Traveler Reviews
Oanh was a great tour guide, good English and full of knowledge. The tour was designed at a good pace, time to learn, take photos and rest in the car between sites. The place we stopped to eat was a beautiful building and had delicious, plentiful food.
Oahn is a nice guide and she did a great job. If you wanna visit Hue form Da Nang (one day) - for great value and less money - this tour is perfect for you.
Perfect, everything was great. The guide was very friendly and explained everything very well.
I joined the Hue Imperial City Full-Day Tour, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. The itinerary was very well planned. We visited the Imperial City, the royal tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty, Thien Mu Pagoda, and several other fascinating places. Our guide didn’t just show us the sights - he shared engaging stories about the history, culture, and traditions, making every stop come alive. The lunch included in the tour was delicious and was a nice addition to an already wonderful day. A huge thank you to our guide for his professionalism, fascinating explanations, positive attitude, and ge
Highly recommended. We had an amazing day and learned so much about Vietnamese history from our guide and the relevance of each of the sites we visited. The tombs and imperial city visits were all fascinating places that were made more memorable and interesting by our guide. A truly awe inspiring day.
the guide Ben was so helpful along the way, and gave very informative commentary at all the sites as well as useful tips. The day was extremely hot but our comfort was considered as best as possible. The lunch was of very high quality banquet style, but served to our table.
The trip was very interesting with explanations for everything we saw. Ray was absolutely amazing, being able to provide answers to all of our questions and leading us through all the best spots. Would highly recommend.
Thanh (John) was a brilliant guide. Particular highlights were the recent history of Vietnam, the Imperial City, the lunch, and the temples. It's a long day but really enjoyed it and the transport was comfortable.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and shared so many stories about Hue and the Imperial City. Him and the driver were kind, attentive to every detail, and were happy to answer all our questions on the tour. The transportation was clean and they made sure we had cold water and strong AC which was appreciated in the super hot weather. Overall great experience and good value for the money as you get a full day experience. Thanks again to our tour guide and driver!
guide was excellent. mini bus too small for big Europeans
The guided tour to Hue Imperial city had many amazing sights to see which I would definitely recommend visiting if you’re in the area. The tour started early and took most of the day because of the many sights. Schedule was tight but our guide Jeni gave us time to see the places for our selves and helped with taking pictures. She also gave good information on the history and meaning of many places and answered our touristy questions 😂 Great experience in the Da Nang area.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour. The coach ride to Hue was enjoyable, it gave us an opportunity to see some of Vietnam's magnificent countryside. Before we arrived at The Imperial Palace we had a magnificent lunch. Our guide Tam was very informative answering all the questions that I asked. I was fortunate enough to be travelling with a really friendly group of people from many parts of the world. Let's not forget about our most wonderful driver who got us there and back safely!! Thank you so much. A day that I will always remember. Anthony from Australia 🦘 🙏
