I've been to Hue before, but I only saw a little bit of the Royal Palace, so I was glad to be able to see it properly with a guide this time. The lunch was also very filling for a tour meal, and I was very satisfied. However, the number of participants seemed to be at the maximum for the vehicle this time, so the inside of the vehicle seemed a bit cramped, which was a negative point.

The guide is in English, but it's not hard to understand. They stop by a couple of shops, but they don't really recommend buying anything. If you're interested in history, it's worth participating.

A Hue City tour explores the historical and cultural highlights of Hue, Vietnam, once the imperial capital. Key attractions include the Imperial Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, and various royal tombs like Khai Dinh's and Minh Mang's. It was very interesting to learn about the history of Vietnam. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed the tour! It was both educational and entertaining — a wonderful experience overall.

Thank you Thanh for all your patience. He is really a professional tour guide and he knows what he is saying and doing. I love how he shows a true Vietnamese gentleman. The trip to Hue was a core memory especially the Imperial City (which was the bulk of the tour). Thank you for a sumptuous lunch I really liked the Jackfruit Salad. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to have a quick but meaningful stay in Hue.
