Wonderful day in Hue.

Our tour guide is Oanh, she’s super cheerful, knowledgable and attentive. She guided us through every sites in our itinerary and also gave us free time to explore on our own. I learned a lot more about Vietnamese history through this trip with her. I really recommend this tour to everyone who base their accommodation in Hoi An or Danang. The time spent at each sites is well enough for you to enjoy at relax pace and you could see beautiful scenery during the journey to Hue. The itinerary is well planned, you get to see the tomb, pagoda and palace, all in one day, which is very inclusive for first time visitor. The group is small so the interactions between everyone are very lovely. I totally recommend! Plus their car is super comfortable!

Amazing tour!

Oanh was an incredible tour guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She was always ready to take pictures or help you with anything you needed. The tour is very well organized, it's a very full day and it wouldn't have been as good without her pointing out all the small details and allowing us time to wander on our own.

Great experience with awesome tour guide Oanh

Hue Trip with Fun Cool Guide, Vi

It was my solo trip to Da Nang/Hue so I was little worried but our guide Vi made the trip full of laughters and great memories. It was a big group but she organized the schedule and arranged the transportation very well and made everyone laugh with her stories and jokes. She is also a great photographer - I was alone and having hard time taking photos but she always asked me for taking photos. Thanks Vi for all your endeavors - hope we can meet again!
