Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before reserving

Q How long does it take from Hue to Phong Nha by private car?

A direct private transfer normally takes approximately 4–5 hours. With sightseeing stops along the way, allow approximately 6–7 hours. These are also the timings currently stated in the itinerary on the website.

Q Can you drop us off in Dong Hoi instead of Phong Nha?

Yes. The existing service offers drop-off at either Phong Nha or Dong Hoi. Please provide your hotel details when booking.

Q Can we visit the DMZ on the way?

Yes. You can request sightseeing stops at Hien Luong Bridge, Ben Hai River and the former DMZ area during your transfer.

Q Can we visit Vinh Moc Tunnels?

I would not automatically add Vinh Moc Tunnels to the standard itinerary. It requires additional travel and sightseeing time. If guests want to visit Vinh Moc Tunnels, treat it as a customized route and confirm the additional time and price separately. This also prevents the transfer page from competing too heavily with your dedicated DMZ/Vinh Moc Tunnels tours.

Q Can we travel with luggage?

Yes. Your luggage can travel with you in the vehicle. Please tell us your group size and number of suitcases so we can arrange a suitable car.

Q Is a tour guide included?

No. This is a private transfer service. A professional English-speaking tour guide can be arranged separately upon request.

Q Does the driver speak English?

Our standard service includes a professional local driver. A good English-speaking driver is available upon request for an additional fee.

"Booked private excursion from Chan May Port. They picked us right on time at port gate and returned 2 hours before ship departure. Saved 50% vs cruise bus and was much more comfortable."
