Hue City Royal Tombs Tour - We had a great experience on this tour. Ngoc our English speaking guide assisted by our private car driver Tam guided us around the city on this delightful very informative tour. Ngoc’s knowledge of the various dynasties was outstanding , his knowledge of the history at the each tomb put it all into context for us throughout the tour. This tour is recommended before visiting the citadel, it gives you all the history and why the citadel is where it is. It as a rainy day for us, despite this, the private car and attentive driver providing umbrellas and great overall experience. A covered family owned dragon boat added to the highlights. I can recommend this tour with Ngoc, his knowledge of Hue city being a local resident provided a great experience for us. Thank you Ngoc Darryl and Brigitte Western Australia

A Refreshing, Culturally Rich Voyage with Hue Top Tours - After the highly enriching experience of the Imperial City tour, we didn't hesitate to embark on another adventure with Matthew from Hue Top Tours. This time, we delved into the historical tapestry of Hue via the Thien Mu Pagoda and Tombs tour. Matthew's careful planning, coupled with his insightful narrative, made for an unforgettable day, especially considering the challenging heat of the day. Our day began with a visit to the Minh Mang Tomb. This early stop was a prime example of Matthew's thoughtful planning, as it allowed us to explore the impressive tomb during the cooler part of the day. The Minh Mang Tomb, with its historical significance and architectural brilliance, was a fascinating start to our journey. Next, we visited the Tomb of King Tu Duc. Each tomb in Hue has its own distinct design and narrative, and Tu Duc's was no different. Matthew's detailed storytelling brought to life the bygone era of the Nguyen Dynasty, and his knowledge deepened our appreciation of the architectural beauty around us. Our journey continued to the renowned Thien Mu Pagoda. Known as one of the most significant Buddhist temples in Hue, this stop proved to be a unique spiritual and historical encounter. Matthew's articulate explanation of the Pagoda's history, architecture, and surrounding serene gardens made the visit all the more enriching. The tour concluded with a scenic boat ride down the picturesque Perfume River. Matthew's foresight in planning this relaxing river journey during the hotter part of the day made the experience even more enjoyable. The stunning landscapes and tranquil ambience provided a perfect end to a well-curated day. Matthew and Hue Top Tours not only offered us historical insight and beautiful vistas, but also a tailored, thoughtful itinerary that took into account the comfort and enjoyment of our young family. I highly recommend the Thien Mu Pagoda and Tombs tour to families, history buffs, and anyone seeking to immerse themselves in Hue's rich past. With Matthew's personalized tours, skilled storytelling, and extensive historical knowledge, you're in for an unforgettable journey through Hue's ancient wonders.
