Traveler reviews
An informative and interesting tour of Vietnam's history in Hue
We had a great tour with guide Fi. There were 9 of us on our trip. We were first of 3 picks ups and it was all very quick- we were on the dragon boat within 30mins. It was a very hot day but the air conditioned mini bus in-between visits provided respite. Fi was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind, she answered all our questions and took things at a nice pace, stopping us in the shade to talk. She returned a shirt to change it for one of the guests on the guide when we realised a stain on it after he purchased it. And the next day we bumped into her going into a tomb by ourselves (not in a tour) and she kindly helped us get in! Request her if you can, you won't be disappointed. The tour was informative and just the right about of time in the heat. We were back to the hotel and in the pool by 1pm.
Learned a lot of history in Hue
Had a great tour of the city and learned a lot about the history of The Hue citadel and the imperial times. Bring your walking shoes as you will do quite a bit in the imperial city.
Hue city tour
We had a great time in Hue even though it was only 1 day. We had a day to visit Hue with all the famous sights and delicious lunch. And the highlight of the tour is the guide, Fi, she's very knowledgeable and humble. She explained all our questions with her passion. Really worth the tour for you to experience
City tour
This was great, we saw all the highlights of Hue in a few hours, with a good guide Fi who explained everything to us. Lunch was also good, very tasty.
Hue City Tour
Really great tour. Our guide Fi was really knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the places we visited. The driver was also very good, the van was nice, clean and air-conditioned. The tour took us to the most beautiful and historically significant places. This tour is very good and I would recommend booking it.
