Had a great tour. The cold water we got after the two major stops was really appreciated too! Linh was a great guide and tailored our touring to match our group's interests. The stops at the incense shop, the dragon boat ride on the river, the main temple and the Imperial Palace were a great mix. The refurbished children's home at the Palace was a fantastic sight and gives a clue how the Palace looked in it's heyday. If these attractions interest you, I highly recommend this tour with a great company and guide.
This was an excellent tour with Linh. She gave a detailed overview of the history of hue city. Provided cold water which was very much appreciated. Excellent tour guide who was very informed. Thank you for making the trip such a success. We’d love to come back again.
Ken is an excellent driver and guide. His English is outstanding and his visit suggestions were great. If he is your guide you will have a great time!
Tonny was our guide for our shore excursion to visit Hue City. He was an excellent guide! He was easy to communicate with prior to our excursion date. On our excursion, he was friendly, very knowledgeable of the history of the area/country, enthusiastic, and covered everything on the itinerary. We were very pleased with him and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a tour guide in Vietnam!
Tour a Hue too expensive for what is offered. The driver Long was dynamic, friendly and very friendly. We had a lot of fun with him.
Misa was great. She made us feel comfortable right away and was willing and able to answer all our questions. She smile was contagious.
Even if the weather was poor, our driver David did an excellent job of making our trip interesting and enjoyable. He went out of his way to bring us to the best places, told us what to avoid given the weather, and explained a ton of things about Vietnam and the area along the way. Overall, it was an excellent tour and a fun adventure despite the rain.
Phuongg, our tour guide was great! She gave us great information regarding the palace complex. She was very enthusiastic and clearly knowledgeable. The only thing was the cold and the rain but that was the weather.
Today despite the pouring rain was a great experience. Our escort was super friendly and efficient with excellent suggestions of what we could do in awful weather conditions.
Excellent city with an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and patient with every aspect of the tour. Our family had a fantastic time with beautiful scenery and an even nicer guide.
