Amazing visit to Hue

Ryan was an amazing guide. He was very punctual and professional, with a happy attitude all the time. We had a great time in our trip to Hue and I liked that he explained the history of the places we visited but also gave us free time walk around on our own. The food at lunchtime was also really delicious and nice! It was a really hot day and we had lunch really late so that was a bit tough. Maybe you should add a snack/icrecream as part of the experience.
