5.00We really enjoyed this experience which was organised and orchestrated brilliantly. Hoa was a great guide who was knowledgeable and approachable. Food at lunchtime was tasty and the sights were generally memorable. The only exceptions were the Dragon Boat ride (not a lot to see on the river) and the market visit which didn't really add much to the experience.
Cool Experience

5.00We visited the most important historical sites of Hue, such as the Imperial Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda and the tombs of Minh Mang and Khai Dinh. Our guide Yang knows a lot about the history of Vietnam. We also had a short visit on the Dong Ba market. Lunch was at Mme Thu . The food there was excellent. Highly recommended.
