Worth every penny! - We had a very nice day with our guide who showed us the ancient city, tombs and more. The two of us went to Imperial City two weeks ago, but being there with a person who really knows and can talk about everything was amazing. We learned about behind the scenes, which we couldn't even have looked for. The lunch included many different Vietnamese dishes. Many thanks also to the bus driver, who drove us from point A to point B all day. The whole day was great! Anyone who has the slightest desire should go on tour there.

This tour is well worth it - What a wonderful experience exploring Hue ! The ancient tombs tell stories of Vietnam's glorious past, and the incense making village was a fascinating place to visit. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and spoke excellent English, answering all our questions with ease. This tour is well worth it for anyone interested in history and culture.

Fabulous Tour/Very Imformative - We enjoyed all of it. The pagoda, citadel, the Forbidden City, the market and the tombs were amazing to see and the stories from each were facinating. Our tour guide did a great job explaining everything. He was very knowledgeable. We had lunch back in Hue at Madam Thu and the food was so tasty. I would highly recommend this tour.

Hue is not to be missed & this tour really covers it all. - Wow Hue is so amazing - my knees are killing me after all those steps, but soooo worth it! Temples, pagodas, tombs, & imperial palace. Also the dragon boat was cool- not as fancy as the one in the photo, but still beautiful.

Yes, an absolute must - So much has already been said, so here are just a few tips: leave in the morning before the Chinese tourist buses arrive.
Take an audio guide (better yet a guide - the money is worth it).
Buy a combo ticket. Attention: the prices have picked up quite a bit.
Citadel alone: 200 000dong
Comboticket (with the 3 main graves): 530,000Dong.
I recommend 2 days

Amazing tour - We have used this tour company a few times now, as we have had such a good experience every time. The car is in great condition, very clean, and the driver is prompt and safe. Very informative and we saw a lot in a very short time. Cannot recommend this service enough- we have been travelling through Southeast Asia for 2 months now, and this is the best company we have worked with!
