We did a one-day tour of the DMZ with Mr. Vu of Annam Tour in March 2011. Originally, my wife and I plus the kids (6 & 9 years old) just wanted to stay in Hue for two days, but after reading the favorable reviews of Mr. Vu here on Tripadvisor, we decided to extend by one day. Luckily, he could slot us in on short notice. All the excellent reviews are justified, this was by far our best guide in Vietnam and a most memorable day.
Mr. Vu sent a car with a driver to Hue to pick us up at the hotel at 07:30, driving up to Dong Ha, where we met Mr. Vu himself. After a restroom stop and a quick coffee we were on our way. First Mr. Vu did a quick assessment of our level of knowledge and interests for the trip. I have read fairly widely about military history in general, but not so much on the Vietnam War, whereas my wife only knew the outline, not to speak of the kids. Mr. Vu managed very nicely to combine these different outlooks, e.g. giving my wife with the kids time to browse the war relics out side the Khe Sanh museum, while he took me on a short walking tour of the former fixed wing airstrip and the perimeter.
On the way to Khe Sanh we stopped at different points (e.g. Rockpile), and he gave us a rundown of the terrain and tactics employed. Having been a soldier myself (luckily in times of relative peace only), I can attest to his acute eye for detail. We also stopped at a Montagnard (Hoa) village and climbed down to the river, where he told a story for the kids about fording rivers on the Ho Chi Minh trail (then) and slash-and-burn agriculture of the Hoa (now).
The drive back from Khe Sanh to Dong Ha (for a lunch break) is quite long, and could be used for a nap. Instead, we talked about conditions in South Vietnam post 1975, which was really interesting, especially comparing it to our home country Germany, which was was also formerly divided.
After lunch we went to the actual DMZ, stopping at a war cemetery per my request. It was a good opportunity to make the point to our kids that war is not about cool military hardware, but mainly about killing and dying. The bridge over the Ben Hai river was next, with an interesting outline of the forced population changes in either direction. The monument of the longing Vietnamese woman contains quite a few ironies. The museum on the northern side of the river is very heavy on propaganda, even for Vietnam. The tunnels of Vinh Moc were the highlight of the tour for the whole family.
Afterward it was back to Dong Ha to drop off Mr. Vu, and then on to the hotel in Hue. The tour had taken about 1,5 hours longer then advertised due to our questions and lingering at some sites, but Mr, Vu always obliged us. The price stayed the same. Mr. Vu has the best English we heard from a native Vietnamese during our tour. His delivery and knowledge of military history (he is a history teacher with a university degree and has read widely) made the tour so interesting. We wish him the best of luck and would consider a visit to Hue or the DMZ without a tour with Mr. Vu quite a loss.

What our clients say about us?
Marvelous - Mr. Vu is a Vietnam military history aficionado
Private DMZ tour from Hue with Mr. Vu
I had an extraordinary day with Mr. Vu touring the DMZ. What makes the tour fulfilling is Mr. Vu himself. He's filled with so much knowledge about the American war, and he shared so many resources, that it's Mr. Vu's expertise that separates Annam Tour from the other tours.
Mr. Vu is still a war history enthusiast and it shows. It's in the way he tells the stories behind fire bases like Camp Carroll, and how he shares pictures from surveillance bases like Rockpile. It's in how he retells the history behind the DMZ and the stories of the fishing community in the Vinh Moc Tunnels.
In addition to the tour, Mr. Vu is just an all around great guy to hang out with for the day. We enjoyed local lunch and dinner together and kept in contact after the day was over. He even set me up with another war history enthusiast friend of his based in Saigon for an excellent tour of the city's conflict history.
Furthermore, Mr. Vu's presentation of the history is graceful, tasteful and unbiased. You can expect from him a history of facts and tactics. Any moralizing or philosophizing you seek will be left up to you to do during your own time.
Why squander your time with scripted, run-of-the-mill DMZ tours? If you've made it all the way to Vietnam and have chosen to learn about it's complicated, resilient history, learn about it from an well-read expert in Mr. Vu.
Private DMZ tour from Hue
Custom Central Highlands Multi - Day Tour
As a World and Vietnamese American History teacher there were a number of places I wanted to visit in the Central Highlands that were part of one tour or another or just places of specific interest to me that I wished to see. Mr. Vu was able to put together a 3 day 2 night comprehensive tour that visited over a dozen places that I specifically wanted to see. We got to all my places and then some! Mr. Vu went above and beyond in the execution of the tour making sure that I got what I wanted (including just the right picture) even if not necessarily convenient. He is very knowledgeable and offered a non-biased even handed commentary which was refreshing. The SUV we traveled in was very comfortable and the nightly accommodations were good. Food choices along the way allowed for a wide variety appropriate to the region. I have been on a multi-day tour with Mr. Vu before to Hamburger Hill and the DMZ. I have no doubt I will book with him in the future and highly recommend him
Excellent tour, great guide
I had read a lot about the ‘American war’ and wanted to visit this area. I even managed to convince my wife to come on this tour, and we both loved it, despite her attending mostly for my benefit! Vu really brings the area to life with documentary pictures on his iPad and detailed explanations of all the areas and the history around them. He has a huge knowledge of the area in general, not just from the recent war but back into French colonial times.
Seeing places like Khe Sanh and the Rockpile which were household names during the war is so significant when visiting Vietnam. We were lucky enough to meet a NVA veteran visiting the national cemetery and he spoke to us for a long time (Mr Vu translating) about his time deployed near Danang and the DMZ doing reconnaissance. Many visitors don’t go to this area (despite it being really quite scenic) which I think is to the detriment of any trip. Visiting these places and considering how overseas intervention shaped and changed this country can really frame the rest of your trip. If you have a spare 24 hrs to stay in Dong Ha and do this tour I would thoroughly recommend it. (As a side note, 24hrs in Dong Ha is plenty for any traveller I think!)
A guide like Mr. Vu is essential because finding these areas today would be too hard alone. He was very accommodating and was able to drop us back off at the station at the end of the tour for our journey up to the National Park. Thanks Vu!
Awesome 2 day tour
Private Hamburger hill tour from Hue
After doing some research and reading reviews I contacted Vu from Annam Tour a few weeks before our trip. I booked a 2 day tour and can now say it was one of the highlights of our vacation. Mr. Vu picked us up at our hotel in Hue and we headed north toward the former DMZ. At the Vinh Moc tunnels we met 3 Veterans (Marines) that Vu had helped the day before to get up to hill 558 near Khe Sanh. They joined our visit of the tunnels which was very interesting! Rest of the day included several stops at former firebases and of course Khe Sanh and Lang Vei. We stayed overnight in Lao Bao. The 2nd day we drove through the beautiful Da Krong valley and into Ashau valley. There we hiked up Dong Ap Bia ( Hamburger Hill ). Definitely the highlight of the tour! From the Ashau we headed back east towards Hue with more stops at former firebases. Vu has an awesome knowledge about the war and showed us a lot of pictures and maps on his Ipad. He is a great guide and driver! Would definitely recommend this tour to people who are interested in history and of course to Veterans.

Brilliant day tour from Hue to DMZ
Private DMZ tour from Hue
My boyfriend and I booked Mr Vu for a day tour of the DMZ from Hue. We had a fantastic day - Mr Vu’s car was very comfortable and had surround sound which was great for when we were watching the Vietnam War programs on his iPad. The programs helped to pass the journey (which is long, but didn’t feel it) and set the scene for the places we would visit. The scenery is also beautiful.
Mr Vu was extremely knowledgable about the war and activities around the DMZ (he acts as driver and guide) and his passion of the subject shone through. He had pictures on the iPad of what the places had looked like during the war which really added to the visits. His English was also impressive.
We would definitely recommend taking a tour with him, it’s more expensive than a group tour but is really worth it. Thank you Mr Vu!

Customised DMZ tour
Private Khe Sanh & DMZ tour from Hue
This was a fantastic tour by the hugely knowledgeable and engaging Mr. Vu, and we had a fascinating day - one of the main highlights of our holiday.
In an ideal world we would have done the Hamburger Hill tour, but unfortunately did not have enough time and so we had contacted the responsive Mr. Vu before booking this tour, as we wished to at least have an opportunity to walk a little into the "jungle" areas, to get a little bit of a taste for what the scenery off the road was like.
True to his word, we stopped off near Ca Lu, and headed up a small path to the site of an ex-marine base. It was only a small hill and was now farmed, but it really gave an impression of the undergrowth/forest in the area. A very good little side trip, even though it did mean we missed out on the tunnels (not a problem as we had earlier visited Cu Chi).
The rest of the tour was equally fascinating, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the American war.
Private Khe Sanh & DMZ tour from Hue
DMZ, Quang Tri and beyond, this is the tour to take!
I completed my second year of tours with Annam Tour a few days ago, ending in Hue. Considering the wealth of knowledge Mr. Vu has of his subject, the price is far more than reasonable. I doubt if any veteran of the American War has the overall knowledge Mr. Vu has. He speaks fluent English. Which allows him to converse on subjects beyond the conflict. Annam Tour can also arrange transfers, hotel bookings and tours throughout most of Vietnam. There ability to be flexible and meet any specific needs or requirements one person or group may have, is also a corner stone of service. I intend on using Annam Tour in the coming years. I cannot recommend Mr. Vu highly enough.
Hamburger Hill/DMZ 2 day tour
Mr. Vu is a true professional. I was picked up where and when he said and dropped off at the time stated. I did the 2 day Hamburger Hill/DMZ tour. The hotel at Lao Bao was excellent, the restaurants we ate at were tasty and added to the cultural experience, and the sites we saw and visited were numerous and interesting. The tour was reasonably priced and I really feel I got my monies worth. Mr. Vu is also extremely knowledgeable from multiple perspectives, knows even most obscure facts (yes I researched later), and was very patient with my questions and thoughts throughout the tour. He was there when I needed him but also gave me time to explore and reflect on my own. I never felt rushed and he made it “my tour” allowing a little flexibility with things I was interested in. I’m already planning another trip and tour with Annam Tour in the future…
Two day Hamburger Hill & Khe Sanh
Hamburger hill & Khe Sanh tour
Firstly I'd like to offer 3 pieces of advice to anybody looking to undertake a fantastic tour where you are the 1 priority for the entire tour.
1. Book a tour with Mr. Vu
2. Book a tour with Mr. Vu
3. Follow rule no.1 or no.2
Early February 2016 I enquired with Mr. Vu about a two day tour to work in with my 19 day 1st time trip to Vietnam. I was organising. Mr. Vu was quick to respond and suggested a tour.
I booked private two day August 11-12 tour which consisted of Hamburger Hill , Khe Sanh combat base, firebase Birmingham, Lang Vei Special forces camp, the old American Marines look-out Rockpile, Peace bridge over Ben Hai river at the 17th parallel and Vinh Moc tunnel. With a stay overnight at the border town of Lao Bao near Khe Sanh. The price inclusive of 1-2 persons, a private car with driver Toan, guided by Mr. Vu, one night accommodation with dinner at Lao Bao, entrance and permission fees for all sites.
The trip speaks for itself , in a build up to visiting the listed sites along the way we stopped to discuss many other sites not listed, which was great to build up the story of each battlefield site and associated fire support bases that you were about to visit. Meal time was amazing, with the opportunity to sample the local foods. Mr. Vu knowledge of the history of the war was unbiased and impeccable to say the least, the pictures from the past and present day he has available on his IPad were great to take you back in time to relive the moments at each site you visit. Mr. Vu was always willing to answer any questions.
The tour was truely amazing. I will be returning to Vietnam hopefully the following year and do another tour with Mr. Vu and Toan. Do yourself a favour and book a tour YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT
For me what topped the trip off was the little things, my plane was delayed 3 times from HCMC to Hue. I organised a airport pick up and drop off as optional extra. I kept in contact with Mr. Vu to inform his driver that I would be arriving late. When I finally arrived some 2.5 hours later than expected Mr. Toan was courteous, friendly and professional even after waiting for me for hours to arrive. Mr. Toan having worked with Mr. Vu for over 10 years now clearly respects and enjoys his job with Mr. Vu. They are both great company to be around and we shared many story's together over a few beers at dinner.
My last note for those who are wanting to climb to the top of Hill 937 - Hamburger hill. I suggest you start training 6months out if you are not used to that sort of physical activity. The reward will be when you reach the top to visit the monument and pay respects to the fallen. The climb nearly broke me. It was 40deg and 84% humidity. But after dreaming of this day for nearly 30 years as a kid I pushed on breaking through personal mental and physical barriers and made it to the top.
Book the trip and enjoy what Vietnam and Mr. Vu have to offer.
Hamburger hill & Khe Sanh tour
Submitted By: Jake Thorne
Excellent, Highly Recommended
I went for a 2 day tour to Hamburger Hill, Khe Sanh and the DMZ area including the Vinh Moc tunnels, I was interested in learning as much as I could about the war, let me tell you, Mr. Vu has an unbelievable amount of knowledge on this area and the Vietnam/American war in general. It was a fascinating tour, and was brought to life even more with accompanying photographs that M.r Vu brought along to show you what the geography looked like during the war.
Both Mr Vu and the excellent driver Mr Quy made the tour very enjoyable and I would highly recommend to anyone. Best thing I did in Vietnam.

Excellent service and a most enjoyable five days tour of Central Vietnam - the best part.
Our first time to Vietnam and this area of Central Vietnam. We found this company under tours with good reviews and Mr Vu's company was offering multi-day tours and customised if required. So some back and forth emails and a slight change to one of his 5 day packages we visited Hoi An, Hue, the battlefield areas, DMZ and the one area we wanted included - the caves around Dong Hoi - he fitted into the itinerary They were spectacular and whilst the history of Hoi An and Hue was good to see, we particularly enjoy natural scenery around Dong Hoi.
Whilst it would be nice to have Mr Vu as your guide if you had a particular interest in history of the battlefields and the DMZ, we were not disappointed with Mr. Tam (our guide) and Mr. Thang (our driver). He may not be as experienced as Mr. Vu but we found him sufficiently knowledgeable in all our questions on Vietnam and the history of the various areas we visited.
On our way north Mr Tam called into his office at Dong Ha and we met Mr. Vu which was nice.
Mr Tam is a reserved man but we found him engaging and personable and thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He is an asset to your company Mr Vu.
Mr Thang likewise is a reserved man but a good driver and always happy and keeping us well supplied with water.
The whole trip was made most enjoyable by Mr Tam and Mr Thang - we had no worries as they looked after us the whole time.
Excellent Tour : Thanks to Mr Vu
We booked a DMZ tour with Mr. Vu in December 2015 for March 2016; we were picked up at our hotel in Hue at the appointed time by his driver Mr Tan in a fairly new 4x4. We were then taken to Mr. Vu home which doubles as his office in Dong Ha from here the tour starts.
Mr Vu's knowledge of the Vietnam War and politics of the war were exceptional, and his enthusiasm to pass this information on was obvious.
Whilst we stopped to view the Rockpile he found some old sand bags and part of an old Flak Jacket which had been exposed due to current building works, this made his day!! He is clearly a keen collector of military memorabilia.
This tour does contain a lot of driving, as the sites are quite a long way apart, but between sites Mr Vu. has many stills and videos on a tablet to explain in even more detail of what you have just seen or are going to see and he is only too willing to answer any questions. At the sites he escorted us around and explained everything and also gave us some free time.
Mr. Vu’s English is excellent, the whole day was organised and the tour delivered perfectly.
Three week trip from Cu Chi to Dong Ha and on to Hanoi, Vietnam

Vietnam battlefield tour
I am a Vietnam veteran and was a medevac (Dustoff) helicopter pilot in 1971. I wanted to return to visit as many of the places where I flew as possible with my wife and son. My wife found Mr. Vu and Annam tours online and it was the best possible choice ever. Mr. Vu is not just a guide, he is a historian with great depth. We rode in his car from south of Ho Chi Min city to Dong Ha then flying on to Hanoi and meeting up with one of his guides there. Mr. Vu took us on an amazing trip to about 80% of where I served and we were able to meet and interact with amazing local people. We were immersed in Vietnamese culture. The food served where we stopped was fantastic. At each planned stop he explained in detail what happened there and had his iPad to show us what it looked like during the war. I was truly blown away by the lengths he would go to get us to the places we had requested and other spots of great interest. Every place visited was on time but we never felt rushed. This is the highlight of any trip I have ever taken and I would love to go back. When I do I will certainly go when I can get Mr. Vu to work us into his schedule. He is one amazing person.

Best War History Tour Guide in Vietnam
Jun 2018 • Business
Mr. Vu is unquestionably the tour authority on Vietnam War history in Vietnam. He's well read, well prepared, and gives fantastic tours showing all sides of the conflict. He's knowledgeable on the American War and French War as well as general Vietnam history. Took a day tour with him to the A Shau and stopped at several former LZs/Firebases along the way. Amazing vistas, and hard to believe how quickly the jungle reclaims its territory. Hiked Hamburger Hill and took our time exploring the area. Be mindful, Mr. Vu will advise you to follow him and aware that while the Vietnamese People's Army (VPA) has done a good job clearing the area of unexploded ordnance (UXO), be mindful of where you step at all times and follow directions. He knows the terrain well and will ensure you're ok. Bring a camera, water, and other gear dependent on where you plan to go. Weather changes quickly in Central Vietnam, especially in the mountains, so come prepared. Outstanding tour, best in Vietnam. Looking forward to the next one.

An Excellent Day Out on the Khe Sanh - DMZ - Vinh Moc Tunnels Tour
Private DMZ & Vinh Moc tunnels tour from Hue
We did the Khe Sanh - DMZ - Vinh Moc Tunnels Tour with Mr Vu in early May 2019.
Booking the tour was easy, we used the excellent website and after a brief email exchange we were good to go.
Mr Vu collected us from our hotel in Hue spot on time and after introductions we set off on the journey to Khe San. We were given Mr Vu's iPad to watch an informative documentary on the battle of Dien Bien Phu to set some background information that was going to be useful going forward.
As the tour progressed Mr Vu's information and insights together with period photos from his iPad were brilliant and bought the subject to life for us. As an aside, as we left the Khe Sanh base and were driving back through the valley, Neil Young's "Old Man" came onto the stereo in the car randomly - quite evocative.
After a street food nice lunch we moved onto the Freedom Bridge and finally the Vinh Moc Tunnels - again, the insight and history were both fascinating and informative allowing a picture of what life must have been like.
One last thing. Any driving in Vietnam can be an experience, varying from entertaining to worrying. Having spent a good few hours in the car with Mr Vu, he is an excellent driver and at no time did we feel the slightest concern. Overall I cannot recommend Mr Vu or Annam Tours highly enough; brilliant itinerary, a great tour leader, excellent knowledge and fantastic value.

Mr. Vu taught me more than I ever learned in school
What a fantastic experience. We were picked up in Hue and driven to Quang Tri for our rendezvous with Mr. Vu where the lessons began right away and thorough explanations were shared all day long. Vu was very patient as I absorbed all the new information about the sights we were seeing as well as the extra general Vietnam questions I had. His portfolio of supporting photos added to our understanding.
He escorted us around the stops and then gave us some time to explore on our own. Lunch was at a local Vietnamese restaurant and even more descriptions of the war and strategies were reviewed as we sat around the table.
Mr. Vu presents the war sites in a logical & understandable manner - never rushed, but not dragging either. His tour is highly recommended by my husband and me.

Great Battlefield tours of major and minor battlefields along the DMZ from Hue with the Best Tour Company
Battlefield tour Vietnam
I had taken a hotel tour of some of these areas last year, and when given the chance to do a two day tour to revisit the areas with a buddy this year I jumped on the opportunity. I am so glad I did. First of all it was much more educational from the standard Tour. Mr. Vu really knows his history and how to get you to anyplace you may have served or have wanted to see. The travel was comfortable, we were picked up and dropped off at the hotel in Hue (Friendly Hue Hotel aka Than Thien Hotel which was also great). Mr. Vu explained in great detail not only verbally but using pictures from today and historical photos of the same areas taken during the Vietnam war. If you ever wanted to visit Vietnam to visit historical war locations,whereever they are in Vietnam, don't waste your time with less knowledgable tours. Annam Tours is the best. Hopefully you will also make a lifelong friend with Mr.Vu and many people you will see on the tour. He is able to accomodate individuals and groups of various sizes. Annam Tours is the Best investment to really see the battlefields and DMZ.

Amazing Personalized Tour
Review of Annam Tour
We spent 5 days on a personalized itinerary with Mr. Vu with the goal of getting my dad, a veteran, back to some of the places he had served. Mr. Vu took the information we provided and designed a wonderful itinerary. He was extremely knowledgeable of the military history of the sites and shared historial and contempory photos of many areas of interest with us. We had visted the area previously, and had seen some of the locations from a distance. We knew we would need someone with expert knowledge of the area if we wanted to be able to access the spcific areas where my dad had served. That is exactly what we found with Mr. Vu. He knew the trails to take to reach former camps and the top of the hills where firebases had been located and was able to get us to all of the accessible places of interest to us. He was even willing to add a place or two to the itinerary at the last minute. Mr. Vu is the only guide we would consider planning a future trip to the area with!
