Awesome experience - This was one of the best rides we had the whole time we were here! The spoke very good English and knew so much about Vietnams history! He didn’t rush us anywhere we went and even made an extra stop for us to see the dragon bridge and get a photo! Would highly recommend!

A good way to see the sites of Hue. - While the cost was more than if you arranged individual trips to each of the sites, having a driver available to you was hassle free. The driver, Voi was engaging and knowledgeable, flexible to meet our needs on the day and was always right there when done. No pressure of time. Vehicle was excellent and water always on hand.

Great way to see Hue in one day! - This was such a good day! Son (if I write that correctly, sorry if not) was my driver. He was the kindest guy ever and knew a lot about this beautiful city. I was here during the heatwave so it was like 42 degrees out. Must admit I don't recommend that, but so happy I went along and saw all the beautiful historic sights. Son also stopped at two mystery locations that were very cool. While you are together in the car you can ask him all the things you want to know about Hue and Vietnam. He constantly has cold water for you as well so you can keep cool and hydrated :-) When you get to the locations you will explore on your own. It was really nice to be able to do in my own pace, but in hindsight I should have prepared a bit better so you know exactly what you want to see since the Citadel and the tombes are very big and it was too hot out to see the whole thing. So that would be my only tip! Really recommend it though and thank you Son for showing me around!

Excellent, Safe Driver - I'm a solo woman traveler, and I'm so glad I opted for this tour. The driver, Hòa, was knowledgeable, respectful, personable, flexible, and (most importantly) made me feel safe. This is not a guided tour, and that is what I wanted. However, on the way to each stop, Hòa explained the historical and cultural signifance of each location in an interesting way. If you want to see 3 tombs, the pagoda, and the citadel, then opt for the combo ticket (530k VND). Hòa helped me decide and purchase the combo ticket at the first stop. Highly recommend for simplicity, ease, and safety!

Experience-rich trip in Hue with a skilled and knowledgeable driver - We were picked up at the hotel by our skilled driver Hoa, who in excellent English guided us around to the places we wanted to visit. Hoa gave good introductions to the places, talking lively and enthusiastically about Vietnam's history, society and daily life, and he answered all the questions we had. When we wanted to extend the trip with a visit to the former DMZ on the same day, he was flexible and got it arranged. Very nice experience, and Hoa can only be warmly recommended.
