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.

I booked the Combo 4-Site Pass in Hue through Klook and it was a convenient and cost-effective way to explore the city’s top historical spots. The combo included entrance to the Imperial City, Minh Mang Tomb, Khai Dinh Tomb, and Tu Duc Tomb. All sites were beautifully preserved and gave a deep insight into Vietnam’s imperial history. The digital voucher was easy to redeem at each site—just show the QR code at the ticket counter. No hassle at all. I especially appreciated how Klook bundled these major attractions together, saving time and money compared to buying separate tickets. Highly recommended for travelers who want to cover Hue’s key landmarks in a day.

loved everything about the tour. it was a private tour with our guide Serene. She was very nice and knowledgable. We really enjoyed engaging with her and we learned a lot about the history of Hue and Vietnam. We highly recommend the tour!

The sound of the Central Region is really nice. Although their service is not very good, I still experienced taking a boat in the Central Region and listening to the Central Region singing on the Xiangjiang River.

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.

Every time I take the train across Hue, I look at the peak of Bach Ma mountain peeking out from the clouds and always hope to have a chance to visit here and finally I had the chance. The tour was quite easy, the day I went I had a fever and took sleeping pills and felt lethargic on the bus but when I got there I saw the beautiful scenery and forgot I was sick. Dang was an enthusiastic guide, always smiling and helping when people needed it. The lunch was hot and home-cooked. Because I went with a group, I didn't have a chance to go down to the foot of the waterfall, next time I have a chance I will come back and experience the way down to the waterfall. Everyone should visit Bach Ma and feel the scenery outside which is difficult to fully capture in pictures.
