Kind Tour Guide with Lots of Knowledge :) - Trinh was extremely kind and her English was incredibly good (understanding my fairly hard to understand midlander accent). She was very knowledgeable about the area and Vietnam in general, answering all of my questions. She clearly knows the sight well and enjoys her job and it was interesting just hearing her perspective about things, let alone about the tour itself :) if you’re going to book a tour I would strongly suggest her as your guide :)

Fascinating historical and cultural introduction to Hue - This was the best historical tour we have done in Vietnam. Our guide Ngoc was exceptional. He gave us an amazing background on Hue and particularly the period of the Nguyen Dynasty. We learned a lot about the behind the scene plots and intrigues that occurred during this period (including murder and poisoning of kings) which outdo any TV drama. We learned about the construction of the Imperial city and the Citadel, there are some amazing structures to view, and also the impact of war - bullet holes are visible in some walls from the Tet offensive during the Vietnam war. We highly recommend Ngoc - having studied History at Uni and fluent in English, he really made this period come alive for us and is clearly so passionate about it. Importantly for us, our teenagers loved the experience.

A private look into the lives and deaths of the Vietnam dynasties. - Set up the appointment late and had a unique schedule request, all washandled in the most professional manner. Ngoc Luu is an expert on the Dynasties of Vietnsm . As an educational professional it wasso refreshing to hear his eloquent monolog/ dialog about the dynamics and drama as we passed through history. Ngoc is a good listener, who answered my enquiries with critical thinking responses. I learned so much , and I would love to do a whole day adventure with him. Ps he also gave a great recommendation for lunch. Best food I've had so far on this excursion. Highly , recommend anytime spent with Ngoc. A true scholar.

Best guide! - Visiting the Imperial City was an absolute highlight of our trip. The restoration efforts have paid off beautifully, making every corner of the city a breathtaking snapshot of history brought back to life. But the real star of our visit was our guide Ngoc. He was incredibly knowledgeable, brimming with great stories that painted a vivid picture of the city's past. His enthusiasm for the history was contagious, and he made sure everyone was engaged and having a great time. His guidance turned a simple tour into a memorable moment.
