Great Tour to Hue - This trip was just amazing. Our guide and driver were fantastic and not only did we get a great history lesson but saw so many amazing sites all in one day. It wasn’t a rushed experience and we had time to take it all in. Highly recommend this tour for anyone with a family and teenagers.

Worthy educational tour - Even though the tour seems long and takes a lot if you come from Hoi An, it was worth to see and experience how the imperial city looked like

Macro photography delight. - I loved this tour, mainly because I am interested in nature, active conservation of important sites, and religious history. There’s a lot of walking involved, so be prepared for this. (I’m a young 70 and “just” coped.) Our guide, Tin Tin, was extremely supportive of me in this regard. The tour includes a full lunch at the restaurant of a local family. Just delicious - and plentiful! Highly recommended for people who are keen to learn about preservation of relics. The detail in some of these relics provides fertile ground for photographers interested in macro shots. Thank you Tim Tin. Your are a genuinely lovely person.

Spectacular, imposing and interesting - A great trip to the imperial city of Hue. Next to the Imperial Palace, the drive leads to the Buddha Temple and the impressive tomb complex of the Emperor. All under competent guidance and explanation. Even the outward drive over the pass is absolutely spectacular.

Forbidden Cities and Concubines. - Great one day tour in Hue, visiting the Forbidden City, and the Tomb of the Emperor. Engaging guide, once you tuned into his accent, whose knowledge was impressive. He painted a word picture of times past in the Forbidden City. Waited on by eunuchs, serviced by 1000 concubines. Great job if you can get it.The mosaic Palace was mind blowing and the Emperor’s tomb sublime. Loved it.

Great tour - Great trip. Very well organized. The imperial city and the tomb are impressive and definitely worth visiting. A stop on the coastal road is a nice addition to the itinerary - we were fortunate enough that the weather was good. The tour guide was very kind and he explained everything very clearly and particularly. Overall I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide was terrific —... - Our guide was terrific — knowledgeable with great energy. The three sites were good, especially the tomb. The problem with the tour — and this isn’t the tour’s fault — is that Hue is about 3 hours from Hoi An, so it’s a very long drive. (If you’re in Danang, the drive is two hours, which is definitely more manageable.) On the way there, you stop in two spots with beautiful views, On the way back, it’s a straight three hours without even so much as a bathroom break. Visiting the three sites is definitely a bit rushed. I don’t mind that — I move quickly — but others might feel a bit shorted. I just don’t know that two of the three sites warranted a three-hour drive. The citadel, though beautiful, is mostly rebuilt and not original. The pagoda is very pretty, but not much different than others in Vietnam. The tomb, however, was the one site that was worth the drive. The lunch stop was a highly rated restaurant in Hue with a set meal. It was solid for a tour meal, but not overly spectacular or interesting. I was glad that this tour didn’t stop anyplace where they push tourists to buy things. This was solely viewing the historical sites and two nice viewpoints. With the two viewpoints along the drive, please be aware that they may not stop along that route if the weather is bad.

Hue City - A great day trip to Hue, visiting 3 sites of the ancient city. Lunch was nice. Tom, our tour guide was quite knowledgeable as a local from Hue. Something I haven't seen mentioned in previous reviews. The road to Hue is over some mountain passes. If prone to motion sickness, take an anti-nauseant pill. If you have children with you, take a sick bag (a little girl got sick on our tour but her parents were very prepared!). The weather was rainy, and some surfaces were tile, which can be quite slippery. Take your time navigating safely. We were given water at the end of the tour, it would have been nice to have been given that at the start. Recommended for those wanting more information about Vietnam history.

Overpriced but fine - If you are two or more people you are probably better off hiring a car and/or guide for the day. Due to bad weather we couldn't see the pass on the trip which is obviously not their fault but you are then dumped for 30mins in a perl sales showroom under the pretense of a 'toilet break'. The weather by the end of the day was fine so it would have been nice to do the pass then instead. The lunch was fine but nothing special. The guide was pleasant but to be honest her English speaking accent was quite hard to understand. This being my first tour I thought this was just a 'standard' accent but I could listen into other local guides who were much clearer. My opinion, having spent some time now in Vietnam, is that the price of the tour should be about half what they are charging. Others may disagree.
