Our guide Oanh was very knowledgable and funny. The tour was entertaining and very educational. Despite the blistering weather it was a good experience and a must do when you come to Da Nang.

Had an amazing day tour to Hue exploring Vietnam's historical heritage! This was by far the best handled guided tour I've taken. Our guide, Tâm, messaged the pickup time in advance and met me right at the hotel entrance. We took the tunnel instead of the Hai Van Pass, but Tâm gave us a great history overview along the way, including a nice coffee break at a lagoon. The Highlights: Khai Dinh Tomb: Incredibly beautiful and unique architecture. Lunch: A wonderful group meal at a lovely hotel. Tâm perfectly handled my dietary restrictions. Thien Mu Pagoda: Stunning views and even better architecture. The Imperial Citadel: Amazing!! I’ve never seen such a beautifully restored palace. It was worth every bit of the heat. Quick Tip: The 2.5-hour drive is very comfortable and great for a nap. Definitely bring a hat and stay hydrated, as walking around the sites gets really hot. Overall, an incredible experience!

Was good to be able to sleep comfortably through the trip. The snacks were alright. But the coffee cups were dirty, one cup still had old water at the bottom. And although they provided coffee sachets, there was no hot water. In the morning someone came round selling hot coffee, which was a tiny paper cup with instant coffee for 50,000vnd.

It was a pleasant day. We were able to visit the history of the Hue Imperial City. The tour guide was very professional and provided detailed explanations. Lunch was provided for the group, and the menu was very diverse. It's just a shame the weather was so hot.
