Great trip! Phoungg was an excellent guide and gave us a great tour of the citadel in Hue. - We had a great trip with Phoungg- she met us early and talked to us all about the history of the Citadel- helped us with tickets and took us on a very interesting and informative tour. She was lovely and answered any questions we had. We had a fun trip!

Great Tour - Ms Ha was a wonderful and very informative guide. The tour ended up being a private one, and I enjoyed getting to see the sights and learn about the history of the imperial city. Ms Ha’s English was fantastic and it was easy to communicate. I also really enjoyed learning about modern day Vietnamese culture - not part of the tour but flowed naturally with our conversation. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hue. Ms Ha is the best!!!

Beautiful Site, Wonderful Tour Guide - My friend and I took this tour in the late afternoon and Trinh—our guide—was thoughtful and incredibly knowledgeable about the Imperial Citadel. She brought the experience to life and shared a lot of detail without being overwhelming . She even recommended a great place for dinner after the tour. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting!

A great afternoon and evening with driver Mr Hau and Ms Ha (lovely tour guide) - We wanted to go to Hue Imperial City quite last minute but booking via WhatsApp the night before was easy. We had a lovely, safe and efficient driver in Mr Hau to take us to and from our hotel in Da Nang, and upon arrival in Hue we were met by Ms Ha, our tour guide, who was super friendly and made sure our time in the Imperial City was interesting and that we got to see all the highlights and learn the major facts. Ms Ha recommended a local restaurant to eat dinner before the drive home, which was an amazing place and such good value, and we were super grateful to Mr Hau for waiting. Highly recommend.

An Impressive Experience Guided by Ms. Ho’s Expertise - The site was impressive, and Ms. Ho, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Vietnam from her, and we would have been lost without her guidance.

Tour to Citadel and Forbidden City - Our tour was very pleasant and informative. We had the opportunity to learn a lot about the Citadel and the Forbidden City, as well as about Vietnam in general, thanks to our guide, Mr. Tuân. Our guide was always available to provide additional information and helping us to take photos, always showing a good disposition. If the opportunity arises, we will recommend this guide… 😄🙏
