We had a fantastic tour with Nhien! She was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the imperial city. She was also a joy to talk to - so kind, friendly and funny! We'd definitely recommend this tour. 😊

We had a great time with our guide Nhu'! The tour was very informative and she was such a nice person. We had a long walk and heard so much about the different buildings and also about the history of the palace and Vietnam. We had a great time and this is highly recommended!

We booked a guided tour through emperor‘s city yesterday. Ha (our guide) leaded us through the huge facility and shared her impressive knowledge. In the meantime we had time to ask own questions and it became more kind of a dialogue. From time to time we had time to look around by our own. It was a perfect mixture and we learned a lot. I can definitely recommend to book a guided tour to learn more about the emperor‘s city, since it’s a huge facility and I imagine that it’s difficult to get all information on your own. Ha is a very friendly and open person. I can highly recommend to have the tour with her.

Our tour of the Citadel and the Imperial Palace with Ngoc was absolutely amazing. Ngoc’s historical knowledge combined with his passion for history and his country made this tour outstanding. We were captivated by the stories he shared and the vision he created of life in the palace. 1000/10 - would highly recommend.

We had a great tour with Thanh who could answer all our questions regarding the imperial Court and gave many interesting information. Historical, cultural and all other topics were covered.

Our guide, Nhien, was the perfect guide for our visit to the Imperial city! Moreover, in the days that followed, she supported us remotely for the rest of our trip to Vietnam (during the days of the Bauloi storm). Thanks again!
