Best way to discover Hue history - The visit was very well structured and we learnt a lot with our guide Hoa, who impressed us with his historical knowledge - we also appreciated his tips on architecture principles as well as the connections he drew with modern history, over the whole dynastic period . Needless to day his English was excellent. Highly recommended tour (and guide).

Ms Trinh was the best guide - Ms Trinh was an excellent guide. Her English language and knowledge of Hue were excellent and there wasn't a question she wasn't happy to answer or didnt know. We wish we could have spent more time with her

Fantastic walking tour with Ms. Trinh - Ms. Trinh took my husband and I on a fantastic walking tour of the Imperial City in Hue. She provided expert historical advice and was a fantastic photographer too! Ms. Trinh was professional, humorous, patient, and informative. I recommend this tour and her guidance to anyone visiting the city. Great for families, couples, solo travelers, and large groups. Thank you Trinh! :-)

Mr. T!! - Mr. T was a phenomenal guide! He is super knowledgeable and he was able to answer all of our questions. We learned so much, and the experience would’ve been significantly worse without him guiding us. Would highly recommend.
