What is the DMZ? Understanding the Demilitarized Zone

H2: The DMZ Tour Itinerary: What You Will See

Our carefully crafted itinerary ensures you visit the most significant historical sites and gain a comprehensive understanding of the DMZ’s importance.

• 08:00 AM: Hotel Pickup in Hue City. Your professional tour guide and private driver will meet you at your hotel to begin your journey. The drive north on Highway 1A offers beautiful countryside views and serves as the perfect setting for your guide to provide historical context.
• First Stop: Long Hung Church. We begin our tour at the Long Hung Church, a national relic that stands as a powerful testament to the heroic battle for the Quang Tri Citadel. Your guide will explain how this once-grand church was scarred by intense fighting, marking a significant chapter in the war.
• Next Stop: The Ho Chi Minh Trail and The Rockpile. We continue along the famous Route 9, tracing a segment of the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail, the crucial supply route for North Vietnamese forces. Along the way, you’ll see the towering limestone outcrop known as The Rockpile, a strategically vital U.S. observation post.
• Mid-Day: Khe Sanh Combat Base. This is the heart of our battlefield tour. Khe Sanh was the site of one of the longest and deadliest battles of the war. At the former base, you can explore the preserved bunkers, a small museum displaying military artifacts, and the remnants of the airfield. This stop offers a sobering and detailed look at the conflict.
• Lunch: We will break for a delicious lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant, giving you time to reflect on the morning’s sites and prepare for the afternoon.
• Afternoon: The Vinh Moc Tunnels. Prepare to go underground! The Vinh Moc Tunnels are an incredible feat of human engineering and resilience. These tunnels were a complete underground village where hundreds of civilians lived for years to escape the relentless American bombing. Walking through these passages provides an emotional and eye-opening perspective on the war from the civilian’s point of view.
• Final Stop: The 17th Parallel. Before returning to Hue, we will visit the symbolic Hien Luong Bridge and the Ben Hai River. The bridge, with its two colors, once marked the 17th Parallel—the official border between North and South Vietnam. A visit to the nearby museum will provide further insight into the division of the country and the struggle for reunification.
• Return to Hue: Our guide and driver will ensure a comfortable and safe return to your hotel in Hue City, concluding your memorable DMZ tour.
