Minh Mang Tomb who ascended the throne in 1820 under the name of Minh Mang. He died at the age of 52, after a reign of 21 years, Tomb of King Minh Mang has an air of magnificence and formality, and it architectural design harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings.

Sam was great. English very good. He was prompt and nice clean car. Perhaps it’s my fault for not reading the booking details more closely, but for $60 USD in Hue, I expected tours to be included. Instead he basically just drops you off and you go explore on your own. (It would be less per person if multiple people went in the same car, but still.) I told Sam and he said TripAdvisor or Viator gets a huge piece of that fee—30 or 40%—but at the end of the day, it was very expensive for what I got. I had to hire an additional tour guide inside the Citadel to show me around—200K dong or about $8USD to learn the history.
Thank you very much for your feedback and for your kind words about Sam. We’re happy to hear that you appreciated his English, friendliness, punctuality, and clean car. We understand your concern about the pricing. Our service is designed as a private car experience rather than a traditional group tour with a full-time guide included. One important benefit is that there is no strict time limit at each stop — guests can explore comfortably at their own pace without feeling rushed. Many travelers also appreciate having a friendly English-speaking driver who can communicate easily and assist throughout the trip. Private tours are naturally more expensive than shared group tours because the vehicle and driver are reserved exclusively for you. While there are cheaper transportation services available in Hue, the service quality, flexibility, comfort, cleanliness, and English communication may not be the same level as what we aim to provide. You are also correct that platforms like TripAdvisor and Viator take a significant commission from bookings, often around 20–30% or more, which affects the final price travelers see. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and hope you still enjoyed your time exploring Hue. Thank you again for choosing our service.
Our driver Sam was fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. As well as taking us to the key sites he took us to the local market in Hue and even helped us bargain for gifts just like the locals!
We had super smart and nice driver Sam. He told us a lot of stories about Wietnam and it was even more interesting than highlights (which was exotic and beatifull).
Dear traveller, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed your time with our driver and that the trip and highlights made a great impression. Best regards, Stop and Go Team.
We went to Hanoi from Halon Bay with Culture Pham travel. Well organised, very comfortable, flexible and an all round great day out. The communication and booking process with Mrs Thu was super easy with really clear information and instructions. We were met by our driver Mr Hien who was very polite and professional and a very good driver particularly when we in Hanoi as the traffic is incredible. The 7 seater was immaculate and water provided, we even stopped for coffee on the way. We met our guide Mr Hieu who was really good, very experienced and full of interesting information. He guided us all day, either in the vehicle or on foot and was great fun with very good spoken English. He even took fantastic photos on his phone and transferred them all to us at the end of the trip. Hanoi is a must see city and we had one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Many sights, loads of stories and background, traditional lunch, Train street (unbelievable) and a walk through downtown- amazing.
I've had a very nice time with Hoa ! He drove me to the main attractions in Hue, gave me lots of advice and i've learnt a lot about Vietnamese history from him. He's also pretty funny too, so the whole tour was a great experience. I definitely recommend !
They were flexible and picked me up and dropped me off at the airport which was great. As this was a solo tour, I could see many places at my own pace. However, the “guide” is more of a driver who takes you to places and does not guide you the sites. He only gave limited information about the site before arriving there. Also his English was only ok and could not answer further questions.
Dear Kazue, Thank you very much for your feedback. We will do our best to arrange a driver who can provide more detailed information during the trip. However, the driver will not accompany you inside the attractions like a private tour guide. If you prefer a tour with a professional guide, we also have other tour options available. Kind regards, Thien Nguyen Tour Operator
It was an excellent way to visit the main highlights of Huế. Thanks to this service, we were able to see three Imperial Tombs, the pagoda, and the Citadel. We were not rushed and could truly enjoy our day in Huế. We do wish the title of this tour were “Driving Service to See Huế’s Major Highlights,” as that would better reflect the experience. Safe driver and very clean car. But overall, it was absolutely worth it!!
Great day in Hue! Our tour guide, Hoa, was wonderful. He was friendly, spoke great English, and was very knowledgeable. He messaged me in WhatsApp the day prior to confirm pickup time and location. I heard from him again the morning of the tour letting us know he was on the way. I really enjoyed our conversation on the way to each tour location explaining the history and context of each site. It made for a wonderful and educational day in Hue. I highly recommend this tour.
Dear Customer, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip and appreciated your driver. We will continue to improve our services to ensure our customers are always satisfied. Best regards, Stop and Go Team
We had a fantastic day enjoying Hue’s historical attractions because of our guide Hoa. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful, kind, and informative he was. He arrived a few minutes ahead of our pick up time, brought us waters, and adjusted the itinerary so we could get to see everything we wanted to see. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get a good sense of the history in beautiful Hue. Thank you Hoa!
Not having too much time it allowed me to get an overview of the different historical sites. Phuoc. (Happiness) was very interesting and kind throughout, thank you very much. On time every time and always smiling. Thanks to him. I recommend because the car was nickel and the driving impeccable.
