Great DMZ tour with Adam - We are so glad that we booked this tour - Adam our driver was great and couldn't do enough to help, even helping with an unscheduled trip to a pharmacy! Our guide, whose name I'm afraid I can't recall, was extremely knowledgeable and pitched the talk/tour perfectly to reflector interests and prior understanding. It was great to get the context and impact on the local population of the DMZ.
The tunnels themselves are impressive too. I'm not a fan of confined spaces, but they the about 1.5m tall so we can walk through with a bowed head or slight stoop, I certainly didn't feel claustrophobic and I'm a hefty chap! They are an amazing feet, going up to 23m below ground and split over 3 levels - definitely worth a visit!

Fascinating tour to the DMZ. Highly recommend. - Our guide was knowledgeable and provided interesting insight to the conditions in Vietnam during the war. The museum on the south bank of the river was small but just enough to get you started in the area. The tunnels were amazing and we were able to easily follow our guide throughout the network. Our driver was excellent. You won’t regret taking this tour.

Tunnels a must - The tunnels were the highlight and our guide was very knowledgeable. Our driver was charming and drove in the safest and most relaxed manner that we’ve experienced in Vietnam (which we appreciated).

An all-in-one history Tour with great guide - It was a great experience and really interesting! Our Tourguide Thąch gave us many information about the vietnam war, the DMZ and the tunnel system. As a local she could give us a good impression of the people and their living back then. I can highly recommend this Tour!
We were picked up by our driver Duc. He brought us save to all the spots and has great driving skills.

Great DMZ half day - The tour was excellent, the car was very comfortable and the guide who we picked up in Dong Na was very knowledgeable. The tunnels were very interesting as were the sites we visited.
Even though it was only the half day, it did not seemed rushed.
Overall I would highly recommend this Company and experience to anyone visiting Hue.
