An informative and interesting tour of Vietnam's history in Hue
Kerry W,Mar 6, 2024
- Review from Viator
5.00We had a great tour with guide Fi. There were 9 of us on our trip. We were first of 3 picks ups and it was all very quick- we were on the dragon boat within 30mins. It was a very hot day but the air conditioned mini bus in-between visits provided respite. Fi was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind, she answered all our questions and took things at a nice pace, stopping us in the shade to talk. She returned a shirt to change it for one of the guests on the guide when we realised a stain on it after he purchased it. And the next day we bumped into her going into a tomb by ourselves (not in a tour) and she kindly helped us get in! Request her if you can, you won't be disappointed. The tour was informative and just the right about of time in the heat. We were back to the hotel and in the pool by 1pm.

5.00We had a great time in Hue even though it was only 1 day. We had a day to visit Hue with all the famous sights and delicious lunch. And the highlight of the tour is the guide, Fi, she's very knowledgeable and humble. She explained all our questions with her passion. Really worth the tour for you to experience

5.00Really great tour. Our guide Fi was really knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the places we visited. The driver was also very good, the van was nice, clean and air-conditioned. The tour took us to the most beautiful and historically significant places. This tour is very good and I would recommend booking it.
Amazing trip and tour guide!

5.00Our Guide M.Long was very very nice and explained to us a lot about the temples we visited. We learned the difference between Pagotas and Temples and all sorts of ancient Vietnamese traditions related to Budhist whorshipping/rituals (some of which are still practiced in the temples we visited to this day)! Hence, not only did we have a beautiful view but our wonderful guide M.Long made the history behind those buildings come to life! Thanks again M.Long and keep on touring!!
Fantastic Hue city experience with Xi

5.00My wife and I are Chinese living in the US. We have traveled to many countries in multiple continents, but have yet to find a tour guide as friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate as Xi with the Hue City Deluxe tour. Xi is knowledgeable, professional, passionate of what she does. She is easily one of the best tour guides we have had. Xi explained the history of Hue, the background of each tourist attractions, the Nguyen and other Vietnamese dynasties clearly and in concisely. The tour definitely exceeded our expectation. My wife and I immensely enjoyed the Hue City Tour. If we ever come back to central Vietnam (Hue, Hoi An, etc) we will certainly want to book a private tour with Xi. At the end of the tour when Xi found out that day was my birthday, they surprised me with a special gift from Hue. She even helped us to make a reservation to a roof top bar that overlooks the whole city for celebration. Thank you so much for the great experience!
Great Tour

5.00I really enjoyed this tour of UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Imperial City of Hue is a great site to visit as is the Forbidden Purple City. I also enjoyed the Dragon Boat ride on the Perfume River. This tour is well worth the cost and having a lovely, english speaking guide made the tour all the more interesting.
