZ-Tour ab Hue City, Vietnam

Had the pleasure of having David guide us on the DMZ tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history and we enjoyed the full day tour with him. Highly recommend David if your interested in doing any tours whilst in Vietnam.

My husband and I had a wonderful day with our guide David. He provided lots of information to my husband and I about the history of the country and conflict over it. We saw many important sites in the demilitarized zone and our guide took great photos along the way. We really appreciated being made so comfortable on a very hot day with an abundant supply of ice cold water. Thank you again for the great tour.

Brilliant day out! Thanks to David our tour guide for an interesting and informative day, highly recommended. Food in the little restaurant was lovely and transport was comfortable. Great day!!

A family member had served in the US military along the DMZ and we wanted to visit places he had been and places we'd heard of. David was able to adjust to our preferences, had helpful historical stories, and was able to fit together for us many things I hadn't understood before. His excellent knowledge of the area and willingness to cope with our preferences was a very big help, e.g. figuring a way to make my wife feel secure going through tunnels. (The tunnels are of course optional.) One of the most remarkable days in our very extensive travels.

My husband and I were seeking a tour that took us into the DMZ of the Vietnam War era, and also to see the Vinh Moc tunnels; David got us there and much more. Our ship was docked in Chan May Bay between DaNang and Hue, so he and our driver Tom obligingly transported us 3 hours to get to the sights we were looking for. Along the way we saw the agrarian side of Vietnam.... farmers working in their rice paddies, cassava fields, peanuts, cashews and bananas, and shrimp farms on the ocean side. We passed through many small country villages and absorbed the simplicity of life in the farming villages of Vietnam. We stopped for a sample of the amazing Vietnam coffee, so delicious!! We also paid a visit to the skeletal remains of the bombed Catholic Church, Long Hung, which stands through time as a war memorial. We saw a lot of beautiful coastline of the East Vietnam Sea, which we had mistakenly been calling the South China Sea. All through the drive David shared the area’s history, and current life of the people of central Vietnam, exactly what we were wanting. We arrived at the Vinh Moc tunnels and trenches, and David filled us in on that amazing engineering feat, and the history of the people’s years of sheltering there as we climbed deep down into the tunnels. Also still visible are craters from bombs that were dropped there. At the DMZ, we walked the bridge over the Ben Hai River at the 17th Parallel, the dividing line between the North and South, and discussed the photos and artifacts in the visitor center/ museum there. David then took us to our meal in a local restaurant that served us traditional family-style, and it was one of the tastiest meals of our trip.... so good! David took many photos of us to document our visit, and kept us well supplied with ice-cold water, and cold towelettes as the day was hot. Our driver Tom was the best, always safe and very smooth operation. We appreciated him very much. We cannot say enough good things about David and the tour he designed for us, it was perfect for us. Thank you very much, David and Tom.
