Book direct with BNT … it is always personalized
We had an amazing experience with Tam @ BNT travel. She advised us perfectly on our Hue day and booked us Mr.Ty as our guide. He was fantastic, finding the right balance between adults with kids sightseeing. His knowledge and the way he presented it on our tour in and around Hue was absolutely top. As well to mention the driver Mr Quang - who we later booked through Tam as well the next day to bring us from Hue to HoiAn. Tam advised me personally perfectly even before coming to Vietnam and gave me lots of ideas. Fantastic client service!

Excellent HUE guide
Sang was a wonderful guide filled with passion and enthusiasm about his native region Hue. He gave us excellent speeches and explanations about every site we visited. Emperor Citadel, Padoges and Thombs… we had typical regional delights in a restaurant he chose. We appreciated his knowledge and enthusiasm as well as his warmth and kindness.
We wish him all the best in his career as he does it with love and passion which make him an excellent knowledgeable guide. We fully recommend him to all travellers.

Go with BNT
We used BNT Travel on multiple occasions during our travel in July, including transfer from Dong Hoi to Hue, a day tour in Hue, transfer from Hue to Da Nang, and a day trip to My Son Sanctuary and Hoi An. Ms Nhan was super helpful and responsive with helping us tailor our itinerary and the drivers were great - reliable and safe drivers. On our day tour in Hue our guide's name was Sang. I would recommend BNT.

Surprised and awe by HOI AN, HUE was overrated.
We found BNT from tripadvisor guest comments.
I made an enquiry which was instantly followed up until I arrived Danang airport and through out our journey BNT provided non stop travel info, restaurant suggestion etc. the staff at BNT is eager to please.
BNT's private car picked us at Danang Airport and send us to Hoi An riverside hotel. We were driven by a very good driver who happened to be the owner of the car company / partner of BNT !
From Airport to Hoi An, The scenic seaside highway from Danang, and paddy fields dotted the land as we approach Hoi An ancient town.
We requested BNT to organize our Bana Hills and city tour. The following day, we were driven to HUE via HaiVan pass and we passed by Lagoons and seen lot of fishing villages en route.
throughout our travels with BNT, we felt safe and confident with very good and responsible driver.
Overall, excellent service and our next trip to Hoi An, we will use BNT again.

John - A friendly, skillful and safe driver
We had a wonderful day trip from Hoi An to Hue with several sightseeing on the way. John was our driver. He is a reliable, professional, patience, skillful and safe driver. John told us so much about places we passed through and helped us to take a few beautiful photos.

Hue by boat and car
A great tour with Trinh through Hue. First we went by dragon boat along the Perfume River. I visited the imperial citadel and tomb meal of the second Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty Emperor Minh Mang. Finally, I was able to taste various specialties from Hue.
