We were guided by Mr Hung and driven by Mr Minh. Both were very friendly and professional. We had such a great time learning about the history of Hue and stopped at multiple places. It was a relief to get out of the heat and in to a private air-conditioned car everytime we left a stop. Mr Minh was very attentive and opened and closed our doors and even had cold bottles of water for us during the whole day. If you get the chance, opt for the Hue Food option (you get a choice between this or vegetarian). We visited a popular local restaurant and tasted all the delicious regional foods. If you're lucky you might meet the owners cute son who makes clay figurines. Mr Hung was SO knowledgeable and friendly while guiding us through Hue. He gave us great insight to the history but also gave us time to explore on our own. At no point did we ever feel rushed. We will definitely be back with the extended family and book a tour with Mr Minh and Mr Hung. Definitely a value for money tour and a great way to spend the day.

We had Hung Pham as our tour guide and Minh as our driver. Hung was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient and caring. He knew hundreds of historical facts and kept us in awe the entire day. He stayed with us for most of the time but gave us privacy and time to roam too. Mr. Minh was an excellent valet, providing cold water and meeting us at the end of each stop so we did not have to walk, as it was very hot (38 degrees!). We felt very comfortable and well taken care of. We will definitely recommend this company - especially Hùng and Minh specifically and we hope to see them again when we return. Thank you, Anh Hùng and Chú Minh!

Hoa took us around to see a bunch of monuments and tombs. I loved it, seeing all the sights put you back into a different world, pretty dope tbh. Also the buffet you get for lunch is fire a variety of Vietnamese foods. Do this tour if you want to culture yourself and not feel like a piece of white bread when you’re in Vietnam.

Fantastic day with Mr Hoa. Very informative and entertaining guide. Visited temples, tombs and the citadel. Trip down the Perfume river on a dragon boat and fantastic lunch at a local restaurant too. Highly recommend, looked after with chilled water and those magic towels!!
