Traveler Reviews
The various sites and relics were very impressive. It is wonderful that Vietnam takes such pride in their history to make these available. The guide, Austin, seemed to be very knowledgeable about the history and made things interesting. There is a lot of walking and climbing up and down fairly steep stairs, so perhaps don't book too close to another day with that same need. And we were a little thrown off when we learned that the price of the tour we selected didn't include the admission tickets. In the "what is included" it said they were, but in the title it said they weren't. We weren't the
Austin was a good guide with a sense of humour. The sights visited were fine but market stop seemed a bit pointless. Also perfume and gat making village was only an opportunity for stallholders to sell at very Inflated prices. Up to you but I wouldn't buy there.
Great trip! Yang was really friendly and informative of any questions that I had.
Our guide Hoang was great. His knowledge and explanations of the citadel, kings and Vietnamese history was impressive. His English is excellent and he struck a good balance between guiding the tour group and allowing us time to explore. The communication around pickup time could have been improved, though we did book the tour at a late hour on the previous day. Lunch was one of the best meals we have had in Vietnam, and over all the tour efficiently covered the key things we wanted to see near Hue. The boat ride and incense village could be skipped but didn’t overly detract from the day either
The guide was very good. The trip was very interesting and fun. we enjoyed it very much.
This is a great tour…..you see all the things that Hue has to offer. Lunch was fantastic and was the best meal I have had in Vietnam so far. It is a long day though so be prepared.
Excellent Guide and Safe Driver. Long day but worth it
Long is an excellent guide. The group size ~ 7 people was perfect. The lunch restaurant chosen was ideal with a bonus foot soak afterwards. I do recommend bringing some water because it can be very hot and we expecantivpated being offered more bottled water.
Beautiful day in Hue, nice tour, very good guide, Thank you
Very informative and got to see all the main attractions in one day
We had a great day seeing all the sights in Hue. Sen was very knowledgeable guide and she made the tour really fun and interesting. We loved the boat on the perfume river and lunch at Madam Thu’s with a foot Bath was a real treat.
The trip was great! It was a diverse and fully packed day. Our guide was very informative and the lunch was delicious, accommodating my special diet. I learned a lot and would highly recommend..
