Must-do Hue day tour

The drive to & from Hue from Hoi An was prompt & smooth. Lots of walking involved (not ideal for older people especially in the hot May weather). Lunch was delicious! The information provided about the castle, tomb etc. was sufficient but there could have been more stories shared - I suppose our guide was as tired out because of the hot sun as we were. Both our driver & guide were well-spoken, well- mannered & fun. Overall, the tour was a day well spent but also quite tiring.

Exceptional time in Hue

The tour was excellent. Our guide, Xi, was ver knowledgeable and gave us a good understanding of what we were seeing. She and the company was flexible as we went at our own pace. The driver was friendly and showed us various places on the way to Hue. I highly recommend taking this tour.
