Perfect variety of sites visited during the tour, making for a satisfying and fun experience .. just the right mix .. and an awesome guide that made the day.

Fabulous Tour/Very Imformative

AARON_V, Feb 2024
We enjoyed all of it. The pagoda, citadel, the Forbidden City, the market and the tombs were amazing to see and the stories from each were facinating. Our tour guide did a great job explaining everything. He was very knowledgeable. We had lunch back in Hue at Madam Thu and the food was so tasty. I would highly recommend this tour.

Hue is not to be missed & this tour really covers it all.

Wow Hue is so amazing - my knees are killing me after all those steps, but soooo worth it! Temples, pagodas, tombs, & imperial palace. Also the dragon boat was cool- not as fancy as the one in the photo, but still beautiful.
