This full-day deluxe group tour from Hue lasts about 10 to 11 hours and explores the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and four important war museums and relics from the Vietnam War. The tour begins at 7:30 AM with a hotel pickup in central Hue. An English-speaking guide knowledgeable in Vietnam War history accompanies the group throughout the day. The first stop is Quang Tri Citadel, where visitors spend around 30 minutes exploring sites including Horror Highway, known for intense fighting and heavy casualties, Long Hung Church, one of the few buildings remaining from the 1972 Eastern Offensive, and the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel, heavily bombed during the war and now a memorial site. Next, the tour continues to the Khe Sanh Combat Base area. Along the way, the group passes Dakrong Bridge, historically significant as the start of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and now a suspension bridge. There is also an opportunity to see the nearby Paco minority village. At Ta Con Airport, now the Khe Sanh Combat Base Museum, visitors view captured U.S. tanks and aircraft from the Battle of Khe Sanh, where 197 U.S. planes were reportedly lost. Free snacks are provided, and local Khe Sanh coffee is available for purchase. After a break, the tour proceeds to additional war sites. It visits Hien Luong Bridge over the Ben Hai River, the former border between North and South Vietnam until reunification 21 years after the Geneva Agreements. The final stop is the Vinh Moc Tunnel complex and museum, a network of tunnels used during heavy bombing to shelter villagers and support resistance efforts. The tour includes transportation with air conditioning, an English-speaking guide, lunch, bottled water, entrance fees, and travel insurance. Personal expenses, tips, and drinks are not included. The group size is limited to a maximum of 12 people.
