We do assign some rest stop along the way from Da Nang city to the DMZ for your stretching out or a lunch break (upon your request). You can ask for a break at any time you find it necessary and can bring any snack, foods along to skip lunch break. There's opportunity for you to discover local food specialties with stop at local restaurant which not-many-tourists know. This is also very suitable for those who love photography since you would travel the most beautiful part of Vietnam with mountains, rivers, sea, sand, blue clear sky with clean air environment, no pollution, evergreen acacia forest. We hope to bring you safety first by assigning a driver and a guide, not driver-cum-guide as we understand the long journey nature of this trip and also the organized chaos of Vietnam traffic.
