So much history! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and history, we learnt so much. Lunch was delicious and our driver was there to pick us up as soon as we finished each section of the tour. Highly recommend doing this!

The tour was well organized and our tour guide was very nice and informative. We had about the right amount of time at each place and the van was comfortable and well air conditioned. The tour hits the highlights which is what we wanted. We were disappointed with the view at Hai Van Pass - the air at the end of March is not very clear - it obviously wasn't the fault of the tour guide - but everyone had been telling us we needed to go to the pass because it was so beautiful but you really couldn't see much from the pass. The gate at the pass was interesting however and the pass is on the way so not a big deal to stop for 10 minutes - i just wanted to warn folks that going just to see the pass would be unfortunate. The other stops were great and lunch was very good. The other thing i wish i had known ahead of time is that it can get very hot so best to bring a fan or cold towel.

This was an absolutely great tour! Not only we were the only ones taking it which was awesome, the itinerary was well planned and we got to see so many things! Even despite the rain in the beginning that limited the ability to get amazing views on the Hai Van pass we had a great time. Hue Imperial city and other stops were a must-see and our guide Abby was fantastic and gave a lot of info about history and traditions. Absolutely recommend!

Tour to Hue turned out to be a private tour with guide Emily and driver Lao. Emily was fantastic, very energetic, funny, knowledgeable, and good paparazzi;) Lunch was delicious! Tour was very interesting. Emily gave us a lot of interestings facts about dynasty Nguyen and some other info about country in present times. It was a long day bit we didnt really feel it thanks to Emily. Great job!

We had a very full but enjoyable day today. Our destination was Hue and we went via the Hai Van pass which had stunning views. We stopped at Lang Co, Emperor Khai Dinh’s mausoleum and the Imperial City at Hue. We enjoyed a 7 course Vietnamese meal in a beautiful restaurant, followed by a Pagoda visit and ride along the river in a boat. Our guide, My was very friendly and knowledgeable and we were never rushed. The drive back to Da Nang was long but it was overall very worthwhile.

Very much enjoyed this trip from Da Nang. Our guide Emily was excellent - kind, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and we felt very well looked after. Loved the drive over the pass into Hue, the places we visited and the delicious lunch. Well worth the travel time and highly recommended this tour to see the historical sites of Hue.
