    Ok tour, but description...

    tracy_d, Mar 2026
    Ok tour, but description failed to mention the hundreds of stairs and over 3 miles of walking. Guide was so far ahead of people at the back of the bus or slower folks it was easy to get lost or left behind.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

Your comment is very valuable, and we will review and update our program details to ensure better transparency for future guests. We also regret that the pace of the tour and guidance may not have been suitable for everyone. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We will work closely with our guides to ensure they maintain better group coordination and support all guests, especially those who may need a slower pace. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to have another opportunity to serve you better in the future.

    Hue Full Day Tour

    Emilio_M, Jan 2026
    Outstanding value. A wonderful experience with a very good, plentiful lunch at a very scenic restaurant. Our guide, Vi, was nice and knowledgeable. We received an included special pick up and drop off at the port to the us to the van with a total of 12 tourists for the tour. An overall excellent, outstanding value.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Hue Full Day Tour, the scenic lunch, and our knowledgeable guide. It’s great to know the pickup and drop-off service met your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in Vietnam soon!

    Good sites but non English speaking Tour Guide

    Karen_W, Sep 2025
    Sites were good but I could hardly hear what the tour guide was saying and when I did, I could hardly understand what she was saying. (The majority of people on the tour were Asian). I spoke to the tour guide Vi about it and she said she would speak slower. This lasted for about 90 minutes. I ended up having to read about the sites that we attended in order to find out about them. I would recommend going to these sites, just not with this company. I might as well have done this tour alone as I was not getting any information from the tour guide. Half the time, I wasn’t sure what language she was speaking in.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced during the tour, especially with understanding the guide. We completely understand how important clear communication is to enjoy and learn from the sites visited. We have already spoken with our guide Vi and will provide further training to ensure slower, clearer communication and better engagement with all guests. In addition, we are considering additional tools to help improve the audio experience during tours. Your feedback is very valuable and helps us improve our service. While we are happy you enjoyed the sites, we sincerely regret that your experience with us did not meet expectations. We hope you will give us another chance in the future to show you a much better experience.

    The tour organizers were...

    Ksenia_C, Jan 2025
    The tour organizers were very professional. We got contacted the day before about pick up time and everything else went smoothly. The guide, Loan, was lovely—friendly but not overwhelming. Lunch was delicious and the restaurant quite beautiful. Highly recommend! (One minor note is that we were the first to be picked up and the pick up of all other guests took about an hour. There is nothing one can do about this but probably just good to keep in mind to be mentally prepared).

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Thank you for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so pleased to hear that you found our organization professional and enjoyed Loan’s friendly guidance. It’s great to know that you appreciated the lunch and the beautiful restaurant setting. We also value your feedback about the pick-up process. While we aim to make the journey as smooth as possible, we understand that being the first pick-up can extend the time on the bus. Your note is a great reminder for us to communicate this more clearly to future guests. Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another tour soon!

    Very good tour

    Jonathan_D, Dec 2024
    Even the weather wasn't great, even our group was big and diverse so the guide Lane declared everything twice in English + Vietnamese (we booked eglish speaking tour!), but she was so knowledgeable and kind than couldn't put lower score than 5

    Response from Host, Dec 2024

    Kien_T, Aug 2024
    This was a great tour! The whole family had fun. Our tour guide Loan (Pea) was an amazing guide. She knew her stuff and was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

    We really appreciate using our service. See you next time

    Great day out with energetic tour guide

    Garrett_L, Apr 2024
    Great day out with Loan, it was super hot out so I would not do this activity again, but still would recommend to friends. Appreciated the whatsapp message the night before with a more accurate pickup time for the tour. The pearl sales pitch/bathroom stop wasn't too necessary but most viator tours have these stops and the operators get some sort of kickback so I guess they have to make money too. we were given plenty of time to take pictures and/or explore on own and Loan was happy to take some pix of us as well. For the citadel tour, I appreciated that she recommended everyone follow her on the tour as I wasn't about to self explore with the large size of the city. I think it was just enough walking - any more would have been too tiring in the heat.
