Tour of Hue - I did not realize how much was in the old city. I never would have seen it all without this tour. It then covered an important pagoda and two tombs. Excellent trip and guide.

Excellent tour of Hue and its history. - This tour was excellent. Our guide Tom was very informative and interesting. He spoke excellent English and communicated very well. We had a Dragon boat ride to start, visited the Thien Mu pagoda, the Citadel and Imperial City, Dong Ba market, then had a buffet lunch with a bonus foot detox as well. After lunch we visited the two Kings Tombs and an incense factory. Throughout the day, Tom kept us supplied with water, which was really needed. I really enjoyed my day and couldn't fault this tour.

This your sign to book this tour - Huge thanks to Austin for an amazing full-day tour of Huế. He guided us through the Imperial City (The Citadel), mausoleum of Emperor Minh Man, tomb of Khai Dinh, the Thien Mu pagoda, Dong Ba Market, and the Thuy Xuan incense village and brought the history of Hue to life in a fun, easygoing way. Austin was kind, funny, and super personable, and he was always happy to answer my family’s side questions along the way. The day flew by thanks to him! I highly recommend if you want to really understand Huế and enjoy the experience.

Full day small group tour - Fascinating trip into the era of the Nguyen dynasty with some more recent history (very PC) thrown in.. Pros: value, guide, good lunch Cons: at least a million steps Nice van with adjustable ac. It could use beverage holders. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Great lunch which was included, but any beverages are extra. The coconut coffee was so refreshing. I walked over 10000 steps and it seemed a good percentage was verticle.. Most monuments are a series of buildings, each on its very own hillock, and most of the stairs had no railings. Full disclosure, I am 79, and when our last stop was at the foot of yet another steep set of stairs, with more out of sight, I said not only no but hell no.and was directed ro a very pleasant coffee shop for about 30 minutes. Aches and pains today, but glad I went. Pick up and drop off was conveniently at my hotel.
