Loan gave a great tour! - I had a blast today on the tour! The first stop really is to sell you pearls but after that it is good. You can skip the pearl presentation and get food/coffee outside or use the restroom. Loan (Pea) was such a delight and had some good jokes during the briefings. She did a great job keeping the large group together even towards the end of the day.

Quick tour of Hue - A great way to cover Hue from Danang, in one day. You get to see the main sites in Hue and get an understanding of the Nguyen dynasty. However, the day was hot and that reduced the pleasure a little bit. The lunch organized by the tour was excellent.

Memorable trip - It was a memorable trip with a diverse group of people. We got to visit all the important spots in Hue within a short time. Our bubbly tour guide Đáș­u Thanh Loan (Pea) did a splendid job explaining everything in great detail and gave a lot of information right from the history of Vietnam & DaNang to the legendary tales of kings, culture and food. She also spoke good English and always kept the mood lively with humour. The air conditioned bus was very comfortable. Lunch at the restaurant was yummy and the ambience was relaxing. We had great photo opportunities at picturesque locations along the way. Passing through Hai van tunnel was another plus point on this tour. This was a well organised tour and hats off to the tour operators. Thank you so much!

Great tour to see Hue sights - We got to see the three main Hue sights and spend plenty of time at each. Our tour guide Loan was great. She explained everything, was extremely well-organized and professional and told some interesting stories. Lunch was also terrific - a large sampling of local dishes at a historic restaurant. Overall, a very good day!

Long journey, but if you like history well worth the time - Journey from Hoi An took around 3 hours. We were collected in Hoi An, then did some pick ups in Da Nang, before tour started. We stopped twice on the way and no stops on way back, other than drop offs at Da Nang. Ray our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate on Vietnam history. He gave us lots of interesting facts to remember. First stop was in the mountains, a few minutes to take some photos of view down to a large bay. 2nd stop was in Lagoon. Where we had time for a small walk about, coffee and comfort break. We visited Hue Imperial City, The Citadel and then went for lunch at a restaurant in Hue. All included in trip, only had to pay for drinks with lunch. Went onto Thien Mu Pagoda and lastly The Mausoleum of the Emperor Khai Dinh in Hurong Thuy. Journey very long but, the visits were very interesting and beautiful. At each stop we were given some time to wonder by ourselves. Thanks to Ray and driver, who looked after us very well.

Amazing view of Hue Imperial City in a very hot weather - The views are amazing however there was quite a bit of walking around . Since the weather is very hot it is advisable to book a tour that has buggy car to bring you around .

Great tour for adults - This was a very good tour. We left from Hoi An so it was a very long day. The vehicle was clean and well maintained. Both the driver and tour guide were very friendly and welcoming. The tour guide had very good knowledge of the history of the sites. We stopped for lunch at an exceptional little restaurant just behind the Citadel. I would recommend this tour to other adults. I do feel however that it would not be suitable for those with young children as it is such a longdl day.

A Mixed Review - The good : our guide Pea was charming and a great storyteller which made the tour fun and informative. We enjoyed seeing the scheduled sites. The bad : the tour was advertised with a maximum of 15 . There were a total of 29 on a large bus. We were expecting a smaller and more personalized tour for the money. Given the large group it was often difficult to hear the guides explanations and direction even with her voice amplifier. We also were not given advance notice of the exact morning pick up time.

Hue City Day Trip - 12 hour day trip to Hue City from Da Nang
 long bus rides there and back and was way too hot to really enjoy the ancient city. Not much to see there either. Not worth spending a day to see it if you are visiting for a short period of time.
