Full day Hue tour with driver and guide
Booking a full-day tour was one of the best decisions of our time in Hue. The driver was great and picked us up and dropped us off right at each site. We didn’t have to wander in the heat trying to get to places. It made the day feel easy and we were able to see more without getting worn out. The car was very comfortable with strong AC and water.
We added a guide for an extra $45 and I’m really glad we did. Austin was excellent. He really listened to our needs and wants and adjusted the timing at each site based on our energy and interest. My daughter is a big coffee fan and he made sure she could get drinks along the way. He shared the history and culture of the places we saw and helped us understand what we were seeing. Each stop felt worthwhile and not rushed. Austin was very engaging, flexible and knowledgeable.
The tour was definitely worth the money, especially with the guide. If you take this tour I highly recommend Austin.
One thing to know is that the combo ticket for the sites is not included.

Ideal for a day in the city
We stayed only one day in Hue and this tour is ideal for this type of case. We chose the sites we wanted to visit and the Hue Tours and Transfers team planned the stops in the most optimal way. Ly, our driver, was very punctual and attentive. It was a very hot day and he worried that we were okay, giving us cold water repeatedly. He also took us to a very nice viewpoint at no extra cost and recommended places to eat

Nice historical tour in Hue
The tour is very nice to have an idea of Vietnamese history and its former
Capital Hue. Our guide Austin was very knowledgeable and friendly. He accomodated our requests that were off the tour such as coffee (excellent btw) in between the sights.

Great tour around Hue with Nam
Nam was an amazing guide - he knew so much about local history and always had a smile on his face. The van was super comfy and cool, which was perfect on a hot 37° day. The trip felt easy and not rushed. Nam even stopped so we could enjoy the view of the Perfume River and took some nice photos for us. If you want a fun and flexible tour around Hue’s tombs and pagodas, I highly recommend this one!

Professional and friendly service with Leo in Hue
Leo, our driver from a Hue-based tour company, was punctual, reliable, and very friendly. Despite the challenging traffic, he remained calm and confident throughout the trip. He spoke excellent English and shared fascinating insights about the sights and daily life in Vietnam. The company was professional and even helped us arrange travel insurance, which many others didn’t offer. We highly recommend Leo and this tour service!
