Most interesting tour of Hue with guide Tony!

Olivia_M, May 2025

The tour included the best highlights of Hue. The King tombs, the citadel and the pagoda. All were stunningly beautiful. Our guide Tony knew all about the sites and was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Big recommendation!

Lovely and unique experience, highly recommended

Hoa, our tour guide, and Mr Thanh, our driver, were at the pick-up point (our hotel) before time and we set off almost right away. Overall it was a great tour: Hoa spoke excellent English, was very knowledgable, and a trained photographer to boot! He took plenty of excellent photos of us and the monuments on my mother’s phone everywhere we went, which made our trip that much better. The lunch at the restaurant was local and delicious and they were very particular about serving my parents vegetarian versions of everything.

Great visit with Hoang

Hoang was a fantastic tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable. The sites and temples were beautiful. The lunch of multiple Vietnamese dishes was delicious. Hoang was so helpful in sharing suggestions for other activities around Vietnam.

Excellent guide and driver

Olivia_A, Aug 2025

It has been a very enriching and great day in the beautiful city of Hue. Thanks especially to our guide Trình and driver Hao. The route has been perfect, well thought out and measured. Trình has taught us to pronounce well ;), he has told us history, customs, explanations that we were asking him, with much enthusiasm and generosity. They have both treated us great and we are very grateful to them.
