Itinerary
At the scheduled time, our experienced driver will pick you up directly from your hotel or homestay in Hue to begin your half-day DMZ tour by private car. Hien Luong Bridge – A powerful symbol of the Vietnamese people's enduring desire for peace and reunification. This bridge once marked the border between North and South Vietnam following the Geneva Agreement in 1954, which was signed after the Dien Bien Phu victory.
Continue drive to the Vinh Moc Tunnels – A highlight of the half-day Hue DMZ tour by private car. Located in Quang Tri province, this extensive tunnel system stands as a testament to the unbreakable spirit and resilience of the Vietnamese people. In 1965, Vinh Moc village was heavily bombed by U.S. forces, prompting the villagers to build an underground network that functioned as a safe haven and living space during the war. After visiting these significant sites, our professional driver will take you back to Hue city, marking the end of your Half-Day DMZ Tour from Hue by Private Car.

We had a very nice tour to the DMZ and the Vinh Moc tunnels with our driver Tho. At both sights we had local guides who gave us all the information. Tho was a very excellent driver, was never in a hurry and provided us with water and a delicious coconut drink :)
Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great tour to the DMZ and Vinh Moc Tunnels, and that the local guides provided meaningful information at each site. It’s especially lovely to know that Tho took such good care of you — driving safely, never rushing, and even treating you to water and a delicious coconut drink 😊 We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope to welcome you again on your next adventure! Warm regards, Hue Private Drivers Team

We had a very nice experience and we have to thank our guide, Try, who was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Try took us along the DMZ, the demilitarised zone on which France and Vietnam agreed to end the Indochina War. A buffer divides the country along the 17th parallel, ideally drawn with a white line on the Hien Luong Bridge. In crossing it, we move from yellow to blue, from north to south. The House of the Union replays images of United Nations representatives meeting to seek a solution to the conflict in Korea and Vietnam. It would be nice if that spirit could also be found today.... We continue to one of the most incredible things I have seen. The Vinh Moc tunnel was dug by the Vietnamese to protect themselves from American bombing. For two years men, women, and children lived underground in this almost 2 km-long tunnel. Men gathered, women cooked, and children were born. I had an attack of claustrophobia after only three meters. On the way back, we pass by expanses of pepper trees, maize fields, and rubber trees. The last stop is yet another evidence of the blanket destruction of people and buildings. The basilic of La Vang is a bombed-out skeleton, which remains there as a reminder of the havoc. Last but not least, Try was an excellent driver. The car was very clean and we felt safe during the entire trip.
