Half day private tour in Hue.

Published on Jan, 2025

Private tour with guide Hung. He was so friendly and informative. We went to the Imperial Citadel and Pagoda. Then had a boat trip on the perfume river. Then Hung drove us back to our hotel. Highly recommend and thank you Hung for making it an amazing trip!

Very enjoyable with knowledgeable guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Thao was a fantastic guide and really gave us a deep understanding of the history surrounding each of our stops Nothing was an issue and we very much recommend

Highly Recommend Trang!

Published on Jan, 2025

We very much enjoyed the half-day tour with Trang! We had a rainy day, and Trang endeavored to arrange the day in a way that made the most of the expected periods of lighter rain, which was very appreciated. Trang provided great history and information. My only disappointment was that we did not visit any of the tombs (e.g. Tomb of Tu Duc, etc.). Perhaps this wasn't included in the tour, but they are listed in the "What to Expect" section of the Tour, so I was expecting to see this. We were provided with the full tour duration, and Trang was excellent, so it is a minor item. However, I was disappointed to have missed it. Again, this very likely was user error on my part, and I highly recommend Trang's tour, so full 5 stars!

5 star service his car was fresh and very clean he also was ready for us as because it was raining he brought umb clean

Hong was on time though the train was a bit early He speaks English fluently and he is well knowledgeable in the history of his country We had very good time with him and never in a hurry He explained thoroughly to detailed I give him 5 star
