Hue, a view of the life of the Imperial Dynasty of Vietnam

Diane_B, Feb 2024

Ben, our guide, found us at the DaNang port and loaded us into a comfortable van and off we went to Hue. He did an excellent job of guiding us through the Citidel, explaining the history of the place and the customs and organization of the buildings relating to the lives of the royal family that lived there. He was sensitive to our level of energy and interest and was enthusiastic and informative. We had a grand time. Ben brought us to a lovely local restaurant for our lunch and helped order food that gave us the local experience. After lunch, we did a ride on the Perfume River in a Dragon boat in order to visit the Thien Mu Pagoda and we viewed the temple dedicated to one of the 14 kings that were in place prior to Ho Chi Min bringing an end to the Imperial Dynasty of Vietnam. This was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend it.

Local history at its best

John_N, Feb 2024

Our guide, Mike, contacted us the day before regarding pick up arrangements. Unfortunately this did not go very well, in that we were instructed to meet at the port gates and he was waiting at a second set of gates! As it was pouring with rain this was not a good start. The trip proceeded and we undertook the tour as advertised. Mike's information on the royal family's history was second to none and it proved to be very informative throughout the tour. Mike also took us to a local Vietnamese cafe for lunch which was excellent. All in all, despite the poor start and been a very wet day, I still rate this as a very good and positive experience.

Great trip but more attention to detail and food options.

Positives - Great sites all in one day- imperial city, Pagoda, emperors tomb, perfume river - Transportation was clean comfortable and professional - easily moved from site to site, good logistic plans - guide was young but knowledgeable and eager - Good value compared to similar tours Negatives - Had to walk to the very far gate of port to meet guides, this is due to high entrance fees charged by port . It takes 5-10mins. The cost saved here is reflected in the tour price. - Food options provided where very tourist/western cuisine despite us preferring and asking for a local Vietnamese restaurant. The guide apologised after but we missed the chance to eat locally. - guide could do with a few more years experience. - Perfume river is nothing special or ‘perfume’
