Traveler reviews
The sweetest guide Fi
We went on an amazing tour with the best guide, Fi. She was really well prepared and knew a lot about all we saw. Even though we had a million questions, she was happy to answer all of them. If you are going to Vietnam I would definitely recommend going to hue and get a tour like this (with Fi) to get a greater perspective on the Vietnamese history🙌🏻
Hue Imperial city
Our experience was soo good!!! The guide, Fi, was very helpfull all the time, and her knowledge of The imperial city was great. She even help us finding some tablets that we needed
The highlight of my visit to Hue
I intended to go to the Citadel and Tombs independently. At the last minute I decided I wanted a guide to show me around and to explain the history. It was the best decision I made. I contacted the company directly and everything was so easy to arrange. My guide, Ms Fi was amazing. With her excellent English and local knowledge she was so informative. She was also able to answer any questions I had about the Imperial history. I was also really impressed that after mentioning I’m vegetarian, I was taken to a lovely vegetarian restaurant. I would highly recommend this really professional company (I’ll be getting touch for when I go to Hoi in a few days!).
Great guide
We had a nice day with our guide Ton (not sure if it is the right spelling). A balanced dose of humor, smiling, and as soon as there was a moment he taught us additional things.
Forbidden city
I really nice tour, well laid out and delivered by a really great tour guide. Would highly recommend
