Our tour guide Linda was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the places of interest in Hue, as she was a native of her area, her passion and pride for these places permeated throughout the day leading the group to become fascinated. Linda was also very considerate and flexible - certain places she gave the group time to do self-exploring and answered any further questions we had about certain locations. She maintained a great vibe with the group and everyone was very friendly towards each other. Linda was also great in that she took photos for us and sent them afterwards - no need for selfie-sticks or tripods. An unforgettable day and tour; and highly recommend this tour for anyone new to Hue or wishing to learn more about this city!

We had a lot of fun on our half day tour with driver Michael. We visited 3 sites, Khai Dinh tomb, Thien Mu pagoda and Imperial City. It was great to have a driver waiting after each stop to make moving between sites easy. Michael kindly shared his local knowledge of Hue and his jokes kept us entertained throughout! Very happy to recommend.

Our driver Duc was punctual and courteous, driving my partner and I to 3 sites around Hue - Hồ Thuỷ Tiên (abandoned water park), Minh Mang tomb and Tu Duc tomb. He also made a short bonus stop for us at the insense village which was much appreciated. Pleased with our decision to book a driver for 4 hours, which made travelling between sites straightforward and hassle free.

Very interesting place to visit and to learn about the Champa kingdom and Hinduism. Ms. Dong was an incredible guide with a wealth of knowledge and very kind. We liked her so much that we booked a second tour with her the next day. Be prepared for lots and lots of rain!

October is the rainy season, so the scenery was not so good in the morning, but it was sunny after that. The schedule was flexible and we had a delicious lunch. The beer was also cheap. You will need to walk a bit, so you will need comfortable shoes.
