A wonderful guide and a wonderful tour of the villages and village life around Hue - This was a wonderful day! We did a fishing tour, going out on a boat with a couple as they actually do their fishing. Then we went to a small family farm to see the farm and have a lunch at their house that they cooked. And then we did a bike tour through several villages around Hue. Each of them was superb. No superlatives can capture how wonderful the guide Son was. He is extremely knowledgeable and wonderful at communicating his knowledge. He is able to give us insight into the life of each and all of the people that we met. And in general the people of this part of Vietnam. I warmly recommend this guide and this company for anyone who wants to get a feel for this uniquely lovely part of Vietnam.

Excellent bike , farm, and fishing tools - Son was a great guide. Helpful and knowledgeable. Great experience! Good food, lots of information, surprising scenery and locations. Meet interesting people, carry back good memories of Hue.

Unique local experience - Unique experience to meet local people and where they live and what they do for a living like fishing and farming, we loved the food, the guide is very good

Do it in Vietnam: cycling to rural Hue - Bike ride from busy to rural Hue. Along the way some special stops like the paper factory & colosseum where elephants once fought against tigers.... Places you can't go on your own. And to finish a delicious meal with a family.... All under the guidance of an extremely good and sympathetic Guide. Do it!

History, Food, and Nature in Beautiful Central Vietnam - After two weeks in Vietnam, this experience remains among the highlights. We arrived in Hue in the early morning and booked a private tour (the only kind now offered) for the next day at the last minute. Despite the late booking, Slow Travel Hue and our guide, Mr. Ánh, were kind enough to accommodate an earlier start time in the morning and an addition to our stops on the tour. Our itinerary took us from the Khai Dinh Mausoleum to the Gia Long Tomb by cycle—a lovely and easy bike ride through fields and some towns on the outskirts of Hue—and then onwards to a small farm near the banks of a tributary of the Perfume River. At both the Khai Dinh and Gia Long Tombs, Ánh guided us through the history and architecture of the monuments and fielded our many cultural and historical questions. Along the way to our farm stop, a local man partnered with Slow Travel Hue, Mr. Binh, showed us nearly a dozen herbs and foraged plants found in the forests and scrub around Hue that can be used for medical (digestive, pain relief, etc) purposes. We were also treated to a refreshing chilled herbal tea made from some of those herbs. Before eating lunch at the farm, we enjoyed paddle boarding on the river and had the opportunity to see a bomb shell recently fished up from the river by Mr. Binh. Swimming was also an option, and after the river, we were able to wash off at Mr. Binh’s home before walking a few minutes to the farm, which is managed by Mr. Binh and his relatives as a cooperative in partnership with Slow Travel Hue as a curated experience. We saw how the cooperative produces a variety of oils, soaps, teas, and balms, and enjoyed seeing and tasting plants grown around the farm, including several we had never encountered. The lunch we had at the farm was, in a trip chock-full of food tours, street food, and fine dining, one of the best we had. We enjoyed eggplant, banana blossom soup, pork, jackfruit, tofu, beef, and some delicious salts and sauces, the flavor of all of which still make me salivate. After the lunch, we returned to Hue. We were very impressed and appreciative of Slow Travel Hue’s itinerary, which gave us a glimpse of rural Vietnamese life and allowed us to take it in at a slower pace and in more peaceful corners than if we had traveled by motorbike; we enjoyed the integration of human histories with contemporary human-nature interaction. We were also deeply appreciative of Mr. Anh, our guide, who discussed dozens of topics with us, from politics to philosophy, and who went above and beyond in helping us understand the plants and herbs we encountered. He’s an old hand at guiding, and we really enjoyed spending the day cycling and learning from him. I’d immediately recommend the Slow Travel Hue experience to anyone interested in a more comprehensive understanding of Thua Thien Hue away from its tourist hotspots, and I think the price is well worth the exposure to people, history, and nature that Slow Travel Hue provides. Oh, and always see if you can bike more—the countryside around Hue is full of hidden delights, from the tombs of the Nguyen lords to the streams and fields of the Perfume River watershed.

Fabulous! Highlight of our trip - This was a highlight of our holiday in Vietnam. Nhi is an amazing guide, she has so much knowledge and has a great sense of humour - the whole day was so much. I particularly enjoyed going to the local village by bike (one member of our family took a cyclo instead), having lunch with the local family. We also booked an evening food and cyclo tour with Nhi which I can thoroughly recommend. The food was amazing and it was great fun riding through the Hue on the cyclos.

Bicycle tour - Beautiful bike ride through rural areas. A very good English speaking guide who knows a lot about this area. .

Slow Travel is really worth looking into! - Nie was an amazing guide who has fabulous knowledge of Hue. She has great English. And it is very good what they specialise in. Slow travel! You travel by Cyclo or bicycle, around Hue. Firstly, we had two Cyclo riders pick us up from our hotel. Then we travelled to a vegetarian restaurant where we had an amazing meal. Then we travelled to another restaurant for pancakes. OmG, they were fabulous. Coconut Coffee was enjoyed at another really cool hip restaurant. It's was such a fun night. Next morning we were met again by Nie and the same Cyclo drivers to visit the countryside. Rice fields, paper making items for locals to burn. A local artist was observed. I really do recommend Slow travel.
