Hue driving tour with driver, and historical explanations of each site!!! - We have made a car tour with driver in the city of Hue, the driver has been extremely friendly, cooperative, and attentive to the whole family. He speaks very good English and has historical knowledge of Hue. A big help! Especially for hot spells, the car came phenomenal and the price agreed very reasonable.

Best way to see Hue - The tour was amazing. We were able to see all the sights in one day, travel at our own pass, in a comfortable air conditioned car. Our guide Han was so friendly, informative, he really looked after my partner and myself. To have English speaking guides was so helpful. This is truely the best way to see the sights in Hue. Thank you Han for a great day. Jo and Darren.

A half-day private boat tour - We were seeking a personalized and insightful Hue experience in a limited timeframe, and this tour delivered. The private boat was comfortable and felt luxurious, allowing us to fully appreciate the Perfume River's beauty. Our guide's knowledge of the Thien Mu Pagoda and the Imperial Citadel was impressive. It was fascinating to learn about the history and architectural significance of each site. We left feeling like we had gained a deeper understanding of Hue's rich past and cultural heritage.

Exploring Hue's history - This half-day tour was the perfect way to experience the historical highlights of Hue. The private boat on the Perfume River was a tranquil way to travel, offering beautiful views of the city. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories about the iconic Thien Mu Pagoda and the sprawling Imperial Citadel complex. We appreciated the balance of guided insights and time to explore at our own pace. For anyone interested in Hue's culture and history, this tour is a fantastic and efficient option.

Hue City Tour not to be missed. - We did some research before booking Friendly Cars, we had initially booked to transfer us from Hue to Hoi An. Our plan was to have one day in Hue and explore the city by ourselves and then be transferred to Hoi An. Instead we decided to use Friendly Cars to conduct a City tour for us. This proved to be a very good decision. First of all our driver whose name is Tin was excellent, we felt safe and comfortable with him. His car was clean and to a high standard……all pretty important to help you feel relaxed. Our driver (Tin) spoke very good English which added to our experience as he was able to explain the historical sites and explain where we should go. We visited 5 sites…. The Ancient City, Pagoda and 3 x Tombs. These sites were extremely interesting and much better than I had anticipated. The driver let us decide how much time to spend at each sites, we could eat and drink to suit us…….. it was a tour at our pace. If it wasn’t for Friendly Cars we wouldn’t have seen so much. They made our time in Hue….. to such an extent we are considering returning. We noticed our tours by small coach etc. I feels as though we had much better value for money. So thank you Tin and Friendly cars
