Lang Co Bay and Hue City Tour was wonderful! The bay is peaceful and scenic, perfect for photos. Hue City is rich in history with beautiful temples and the Imperial Citadel. The guide was friendly and informative — a great day trip with stunning views and cultural experiences!

Everything was nicely planned just that the weather was not on our side. The tour guide would help us to take photo. Lunch was good and had a fun time making dessert while doing herbal foot soak. Group size was nice and they prepared 2 bottles of water for us throughout the trip.

It would have been perfect if it weren't for the rain. The guide has a really funny Korean spin on things, haha. Definitely try it if you get the chance, but on a clear day rather than a rainy one.

Loved this class with Uyen(Duck). As it was raining, I was the only one at that moment. So I got personal instructions, learning and attention. Thanks to this class, my love for coffee has deepend even further. Kudos to the instructor for making it an unforgettable experience for me❤️

The tour guide was very attentive, repeatedly confirming the pickup time the day before. On the day of the tour, they even let you know when they were arriving soon or would wait for ten minutes, which made it easy to manage your time. During the trip, it was a small group combined with Vietnamese tourists, which was unique because I thought they would understand the historical background or could just read the text descriptions. However, the tour guide was very skilled at continuously switching between Vietnamese and English, although sometimes some of the sounds were hard to understand. But they would use very simple words to explain, which allowed you to infer what they were saying. The whole itinerary revolved around the Imperial City and temples, and each time there was 15 to 30 minutes of free time. I think it would be perfect if you signed up with friends and wore Ao Dai or royal clothing, because the scenery is stunning, and there aren't too many people, so you can take beautiful photos of each other, except that it might be really hot and you might sweat a lot XD.

What a beautiful train ride! The trip from Hue to Da Nang was so relaxing with incredible coastal and mountain views — especially the stretch over the Hai Van Pass. The seats were comfortable, and it was an easy way to travel between the two cities while enjoying the scenery. Highly recommend sitting on the left side for the best views!

The bus was comfortable and clean, and our tour guide was very informative and friendly. However, you’re joining a big group tour, be prepared that not everyone may be considerate. I joined a large group with guests from different nationalities, and many talked loudly—even while the guide was explaining important historical details. Despite having designated free time to explore, some guests returned late, often 10–20 minutes past the agreed time, leaving the rest of us waiting on the bus. I hope the tour company can strictly remind guests to keep their voices at a moderate volume, especially during long bus rides that last over two hours. It would be nice to have a bit of peace to rest or sleep. And to fellow tourists, please be mindful of time and practice basic courtesy.
