Great tour with very helpful driver - Our driver Sam was fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. As well as taking us to the key sites he took us to the local market in Hue and even helped us bargain for gifts just like the locals!

Go with Sam - We had super smart and nice driver Sam.
He told us a lot of stories about Wietnam and it was even more interesting than highlights (which was exotic and beatifull).

Private Hanoi tour from Halong Bay with Culture Pham Travel - We went to Hanoi from Halon Bay with Culture Pham travel. Well organised, very comfortable, flexible and an all round great day out. The communication and booking process with Mrs Thu was super easy with really clear information and instructions. We were met by our driver Mr Hien who was very polite and professional and a very good driver particularly when we in Hanoi as the traffic is incredible. The 7 seater was immaculate and water provided, we even stopped for coffee on the way. We met our guide Mr Hieu who was really good, very experienced and full of interesting information. He guided us all day, either in the vehicle or on foot and was great fun with very good spoken English. He even took fantastic photos on his phone and transferred them all to us at the end of the trip.
Hanoi is a must see city and we had one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Many sights, loads of stories and background, traditional lunch, Train street (unbelievable) and a walk through downtown- amazing.

Nice tour of Hue top attractions - I've had a very nice time with Hoa ! He drove me to the main attractions in Hue, gave me lots of advice and i've learnt a lot about Vietnamese history from him. He's also pretty funny too, so the whole tour was a great experience. I definitely recommend !

Great Service! - It was an excellent way to visit the main highlights of Huế. Thanks to this service, we were able to see three Imperial Tombs, the pagoda, and the Citadel.
We were not rushed and could truly enjoy our day in Huế.
We do wish the title of this tour were “Driving Service to See Huế’s Major Highlights,” as that would better reflect the experience.
Safe driver and very clean car.
But overall, it was absolutely worth it!!

Great day in Hue! - Great day in Hue! Our tour guide, Hoa, was wonderful. He was friendly, spoke great English, and was very knowledgeable. He messaged me in WhatsApp the day prior to confirm pickup time and location. I heard from him again the morning of the tour letting us know he was on the way. I really enjoyed our conversation on the way to each tour location explaining the history and context of each site. It made for a wonderful and educational day in Hue. I highly recommend this tour.

Great day in Hue! - We had a fantastic day enjoying Hue’s historical attractions because of our guide Hoa. I can’t emphasize enough how helpful, kind, and informative he was. He arrived a few minutes ahead of our pick up time, brought us waters, and adjusted the itinerary so we could get to see everything we wanted to see. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get a good sense of the history in beautiful Hue. Thank you Hoa!

Hue in a short time - Not having too much time it allowed me to get an overview of the different historical sites.
Phuoc. (Happiness) was very interesting and kind throughout, thank you very much. On time every time and always smiling.
Thanks to him. I recommend because the car was nickel and the driving impeccable.

Not so much of guided tour but rather a transportation - They were flexible and picked me up and dropped me off at the airport which was great. As this was a solo tour, I could see many places at my own pace. However, the “guide” is more of a driver who takes you to places and does not guide you the sites. He only gave limited information about the site before arriving there. Also his English was only ok and could not answer further questions.
