We had a great experience with our tour leader, Mariana and our driver. She was very informative and gave us some time to walk around and take photos at each of the stops. The lunch was good and had vegetarian options which were delicious. Overall, it was a great day trip to Hue!

Thong and our driver were the stars and deserver a 5 star rating. Thong is a professional that is aware of his diverse group needs/requests, shares his studied historical facts with clarity/enunciation, and engages in questions/observations from his audience. As well a shout out for the driver arranging for an ice chest so cold water was available and offered through the day. The tour sites/stops I give a 4 star rating. I am always interested in cultural diversity and historical sites/architecture but the imperial city (the focus of the tour) is not maintained as a cultural landmark. I am not speaking of restoration to the buildings but manageable less costly efforts such as removal/pickup of trash on the grounds, cut overgrown grass, or eliminate weeds from paths. Those touches would reflect greater pride in the nations heritage. I was impressed with the unique architecture and grandeur of the Tomb of Khai Dinh which was the last stop. Also, a stop at the Viet Pearl Gift shop was a loss of time. I suspect given the sales pressure when I walked into the shop that tour companies do receive some type of compensation from Viet Pearl for bringing in potential customers.
