Excellent day experiencing Hue city
Published on Jan, 2025
An excellent day out. Sherlock the guide and Hien the driver were superb. Very informative, personable and made the day enjoyable. Highly recommended day trip. Lunch was really nice. Please do not hesitate to book this day trip. A small group (12) of mixed origin. Sherlocks was very professional and diplomatic in dealing with some of the more “selfie” photographic oriented customers who displayed minimal interest in learning about Vietnamese history. He ensured those that wanted to learn were fully educated, thank you for your patience . Go for it and book!
