Wonderful insights into the Vietnam War and surrounding circumstances - I looked up the best operators to do this private tour. Without doubt this was worth the money from start to finish. Mr Phuoc was the driver and was there a few minutes before we came down. He was courteous and attentive. His driving throughout the day was careful and considerate and he made us feel safe throughout - something you cannot take for granted in SE Asia.
We picked up Ms Hai and she immediately explained the tour and what we would do. She then started to explain all the history of how the Vietnamese War (American War) came to be. She explained the french rule and how that ended and transitioned into the war with the USA. Her knowledge was extensive but she pitched it at a really understandable level that made everything completely clear. Throughout the day she brought the places we visited to life with more information and stories from the war. My wife and I absolutely recommend this tour if you really want to know the detail of the struggle of the Vietnamese people.

History nerd delight minus half the day in a car - I was tempted to give 4 stars because of these two negatives. However I won’t because one of them I knew about ahead of time and another is personal to just me.
-you are driving in a car for 4-5 hours. Out of the 9 hours you are driving for have of it - be aware.
-if you’re super knowledgeable about Vietnam war history, this actually might not be as mind blowing as you’d expect. I’m a history teacher and I guess I didn’t find myself too “wow’d”.
Nevertheless our tour guide Ms. Hai and the driver Mr. Hao were awesome. Very personable, very informative, paced the tour to our liking (we skipped a spot and spent more time at another, we weren’t rushed on anything we wanted to see). They both answered our questions on anything we asked. Driving was a little crazy and aggressive but that is every driver in Vietnam so just accept / expect that and you’ll be good. Ms. Hai was very clear in her details and story telling of various history, and Mr. Hao had a great sense of humor and was very respectful and fun to cruise with.
Khe sanh was a big field that has been remodeled with fake trenches and replica sfuff, and a few US tanks / aircraft that were salvaged to post up at the spot. Still cool to see and be there.
The tunnels were super awesome. Hard to move around in but easy compared to the really small and tourist crowded cu chi tunnels outside of Saigon.
What I did like about the very long drive was how ‘deep’ we went into the countryside. You def got to experience and get a taste of rural Vietnam and places not traveled too much by tourists. Overall I’ll still give this 5 stars and would recommend to anyone that is a history buff. Just be ready to spend half the tour in a car.

Great history lesson - I found Ma Thach and Mr Hao to be wonderful and knowledgable hosts. I asked to be taken to the DMZ above Hue . Ms Thach was extremely knowledgable of the history of Vietnam, its colonization period and the factors leading up to the more recent war. Her local perspective definitely changed my perpsective.in a most positive way. The expedition was well worth it. I highly recommend it,
thank you

Excellent tour. Highly recommended - I had a great time on this private tour to the DMZ and a side trip to the Khe Sahn. Mr Lieu, my driver did an excellent job getting us around the sites and took some very professional looking photos of me at a couple of stops. Highly recommended, very professional company. I hope to use them again some day.

Great trip - would recommend - Great trip with our guide Ms. Thach and our driver Mr. Hau. Lots of great insight into what can be a complicated history. Would recommend.
As a note on expectations there is quite a bit of driving as things are a bit spaced out.

Best tour and transfer company!!! - I highly recommend booking a tour and transfer service with this company. I messaged them through WhatsApp and they were quick and efficient in accommodating my needs. We had a private tour of the Vinh Moc tunnels with Ms. Thach who was extremely prepared in answering all our questions and her English was perfect. She was also extremely kind with me since I am a bit claustrophobic. Our driver, Mr. Luyen, was professional and very nice. We had a last minute change of plans and the company and driver helped us out by bringing us to our new destination which was an extra 2-hour drive. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic day out would recommend - My family visiting from the UK and my 8 year old daughter and I who live in Singapore had a wonderful day with our driver Mr. Hao and our tour guide Ms. Thach on a full day tour of the DMZ and the vinh moc tunnels and would recommend this tour along with our driver and tour guide.
Mr. Hao was an excellent driver making his was skillfully through the 3.5-4 hour journey from Da Nang where we were staying. Ms. Thach deep knowledge on the history leading up to the Vietnam war, war itself and post war was impressive. I learnt so much about led to the US involvement despite thinking I knew a lot I actually knew very little and is very interesting whilst being incredibly sad about the Vietnamese people endured.
I was a little apprehensive about the tunnels being narrow and small, yet despite being over 6ft (I did have to crouch) but not any point did I or my 70 year old mum feel paniced or claustrophobic. Compared to other tunnel systems in Vietnam these were comfortable to navigate and Ms. Thach did an excellent job to ensure that we were only the ones in a certain part of the tunnel at any given point in time.
During our visit to Vietnam we did many tourist activities and my 8 year old daughter said this was her favourite, even over sun world and all the rides.
Per my earlier comment I would recommend this tour and request Mr. Hao and Ms. Thach.

Fantastic tour of DMZ and tunnels - The whole family, including 2 teenagers, really enjoyed this drive and tour of the DMZ and tunnels with Mr Tai (driver) and Mr Tam (guide). We learned a great deal about Vietnam's history from Mr Tam, along with many fascinating personal insights from his experiences of the American Vietnam war. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, it was a highlight of our trip to Vietnam. Mr Tai was an excellent driver and helpful too. Many thanks. We highly recommend this activity.
