Traveler Reviews
I enjoyed my day trip to Hue. My tour guide Van was very helpful, kind, considerate and was very informative about many things on the trip. The train ride had beautiful coastal views even in the rain. The Imperial sites were very beautiful and overall I had a wonderful trip. Thanks Van and driver.
NGUYEN thao Van was a brilliant, lively and very organised guide. The pace was good and she was aware of that needs of the group .highly recommend. The train heritage experience was a special surprise
Had so much fun today with Van on our Hue Imperial Day tour. The train was the highlight, as well as the kings tomb, Amazing, 100% recommend. Lunch was also very good, a lunch buffet at a local restaurant. A great amount of food choices, they catered well to everyone's dietary requirements. Our driver Chuck also looked after us very well, driving safely and keeping us cool.
This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. It was perfectly managed from start to finish, extremely interesting and diverse without being rushed or hectic. The train ride alone is beautiful and special. Hue and the sites visited are gorgeous and fascinating. Moreover, our guide Van managed the whole tour beautifully and is very knowledgeable, witty and thoughtful; a true professional. Strongly recommend.
Our guide Van was the best. Historical knowledge, coordinated the group well and even fanned us in the heat! It’s hot!
We had a fantastic tour with Thinh (Tim). He had so much knowledge to share, communicated clearly, which made our experience that much more captivating. I can highly recommend Tim as a guide to Hue Imperial city.
The trip was absolutely amazing! We enjoyed every minute of it. It is an early start, but you get to see so many things that it is so worth it! Special thanks to our guide Thinh, who is incredibly knowledgeable, he answered all of our questions (there were a lot!) and helped us understand more of the history of Vietnam. We learned many details about culture and customs of Hue imperial city, and enjoyed the stunning scenery on the way there!
Really enjoyed our day trip to Hue with our guide Tim! We had enough time to see everything and Tim shared so much information about Hue. Really lovely lunch too!
The journey during this tour was very interesting and amazing. The energy and knowledge of Van our guide was very appreciated. She shared a lot with us about the history of the places visited. The tour is very early on morning but worth it. The view and the vibe during the train journey was beautiful. I recommend Van as a guide
We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Hue, but what really made the experience exceptional was our guide, Van. From the moment we met her, Van was warm, welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing her country, its history and culture with us. Her knowledge was incredible, but more importantly, she had a real talent for bringing the history to life. Rather than simply reciting facts and dates, she told the stories behind the places we visited in a way that was engaging, interesting and easy to follow. We came away feeling like we had learned so much about Vietnam. The train journe
Overall, it was great experience. It started with them picking up for train. briefed everything and they were present till the we got down outside our stay. we had great experience seeing different places. and the lunch was great too.
We loved everything in the program, the train ride via the Hai Van pass, the walk through the Hue imperial citadel, tasty lunch break as well as the visit of the pagoda and kings tomb. Moreover, we liked the small tour as well as our tour bus. Last but not least our tour guide Sky, who has been very nice and knowledgeable.
