How knowledgeable the guide was. Think I would choose a different restaurant for lunch
Such a great tour. Our guide Thành was super knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the history of Hue and the Vietnamese dynasties.
The communication was perfect, I was contacted on Whats app in advance, I knew exactly what time I would be picked up from the hotel, John and the driver were great. John had a short history lesson prepared for us, so we could understand how things were in the past, he had answers to all our questions, he was attentive. In short, the tour was perfect. Thanks again to John and the driver.

N’guyen guy tour guide, is a really open and educated person!
Exceptional Day! Booking this full-day tour from Hoi An was the best decision of our trip, entirely thanks to our incredible guide, Cong. From start to finish, his passion for Vietnam's history was contagious. He is deeply informative and shared fascinating stories that truly brought the massive Hue Imperial City to life. The itinerary was flawless, with absolutely nothing to dislike. We loved exploring the grand palace grounds in the morning and later transitioning to the stunning Khai Dinh Tomb, which was breathtakingly unique. The included lunch was another unexpected highlight—completely e
It was an amazing experience!! we truly recommend it. Coco was our guide for this tour, she does an incredible Job.
Coco was amazing! Great tour, great company and very sweet. She explained the story and curiosities of each place we visited and gave us enough time to wander and take photos. Food at the restaurant was very good too.
Had a great trip to Hue Imperial City today. CocCo was our tour guide. She was very informative and fun, with good knowledge on Vietnamese history and has excellent English. Trip stopped at many different cultural sites and scenic view points which made for a really packed day. Even had time for a foot bath & lunch at a local Hue restaurant. The food was very good. A great day, we would recommend, thanks CoCo!! Matt & Julie
