We especially liked the traditional Vietnamese lunch with it all explained by our wonderful and caring guide Mr Chuong. The weather was very hot, that cannot be controlled. Our driver Mr Hai was an excellent driver in the somewhat chaotic traffic.
Thank you so much for your kindness and lovely review. This is a great gift from you to our hard working team. Chương is one of our excellent tour guides in Vietnam. We wish you all the best.
Hue is an amazing, beautiful city full of history. Our guide Nhien and driver Phuoc were a fantastic team ferrying us around the city to explore the significant landmarks. It was a truly memorable experience and well worth the effort. And the lunch provided at a local restaurant was amazing. Highly recommend this as a side trip out of Hoi An or Da Nang.
A great private tour with a curated itinerary of the key historical sights of Hue. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience so memorable. The driver was friendly and professional transporting us to and from Hoi An and between various landmarks. The lunch provided at a local restaurant was superb! Would highly recommend this as a day trip out of Hoi An to explore something new.
Mr. Duc was punctual and accommodating. He gave us minimal information at each stop, but just enough for us to understand and enjoy. Ms. Fi was informative and allowed us time to explore at our pace. She also offered to take photos for us. Lunch was amazing and provided a variety of tastes. I would highly recommend Ms. Fi for any tour!
This experience was the highlight of my stay in Central Vietnam! Both the driver, Mr. Hoa, and guide, Phi, were incredible and had so much knowledge to share. I also very much appreciated how personable and accommodating they were given the heat level, rearranging the order of activities, and also providing water and an umbrella to ensure I was well taken care of. Can’t forget to mention that the included lunch was delicious - I was able to try several dishes, all amazing. This is a tour I will recommend to anyone visiting in the future. I’m excited to return to Hue again and continue learning more about the history and culture of Vietnam.
The city of Hue is amazing, and even though we only got a small taste of it, Ms. Van made such an impression on us that we’re already convinced Hue will be the centerpiece of our next trip to Vietnam. As others have mentioned, this is a LONG day whether you’re departing from Da Nang or Hoi An — but it is absolutely worth it if you have the time. Our trip from Hoi An started at 7:30 a.m. and we returned just before 6:00 p.m., made possible in large part by the fantastic driving skills of Mr. Hao. Driving in Vietnam is truly something to behold and definitely not for the faint of heart, but with Hao behind the wheel we felt completely safe the entire time. He also made the journey genuinely enjoyable with his warm personality and great company. Ms. Van was simply incredible — the perfect blend of knowledge, intelligence, and kindness. Through her storytelling and deep understanding of the history of Vietnam, Hue, and the royal family, she gave us a far richer appreciation not only of the places we visited, but also of the people and culture. Thank you both for an unforgettable day!
Morning, Mac. So wonderful to hear that we are one of the parts to make your trip worth it like this. Thanks for your nice words, our team has more motivation to continue to accompany the next customers and share interesting stories about our lovely country. 🤍
Long day but worth it. The Citadel and Forbidden City were beautiful. Our guide, Ms. Vân, was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful lunch proper to returning to Hoi An. Would defined recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, and we wish you a great time in Vietnam. All the best to you and your family.
Hue the ancient capital is a must to understand the history of the country as explained by an excellent guide Lam
Thanks so much, we are so happy to hear you are satisfied with Ms. Lam. 🤍
This is a long day but well worth it A long drive to Hue but some very scenic roads and had a couple of stops for photos and refreshments. The driver,Mr Hoang was very accommodating and thoughtful. He made the journey seem shorter, and we felt very safe with his standard of driving. Excellent. Once in Hue, we picked up our guide, Ms Trinh - Lotus She is an amazing guide and very professional and friendly and personable. She was very knowledgeable and made the day special. Dragon boat ride and lovely food. A very special day
Our guide Tony has made this experience very nice: knowledgable, kind, patient and enthusiastic, he walked us through the highlights of Hue. We would not have understood half of what we saw without him
