5.00On time pick up by guide Candy, stick to schedule for attractions and sharing of attractions’ background/history by guide Candy. The vehicle to bring us around is clean and driver’s driving skill is good that didn’t cause car sickness going through hai van pass, good that they provided water for guests’ comfort. Look for Candy if you got the chance or opportunity very caring and sincere.

5.00A long day but worth the time if you don't have long to see Hue. Did a lot in the time and saw some great places. Toan was great and had good knowledge of the places we visited. We had an excellent lunch. It is a long day so be prepared, but we'll worth it.

5.00He explained in great detail including the history of Vietnam. I'm satisfied. I also think Vietnamese food tastes good and suits Japanese taste. This tour was very international with people from the Philippines, Germany, Czech Republic and USA. Of course, my wife and I were from Japan. I came home safe, having fun with you. Thank you for your hard work, guide and driver. Thank you very much.
Would definitely recommend

5.00I had a great time with One on the tour to Hue. I booked it quite spontaneously (the night before), but it was worth every Cent. The tour takes a whole day, so you need to plan quite a lot of time in case of delays (we had one due to an accident on the road on the way back). One is very knowledgeable, friendly and did a great job in combining a lot of places in just one day. I enjoyed the small size of our group and everyone was very friendly. Great way to meet new people as well. Also, lunch was great!
