Spectacular tour with a fantastic guide - We have been taking tours all over Vietnam during the past 2 weeks. This tour was by far the best of the best. Our guide, T, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and his English is outstanding. This tour began at the tombs of the 2nd emperor and 12th emperor, where T clearly explained the history of the emperors, the history of Vietnam during that time period, and the underlying architecture. We also visited the Citadel/Imperial City and walked through the interior grounds and buildings, while continuing to learn about the history and architecture of the relevant time periods. T took us to lunch at a local restaurant where we enjoyed several foods that are part of Hue's local cuisine. This was one of our best meals in Vietnam. Last we visited the pagoda and took a cruise along the Perfume River. From our tour with T we felt that we gained an in-depth understanding of the local history, culture, and cuisine. We also learned about the more recent history of the city and local customs through T's eyes, having grown up in a neighboring village. We highly recommend this tour with T.

Private Hue Tour - Ms. Linh arranged a private tour to Hue. Driver Hau was very friendly and helpful. Provided lots of bottled water and took us to the best lunch spot. Highly recommend this tour.

Do yourself a favour! - Cannot rate this tour highly enough. Our driver knew his way around and navigated the Hue streets with ease. What really made the day incredible was the wealth of knowledge of my guide named “T”. So much information willingly shared and amazing insights into the history of Vietnam. And fabulous company for the day with lots of laughter shared!

Exploring Hue - The private tour of Hue was amazing and a great fit for our family that ranged from kids to grandchildren. T was a very well informed guide that had very thoughtful answers to all our questions. Lunch was especially good, and a great introduction to local cuisine that we would not otherwise have eaten.
