6 reviews for Hue City Private Tour

  1. Ritano Anderson
    I don't understand why there are so few reviews here, but in my opinion, this is a good tour organizer. I had a tour with tour guide Linh and driver Tam. Everything was professional, and I will definitely use the service at this place the next time I come to Vietnam.
  2. M. Wilson
    I am truly grateful to Mr. Minh, who accompanied us throughout this program. Despite the entire day being rainy, he remained cheerful throughout the journey. What's even better is that he made an effort to solve all my problems. I was initially shy to discuss my concerns, but thankfully, everything turned out fine.
  3. Laura Miller
    I believe Thien Mu Pagoda and Hue Imperial Citadel are two must-visit places when coming to Hue. Thien Mu Pagoda is truly peaceful, and I had the opportunity to hear spiritual stories narrated by Minh, my tour guide. Additionally, in this program, I enjoyed the local food, which suited me perfectly. I rate it as okay.

    An interesting program with great destinations - exactly what we needed upon arriving in Hue. Our tour guide, knowledgeable and fluent in English, accompanied us throughout. Trying local dishes in Hue was an added bonus. I think everything was very good.
  5. Winifred
    They offered a tour that covered all the destinations I had planned, making it convenient for us. Upon reaching Thien Mu Pagoda, the captivating scenery left a lasting impression on me. Our tour guide, Tyna, helped us capture beautiful photos at this picturesque location. The destinations were truly meaningful, boasting eye-catching architecture. To top it off, we enjoyed a delicious meal. It was a great experience!
  6. Grace
    Great! I like the poetic beauty of Hue City. We visited Hue Imperial City and its mausoleums. I was completely impressed by the architecture and history of these places, which my personal tour guide shared with me. I was especially impressed by the architecture of the Khai Dinh mausoleum, which is magnificent. In addition, I had a wonderful lunch with Hue specialties, which perfectly suited my taste. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
