Beautiful historic Hue - fabulous guide - Our guide, Son, showed us a variety of historic sites including citadels, palaces and tombs which enabled us to have insight into the history of Vietnam. He the took us to various sites with panoramic views of the river. He was extremely helpful, respectful and lots of fun. He made our day even more enjoyable when he took us to a family restaurant and the three of us shared food.

Great day with solid guide - Great day with Son, a very knowledgable driver and guide. Felt like we had known eachother for years. Spoke English well and answered any questions I had about not just Hue, but Vietnam in general. Went to a nice hidden waterfall for a swim and he brought me to try many local dishes. Overall great day and I would recommend TSM Tours to anyone looking to make the most of their stay in Hue!

Full day trip around Hue - Hired Sun as our private driver for the day. Visited Thap Phi Dien, ancient Champa tower and several of the Nguyen emperor's mausoleums around Hue. Sun also took us to the abandoned water park which was an amazing experience.
In addition to the above Sun was the absolute best driver we could ask for. He ended up being our local guide at the same time. Took us to a local market where he has his favorite Banh Xeo and for dinner took us to where the locals dine for some nem nướng (grilled spring rolls) and chè dessert. Along the way Sun showed us some beautiful areas, like Bunker hill with a beautiful view of the perfume river. A lot of these areas were away from the regular tourist crowd so we felt like it was just us and the locals which was such a special experience.
Had a great time and would recommend everyone use TSM tours!

Awesome and super friendly day trip with guide Son - Son is a very cheerful and relaxed driver with lots of experience. He not only took us around the common places in Hue like the citadelle or the tombs, but also showed us around the local market or beautiful viewpoints away from the crowds. We could get some delicious Mango and Banana and meet the local people.
He also showed us lots of local special food, but we don‘t want to spoiler too much! Worth it. We would not have found these things without Son.
Highly recommend a tour with him!

All the best things of Hue! - My friend and I booked TSM Tours the day before for our transfer to Hue. We had such a great time we decided, that we‘d also like to have the Hue city tour. He showed us a lot of places, like the tourist must sees (zitadelle and tombs) but also some local things like the market and local food. It was a lot of fun. He knows his city very well and his love for the city and the country was just enjoyable to experience. We only stayed for one night in Hue, but next time we‘ll definitely stay longer.
We can totally recommend booking a tour with him!

Solo trip to royal tombs - Lovely trip out with Son today (sorry if I've spelt that wrong)
Hired to see royal tombs. Went at 7 am and had the first two tombs completely to myself. Tailored the trip to my preferences, I wanted to avoid the crowds. A whole lot better than going in a big group. Would recommend

Great day visiting Hue with Son (private driver) - Son was an excellent host for our day visiting Hue. He was very happy to take us wherever we wanted to go and organise the day to fit within the timescale we wanted. Started off with the Citadel. We paid for an additional guide inside to fully appreciate the layout and the different rooms and reigns of the emperors / kings. This is a huge site so it’s well worth paying extra for. (We bought a combo ticket to include the royal tombs as well). We then had a coffee stop, and moved onto a visit of the Mu pagoda, the bunker hill and our highlight of the Kai Dinh tomb - really beautiful. The variety Son suggested ensured we did not get ‘too templed out’. Six hours was plenty for us and we fully enjoyed Son’s company & knowledge of his hometown.

Hue city tour - Great trip around all of the city attractions, tombs, views and local incense shops.
We were even taken for lunch at a local Pho cafe which was delicious 😋.
Highly recommend this trip.
