The DMZ, once the border between North and South Vietnam, extends from the Laos border to the coast, about five kilometers on either side of the Ben Hai River, near the 17th Parallel. On this tour, you'll visit key sites such as the Khe Sanh Combat Base, Vinh Moc Tunnels, and Hien Luong Bridge with the Ben Hai River.
