Traveler Reviews
i booked a transportation from hoi an to the train Station in da nang and back. worked out very well! Our guide Harry was very nice! he explained so much and cared for our comfort, because it was really hot in july. i really had fun and the train was very nice. you can buy food and there is a music performance too. Was lucky to get a window seat! the lunch is also very good. can really recommend it.
If you’re staying in Hoi An and don’t want to miss seeing the Imperial city, I HIGHLY recommend this day trip! The van transport was really nice and our guide, Cong, was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of Hue and the different dynasties/emperors! Lunch was amazing at a local restaurant, where we were able to try little bits of traditional Vietnamese dishes! Overall, a really great day trip to Hue!!
The trip was fun. It covered all the places in the program. What made the trip so memorable was Thanh, our tour guide. She’s the most lovely tour guide who speaks English really well. Our driver did a good job being on time and driving us around. Recommended!!
Sky is an excellent guide, so kind and patient. He was also giving us important information throughout the tour. I totally recommend him and his company.
Very beautiful and interesting activiy ! Harry, our guide was so cool and nice, always ready to help and explain about his country ! I recommend !! Thank you Harry !!!
Fabulous experience, in particular the Heritage train. would highly recommend to those visiting Vietnam 🇻🇳 🥰
La beauté de l'excursion, et la qualité du guide et ses connaissances. Beaucoup d'attention, d'humour et de sérénité.
Escursione da fare! Le spiegazioni della guida Hieu ci hanno permesso di comprendere meglio la storia e le particolarità degli edifici e delle architetture visitate. Una gita da non perdere e che consiglio vivamente. forse la parte meno interessante è il viaggio in treno, ma fa parte dell'esperienza diversa che rende la giornata unica. Aggiungo che sono stati anche molto carini da organizzare loro un transfer per noi da e per Hoi an restando in contatto per ritrovarci correttamente alla stazione
Tout était très bien. La guide Coco est hyper attentive et très gentille et donne des bonnes explications. A conseiller fortement. Merci.
Notre guide Harry était attentionné et n'hésitait pas à donner des explications supplémentaires. Une mention spéciale pour le chauffeur d'autobus.
Thao est une excellente guide, elle est attentionnée enver le groupe, elle explique très bien tout lors de la visite. Cependant, tout parait un peu pressé et contre la montre (sauf les moments de visite solo, elle nous laisse assez de temps) Les 2 premiers arrets me paraissent de trop: la vue n'est plus particulièrement appreciable vu les travaux en cours sur la côte, et l'arrêt "pipi" sur le bord de mer avec les ostréiculteurs me paraît un peu longue. Squeezer ces 2 arrêts laisserait plus de temps sur Hue, ou alors un autre arrêt peut etre ajouté sur d'autres pagodes ou tombeaux de rois Le tr
The trip was a mission, but not impossible:) From 4 Points Sheraton in Da Nang it took about 2.5 hours to drive to Hue with a couple stops along the way and another 2.5 hours to get back after the tour was over. That’s a lot of driving but thankfully the van had comfortable seating with reclining seats…and the views along the way were pretty nice. Our host Mr. Tuan was helpful and informative and the stops at the emperors tomb, forbidden city, and pagoda tower provided some great picture taking opportunities.
