Linh was a great guide. His English is excellent. The tour was highly informative and connected pieces of history and culture together in a very entertaining and engaging way. Don't hesitate to book this tour.
Linh was a fantastic tour guide and I really enjoyed the imperial city tour today. I felt like he covered a variety of topics and the time seemed to fly by. Would definitely recommend doing this tour if you're visiting Hue.
Excellent tour of the Citadel. Linh was a fantastic tour guide. Really knowledgeable about the area and its history. Was really great with the family too.
Linh our guide was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and funny! He also took great care to stop in the shade while he educated us at each stop through the imperial city. We were in a small group of 6 only which made it a very personalised experience. His English was also fantastic! Amazing tour it is a must!
You’re steeped in history. Linh was flawlessly able to hold the audience while also being able to connect with each of us on the tour. A true Vietnamese gentleman
During our stay in Hue, we took a guided tour of the Imperial City and had the best guide one could wish for, Linh! He provided us with many exciting facts about the history of Vietnam and showed us the most important points on the vast grounds. He always included the entire group and entertained us with a lot of humor for two wonderful hours. Afterward, one could explore the Imperial City on their own; as mentioned, the area is huge. We had a great afternoon and a very good and educational time.
Linh Nguyen was a great guide explaining everything in a very engaging way! The tour was great and we learnt a lot! I highly recommend!
This was our second visit to the Imperial Citadel and having a guide makes a huge difference. We were in a small group of 6 for this tip-based tour and our guide Linh was outstanding - one of the best guides we’ve had in Vietnam. We had an excellent couple of hours with Linh as he walked us through the key sites of this enormous complex, delivering a succinct, witty and informative history of Vietnam’s Royal dynasties and the Imperial City. A nice combination of background, history and free time to explore different parts of the large complex. Highly recommended.
We had a great tour with our guide Linh. Meeting up was easy. The tour was relaxed friendly and informative. Plenty of shady stops along the way. Thoroughly recommend this tour of the Imperial City.
Linh was a great guide- really interesting and full of history and stories. Easy to understand, and extremely caring in managing the heat and the occasional busy spots.
