I am so glad that we booked this tour - Nhung was a great tour guide, she was very helpful and informative as well as answering all questions we had. The tour itself was a good pace and we really enjoyed seeing Hue and the historical sights. Nhung had lots of interesting information to give us. We were very tired because we didn’t sleep well, so sorry that we couldn’t be more talkative! But we loved listening :) Everything was on time and the driver was also very kind and helpful. I would recommend anyone to go on this tour to Hue. Thanks Nhung!

Visita guiada con Ms. Nhu y Mr. Trung (conductor) excelente. Dedicamos unas 4h a visitar las 3 tumbas, una pagoda y una tiendecita local. La visita fue muy enriquecedora para conocer la historia de los diferentes emperadores de Hue y sus curiosidades. Además, intercambiamos aspectos y tradiciones culturales entre Bcn y Vietnam. Al finalizar nos recomendaron un lugar de comida típica. Sin duda, repetiríamos! Muchas gracias a ambos!

Good experience to visit Vietnam historical sites. Although the trip to Hue lasts about 2 and half hours, the sites are near to each other. This makes the 4 to 5 hour stay at Hue enriching and fulfilling. The guide is comprehensive and accommodating. She also introduces a good restaurant for my self-paid lunch.

we had an amazing tour, Thanh our driver was so helpful and made seeing all the sights in Hue so fun and easy. I would really recommend!

Nice mix of sites - but concentrating mainly on the Imperial Citadel. The guide was fun and informative.
