Picture perfect of what Hue can offer you - We had such a great day! All the beautiful sites you want to visit, are covered in this tour. The lunch at madam thu was really good and the footbath was so relaxing! What the tour extra special made, was our tour guide Minh Tam. She can tell you so many stories and background information in an inspirational way that Minh Tam was the icing on the cake🥰 you can’t have a greater person with you than her! Thank you Minh Tam for being our guide and friend at the same time.

Absolutely must do in Hue - We had limited time in Hue and this tour was absolutely perfect.
We did the tour with Binh and he was incredible - he was extremely knowledgeable of all this history and was able to answer all our questions. I finished this tour genuinely having learnt so much about Vietnamese culture and history because of his excellent teaching.
The place we stopped at for lunch was also delicious!
Would definitely recommend!

Great day out in Huè - If you have an interest in art, history or architecture, then this trip is for you! We started our day with a dragon boat along the river. Then we visited the Pagoda of the Heavenly lady where monks live and worship. After that, we visited the imperial city, which was gorgeous and we learned about past emperors of the Ngyuen dynasty. We took a break for lunch at Madam Thu 2 and the food was plentiful and delicious. Following that, we visited two breathtaking tombs of former emperors. The tomb of Khai Dinh was probably one of the most beautiful and ornate structures we have ever seen. Just before we headed back to the hotel, we got a got a chance to roll an incense stick which was a lot of fun. Our tour guide Bình was excellent - so friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and willing to answer all of our questions. It is a long day, but a very worthwhile one. We never would have seen as much or learned as much if we hadn’t gone on this tour. Highly recommend.

Hue- enjoyable trip ! - The visits to the historical sites and friendly group made this a memoroable trip.. The guide was very knoweldgeable, being a local resident of the city, you could see his passion and he was fully invested. The transporation could have been a bit more modern, but it was not too bade.
Overall an enjoyable trip !

Great guide, great sights, just too hot - Binh was a great guide. Picked us up from our hotel. Lovely dragonboat ride along the river. Good info at each stop. Lunch was tasty. It was just way too hot. We tapped out after lunch as our 5yo couldn’t take the walking around in the heat. Not the tour guide’s fault. Would recommend at 10°c cooler.
