Reisroute
Begin je reis naar Hue, reis langs de noordelijke kust van Da Nang en maak een stop op de top van de Hai Van Pass om de overblijfselen van oorlogsbunkers te verkennen.
Bij aankomst in Hue bezoeken we de Citadel, de belangrijkste attractie van de stad, die de keizerlijke stad, de verboden paarse stad en de privéwoning van de keizer omvat. Gebouwd van 1804 tot 1833 tijdens de Nguyen Dynastie - het laatste feodale koninkrijk in Vietnam - is de Citadel versterkt door 2 kilometer lange wallen en omgeven door een rustige gracht. Binnen in de Citadel kun je verschillende bouwwerken verkennen, waaronder de Keizerlijke Stadspoorten, de Paarse Verboden Stad, maar ook tempels, paviljoens en prachtig aangelegde tuinen. Let op: Bezoekers zijn verplicht om shirts met mouwen en broek te dragen die knieën bedekken wanneer ze de Hue Citadel bezoeken.
Na een korte lunchpauze maken we een boottocht langs de pittoreske Parfumrivier, waarbij we een stop maken bij Thien Mu Pagoda.
Thien Mu Pagode, Dit actieve boeddhistische klooster dateert uit 1601 en herbergt aangrijpende historische tentoonstellingen, waaronder een auto van een voormalige monnik die zichzelf in 1963 in brand stak om te protesteren tegen de behandeling van boeddhisten door het Zuid-Vietnamese regime.
Tot slot bezoeken we het serene koninklijke graf van Khai Dinh, ontworpen om harmonieus te mengen met de natuurlijke omgeving en gebouwd volgens de feng shui principes.

Great tour but a little pricey at $200 USD each, 3 person private tour. Consider group tour if you would like to do cheaper. Very hot also, lucky we had very good air conditioning.
I booked the tour from Danang to Hue with Hoi An Express and had the chance to visit the magnificent Imperial City, the Mausoleum of Emperor Khai Dinh, and the Thien Mu Pagoda. The tour was fantastic and I have to give a special shoutout to our excellent guide Tom and driver Nam. Tom, also known as Mot, was knowledgeable and friendly, providing me with a wealth of information about the history and culture of the area. Nam was a professional and excellent driver, who ensured our safety and comfort throughout the journey. He was driving super safely, which is outstanding in the sometimes chaotic traffic in Vietnam. The tour started on time and I was picked up from my hotel. Despite being the only one who booked the tour, it still took place and I was treated like a VIP. I never felt rushed and all of my questions were thoroughly answered by Tom. We had a delicious lunch, a seven-course meal, served in a nice atmosphere. The car we traveled in was new, had excellent AC, and was super comfortable. We took a scenic route to Hue, which added to the overall experience. The Imperial City of Hue was the highlight of the tour, with its stunning architecture and rich history. The attention to detail in the restoration of the buildings was evident and added to the overall experience. While visiting the Thien Mu Pagoda, I also learned about the religions in Vietnam and the life of the monks. The Mausoleum of Emperor Khai Dinh was also a fascinating visit, showcasing the unique blend of traditional Vietnamese and European architectural styles. I can recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. The combination of scenic drives, historical sightseeing, and an attentive guide and driver made for a truly memorable experience.
We had an impeccable your. Our tour guide, Mr. Mot, ensured that we had a fun time. Would recommend taking this tour of you are in Hoi An.
We really enjoyed our day out in Hue, thanks to Eric and our driver. We had a great time exploring the forbidden city and really appreciated the insight that Eric gave us at the monastery. The lunch was nice.. but probably nicer than it needed to be. We should have been happy to have paid a little less for the tour (it is quite expensive, comparatively) and enjoyed some street food somewhere. Seeing the throne room was amazing, and Eric's descriptions allowed us to really visualise what things would have been like. We were worried that we were stretching things a bit, by doing a day trip here from Hoi An... but it was entirely worth it. Would recommend this to people that have a day to spare. Thank you Eric!
Dear aussiepoida, Warmest greetings from Hoi An Express. Thank you for taking your time with us, again. We are truly happy that you trusted in our service, especially with our guide Eric. It is such grateful that we, and Eric, helped you find some useful information upon what imperial life was actually like then. Last but not least, your finding the trip worthy plays such important compliment and motivation to us to improve our services. We do hope to welcome you back again soon. Best regards with love,
My friend and I were extremely impressed with this tour. Our tour guide Sang was exceptional in all areas. He was helpful, kind, knowledgeable and great at his job. Sang was so nice he even generously paid for my coffee. We also felt safe with our driver at all times even though the traffic was very busy he managed to get us there and back with great ease. Sang has made our trip even better than it already was. I will recommend this tour to all my friends because of the great experience he gave us. Thank you so much Hoi an express. Could not be happier. A special thank you to sang for being such a welcoming and amazing person to have as our guide!

Just finished a Hue day tour today with our great knowledgeable English guide Sang. I am a travel agent visiting from Australia and will be sure to recommend Sang and Hoi An express to my clients as Sang did such a great job. Thank you for your time and expertise. Hoi An express should promote Sang for his great job skills !!! Thank you for a great day.

Moreover, we do appreciate to know that you would recommend us to your family and friends. We are looking forwards to welcoming you again for more amazing tours together! All the best wishes,
Great day visiting the heritage sites in Hue. Boat trip on the river was pleasant but nothing special. Very informative guide although we struggled to understand him at times as his English wasn't that great but he certainly tried and he was very knowledgeable. The Palace and tomb were very interesting.
Was very disappointed by this tour, which we took from Hoi An to Hue on 26 June. The tour guide was really not that good, he seemed more interested in getting us back to Hoi An in record time. As a result he rushed the visits to the Pagoda, the Palace and the Imperial Tomb, giving us very little time to read the information on display. The 6 course restaurant meal was very nice but we would rather have had less time sitting down and more time actually viewing the sights. We had been told by Hoi An Express office that we would leave Hue about 3 pm (we reached Hue at 10.00 as it was a 3 hour journey from Hoi An) but we were in the mini bus and on the return trip by 13.45 - and the guide fell asleep on the way back!!! To be honest we felt we had wasted our money and a day of our holiday.
Many thanks for leaving us an honest and detailed review and recommending our services, we greatly appreciate it. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the amount of activities that we managed to squeeze into your half day tour and found it to be excellent value. We very much regret to hear that your experience was unsatisfactory, please accept our sincere apologies about this. We always strive to provide excellence in every part of our tours and it is very disappointing when we don’t achieve this. Your constructive feedback helps us to know where to make improvements. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and exceed all expectations next time. Best regards,
the description sounds great, so we booked this tour, but what a disappointment: the tour started with a visit to a "marble shop" where you were invited to buy stuff...the stop on the mountains for the view was mainly a view on bunkers, but not a good point to see the coast...then came a longer break at a lake (with not much to see), where driver and guide took about an hour to eat...on the boat trip to the pagoda you were again invited to buy stuff nobody needs...the pagoda sightseeing was finished in less than ten minutes (the guide racing ahead all the time), the tour through the imperial palace took about 20 minutes, visits only to the main hall and one other building, no exploring of the huge area (it might have been even shorter if we wouldn't have stopped for taking pictures), one hour lunch, the mausoleum within 10 minutes and then back... I'm aware that it was quite warm that day and the main goal of the guide was obviously to spend as much time as possible in the car with AC my suggestion: book a private car+driver for one day and buy a good guide book instead of spending money on this tour
Firstly, thank you for taking a few minutes to write this constructive feedback about our shuttle bus service and we sincerely apologize for the unsatisfactory experience that you had. We strive very hard to ensure that the best customer service is given to all our guests and are always disappointed when expectations are not met. Rest assured that we take your complaint very seriously and have looked into why this misunderstanding occurred. We hope that you will give us another chance to provide service for you next time you are in Vietnam. Thank you and kind regards,
The tour guide was only polite but failed to present the day tour from Hoi An to Hue in greater details with history and stories, which he committed at the beginning. Instead he left us unattended at most of the sites including the marble carving stores (wasted some time there), while rushing the tours in the palace, pagoda and the imperial tomb. Part of the reasons perhaps was due to his English presentation skills. Nothing much heard but only “ladies and gentlemen”. However we were grateful as he took our advice to stop over at Dam Lap An for a quick visit after we made our request.
