Great full day excursion in and around Hue
We did this 1 day excursion with Hue Vacations in the heat of July, our guide Dang was very good, communicated well in English and gave us a good and interesting commentary. Whether it was luck or good planning the trip was well balanced to help with the heat, it also seemed to miss the big tourist buses particularly at the 2 Kings Tombs which for us were the highlights. We were so glad we had chosen a small group tour (6 in our van) as there was at least some control over timing and photos etc. verses the big buses.
The trip ran to schedule and as per the advertised itinerary with of course hotel pick up and drop off. Generous lunch and all admission fees included. day capturing big pieces of Hue.
