Traveler Reviews
the tour guided by Tom provided plenty of interesting information about the history. Really enjoyed the tour and the historical significance to the vietnamese people. The drive on the van was just right since it was more private compared to being on a huge tour bus.
Naszym przewdonimiem był Quoc. Kompetentny człowiek we właściwym miejscu, opowiqdał o wszystkich atrakcjach z pasją, jego wiedzą jest na prawdę ogromna, za każdym razem doglądał czy wszyscy dobrze się czują i dbał o nas jak o własną rodzinę. Z czystym sercem polecam tę wycieczkę, a jesli Quoc trafi się jako przewdonik macie szczęście.
We had a very enjoyable experience. Our tour guide, Van, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. She conducted the tour fluently back and forth between English and Vietnamese. The pace was good for our two kids (teen and preteen).
Our experience was great! Phuc (Harry Potter) was not only very knowledgeable, but also very funny. My husband and I had a great time and learned lots. I was a little hesitant about the long time that we would spend in this tour, but time flies and the organization was great. The food was really good, and the team always provided us with cold waters to help with the heat. Definitely recommend this day trip. Five thousand stars!
Tim was great and very knowledgeable. The tour is great to learn more about the history of Vietnam during the time when kings were ruling.
Tom was a great guide and gave us just the right amount of information and guidance.
Great tour, was very enjoyable. Our tour guide was great, kept us informed on where the next stop was and how long the journey would be. Very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions, we had a great guide in Mian. Would recommend.
It was a very good organized and interesting Tour. Our guide Thong was very nice and helpful, explained in a good English the history and background information of the empire. The lunch was good organized and we enjoyed very much the stunning view of the Pass. Thomas & Marion
We had a wonderful experience on our tour despite the rain! Van was a fantastic guide - she is very informative, communicative and entertaining. Even though one of the roads was closed due to heavy rains and traffic issues, an alternate route was taken and our driver transported us around safely. We enjoyed seeing the Citadel and learning about the history of Hue. Our group of 8 had a lovely time and were very well fed at lunch!
the tour guide Van was fantastic, full of energy, humor and knowledge. I enjoyed the day full of sightseeing 👍
This day tour from Da Nang to Hue was an excellent experience. The Imperial City and the Royal Tomb were the most memorable highlights, offering a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam’s Imperial history. Our tour guide Candy was very knowledgeable and friendly, making the journey engaging and informative. Everything was well-organized. The ride was comfortable, timely, and safe. They also picked us up and dropped us off at our accommodations. I was the first to be picked up at 7:30am, the tour finished at about 3/3:30pm, and I was the last to be dropped off back at my accommodation in Da Nang at a
Great experience - learning a bit more about the country. Our tour guide Tom was doing a wonderful job - caring and helping with pictures and providing plenty of information on Vietnam‘s history. Thank you!
