Highlights
  • Hue Imperial City (The Citadel) - HUE was considered the capital of Vietnam during the years 1802 until 1945 and was considered to be the political and cultural capital under the Nguyen Dynasty during that time. The beautiful Perfume River winds its way through the City, the Imperial City, the Forbidden Purple City and the Inner City thereby giving Hue the feeling of serene great beauty.

Thien Mu is an active Buddhist monastery with origins dating back to 1601. One of its most poignant displays is a car belonging to a former monk who in 1963 drove to Saigon and set himself alight to protest against the South Vietnamese regime and its cruel treatment of Buddhist monks and followers.
  • Tomb of Khai Dinh - Khai Dinh Tomb - The architecture between the Asian and European styles is harmonized, the classical and the modern combine all to create a rich feature. Especially, here is surrounded by nature, creating a unique majestic scenery.

Danang to Hue day trip - Tommy organised us a bespoke tour. We had an excellent driver pick us up on time from DaNang and take us to Hue stopping along the way at all the places we’d requested. Lunch was booked in a lovely restaurant- even our children enjoyed the food! In Hue Linda met us and did a wonderful job showing us all the places we wanted to see. They even looked after us until it was time to catch our night train. We are so happy with our day and would highly recommend Tommy and his team!

An amazing way to see Hai Van Pass and Hue with tour guide Hien. - We had a great day with Tommy Đào’s team. Tommy was so easy to work with prior to the tour and was very responsive. Our driver Gon arrived early to greet us at our hotel in Da Nang and joked and talked with us on our way to Hue. In Hue we met our tour guide Hien, who was wonderful in every way! It was a very hot and humid day and she was so careful to make sure we spent as much time in the shade as possible. She did a great job explaining each landmark. Additionally, she took us to a hidden gem of a bakery for a quick on the go lunch when we needed something to eat. I would recommend Tommy’s tours to anyone going to central Vietnam! In fact, we ended up booking a tour with Tommy at the last minute since we was so accommodating and easy to work with. Thank you Tommy, Hien and Gon!!

Brilliant - Once again we chose Tommy Dao to transfer us from Hue to HoiAn today with the very nice Mr Phe as our driver in a very big and spacious van. First stop for both delicious lunch and photo op was at Lap An Lagoon. Next was Hai Van Pass which we enjoyed much more than our last trip which was by the train. Lastly Tommy suggested we stop at Lady Buddha statue in Danang to pray for lots of rain to fall over our beautiful Australia. All in all such an easy carefree and enjoyable day and as usual Mr Tommy Dao excelled in his communication and highly professional service. We would never use anyone else for all our tours or transfers when in HoiAn~Danang or Hue

Wonderful full day tour to Hue - We were taken around by Lam and Hung. Hung drove really carefully and Lam was so good at explaining the history of the sights we saw. He clearly has a passion for it and the stories and insight he shared was fascinating. They took care of us and went at our pace. Really rewarding full day tour. Highly recommend! Was very easy to organise with Tommy. Thanks all!

Fantastic experience, reccomended to all. - The private tour was great and definitely exceeded my expectations considering that it was so much cheaper than other options. We got picked up from our Hoi An hotel by the driver Hung and tour guide Duy. On our first we spent the day visiting the Marble Mountains, Hai Van Pass, and Khai Dihn Tomb; with lunch and photo stops along the way. Ending the day with drop off to our Hue hotel On the second day we got picked up from the Hue hotel and toured the Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Tu Duc Tomb. Again, with lunch and drop off at the hotel in Hoi An. We later had a traditional dinner with Tommy and his family and Duy. I enjoyed the local food and (multiple) beers. Tommy even picked up the bill for us. Everything was organised though Facebook messenger which was really easy. I would recommend Tommy for any tour you are contemplating and cannot praise both Duy and Hung enough.

Amazing experience! - I booked our tour with Tommy through Facebook messenger whilst still in New Zealand. It was very straight forward and Tommy was quick to reply. He set up an outline of the plan but gave me the opportunity to add any extras. The trip that I booked was a private tour for my partner and I which stretched over two days. On day one Hung (driver) and Duy (tour guide) picked us up at our Hoi An hotel. We visited the Marble Mountains, Hai Van Pass and Khai Dihn Tomb. We were also given the freedom to stop at any time to take photos before being dropped off at our Hotel in Hue. The next morning Hung and Duy picked us up from our Hue hotel and we did a tour of the Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Tu Duc Tomb. On arrival back to our Hoi An hotel Tommy messaged me and my partner and invited us out to dinner later that night. We had the most delicious traditional Hoi An food with lovely company (Tommy and his wife and gorgeous son, and Duy our great guide). Further to this, Tommy also organised our airport shuttle for flight back home. Truly amazing service. From the knowledge of Duy, the smooth driving of Hung, and the extra care from Tommy this private tour exceeded our expectations.

Good way to see Hue - We stayed in Hoi An and decided to do a day trip to Hue. Organising the trip through Tommy was easy through Facebook and WhatsApp. Our guide on the day was great and very knowledgeable. A little bit more expensive than other tour operators but the professionalism was worth it. A great way to see Hue in a day.
