Excellent day trip to Hue with Emily as our guide

Published on Jul, 2024

Very much enjoyed this trip from Da Nang. Our guide Emily was excellent - kind, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and we felt very well looked after. Loved the drive over the pass into Hue, the places we visited and the delicious lunch. Well worth the travel time and highly recommended this tour to see the historical sites of Hue.

Hue Tour

Published on May, 2024

Our tour guide Emily was fantastic , very knowledgeable and very considerate to all the guests. She also acted as our professional photographer for as many photos as we wanted at no additional cost. The tour was as advertised as a small group, there was only one additional couple in our group and we appreciated that there were no high pressure sales tactics.

Hue day trip

Published on Apr, 2024

This is a great way to visit Hue from Da Nang. Our guide was very informative and provided great commentary on the history of each location we visited. A highlight of the trip was the Kings Tomb which was amazing. The travel to and from Hue was comfortable and air conditioned with cold bottled water provided. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in travelling to Hue.
