The tour of the Citadel and Forbidden City was very informative and enlightening and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Topped off with a cruise on The Perfume River which was very nice. I do recommend the Private Tour as you’re up close and personal.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our private Hue City tour with our guide Hong; his English was excellent and he was a fountain of knowledge about the Imperial Citadel. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Hue’s fascinating history.

We did 2 half days- the first day was the tombs and the second was the pagoda and the imperial city. Both guides Phuong and Pearl were excellent and engaging. It was very relaxed with not too many tourists
