Highlights
  • Vinh Moc Tunnel - Quang Tri which was the province capital of that area, is located in the Central Region of Vietnam, near the crossways between North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The province preserves many remains from the anti-American resistance war such as the ancient citadel of Quang Tri, Khe Sanh Combat Base, Truong Son National Cemetery, Truong Son trail, Vinh Moc Tunnels, Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River.

Vinh Moc Tunnel complex. The tunnels were dug and used as shelters by local village families during the American Vietnam War to escape all the continious bombings.

  • Khe Sanh Combat Base - Khe Sanh Combat Base was never overrun, but saw the bloodiest battle of the war. About 500 Americans, 10,000 North Vietnamese troops and uncounted civilian bystanders died around this remote highland base. It’s eerily peaceful today, but in 1968 the hillsides trembled with the impact of 1000kg bombs, white phosphorus shells, napalm, mortars and endless artillery rounds, as desperate American forces sought to repel the NVA.

Great day learning more about the Vietnam war - Great day out exploring about the Vietnam War. Our driver picked us up at 8 am to visit the Long Hưng Church- Quang tri citadel - Khe sanh combat base- Hien lương bridge/ Ben hai river- Vinh Moc Tunnels. One of the better drivers we have had already in Vietnam (he was not honking all the time and did not do anything too dangerous) and Thach, our guide, was very knowledgeable and could speak English very well. We got back in our hotel around 7 pm, so it was a long day. With more investment of the government, the Khe Sanh combat base could be so much more however. Personal highlight were the Vinh Moc Tunnels. Our guide even bought us some local specialities for lunch and dinner. Highly recommended

DMZ private tour - Another amazing day with guide Linh and driver Duc . We saw places we have only read about and saw on TV . To experience these places in person and to hear the history was a sufficient eye opener . Lumch was delicious also . Thank you Sky for arranging another perfect tour . Looking forward to our next in Hoi An .

DMZ & Vinh Moc Tunnel tour 👍 - An excellent trip to learn more about this terrible war in Vietnam. Our guide Hoa was so nice and very knowledgable, as an older traveller i grew up watching the uncensored news reels as the war progressed . Hoa really educated me on the complexities of the war and those involved. The Vinh Moc tunnels are amazing.
